The hybrid Jogger estate costs £5,450 more than the cheapest petrol – but it will take 31 YEARS of fuel savings to recoup that.

Budget car brand Dacia has joined the electrified party with its first hybrid model unveiled this week.

The petrol-electric version of its seven-seat Jogger estate is available to order now, with prices starting from just £22,595.

That may be cheap compared to many similar new cars, but it’s a whopping £5,450 premium on the cheapest petrol-powered Jogger, which starts from just £17,145 – and is the cheapest car on sale in its segment.

But while the hybrid will offer better fuel economy, This is Money has calculated the small saving in annual fuel bills will mean it takes over 31 years to recover the £5,450 additional cost of choosing the greener option.

I gues the general rule of thumb is how many miles per year you do, on when it will pay for the exra outlay

Or is it about the self satisfaction of knowing you’re helping to save the planet that attracts buyers ?

That will almost certainly depend on who you ask!

There is a Dacia Duster on a 20 plate near me and one thing i noticed about it,was all the wheel nuts are completely rusty,as if they were never chrome plated just polished mild steel.
