Anyone who wants lots and lots of space and good equipment (Extreme), combined with comfortable and outstanding fuel consumption (Hybrid 155), as well as good driving performance, is very well served by the Jogger. No more of that rattly cheap heap! It's affordable and in this package unrivaled. They've got it figured out!!!

the Jogger is spacious and the lack of unnecessary frills and over complex electronics negates frustration and niggles. Practically, it's versatility is great, and the price is unbelievable value.

The RAV4's boot is tiny. Pick the Jogger without hesitation — and pay €250 less per month.
