Just WhatsApp'd my work group asking about this as I'm off today, my manager has come back to me saying that Sandero, Stepway and Jogger go up tomorrow, I've replied asking by how much, he's not responded yet!
Nightmare! Was going to place an order tomorrow

There's an article in this weeks Economist quoting Renault's CFO. Renault predicted raw material costs would double in 2022, now they expect them to triple. Since Dacia's prices are low compared to other brands they probably don't have much "wiggle room" to absorb increasing costs.
As I have said in numerous threads, prices of second hand cars are going to rise because the price of new cars is going to massively rise. In the time between me first hearing about the Stepway and eventually ordering one the price increased from £11,495 to £12,995 in a year. Now it sounds like it is going to increase again tomorrow.The base Jogger was £14,995 when it was announced and then quickly rose to £15,395 and it sounds like that is also going to increase be a further £1K tomorrow.
Anyone who bought a Dacia in the past year is quids in as they can sell it for more than they actually paid for it. Absolutely crazy situation, hence why I am hoping the price of my car is honoured and it eventually turns up so I can stop thinking about this.

Although it's nice to know normal new car economics no longer apply.

Prices don’t change until Friday. Get an order in tomorrow and you’re price protected.
The dealer was very surprised we'd had the bulletin!!Anyway, struggled to ram in the three narrowest kiddie seats I could find, so alas it's a no go. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

This may be a bit late for you, but have a look at the Halfords car seats. By far the narrowest I've found - can get three across the back of my OH's WRX, for example, which I was pleasantly surprised at.Bit of a mare finding cars that can fit 3 kid seats in the back.
We used to have 2 booster type and a baby seat.
Fine in my old E36 and on the flat bench of my old Land Rover D3 but, when the D3 broke down, yet again, the replacement Range Rover Vogue with its beautiful cream leather rear seating was useless due to the thick bolstering

Don't forget there's the Multimac for 3 kids - I will be ordering one as soon as we've decided on what car to actually get!
This may seem like a silly question, but would there be any benefits of mapping the 0.9 engine? It's a turbo right so got to have some gains no matter how little. Wonder if there's a company out there doing this. Is it the same engine as in Captur's?

I've bought mine blind, the middle seats looked flat from pics so was hoping i could fit a booster seat, an isofix baby seat and a 10 year old who is tall enough to not need a seat (something just about doable in my NX which is 60mm wider but has raised cushion supports)... Whichever kid annoys me the most that day will probably be shoved in the 3rd row I guess.

You'll probably be ok. I'm struggling with 3 narrow high back boosters as they sit so close together, you can barely plug them in. If you have someone in the middle without a booster, you should be ok.seiben said:

Thanks, I'm using two Britax seats, two of the narrowest at 44cm and an Asda one that's just 41.5cm across. Still tight though. It's weird because the outermost seat with just one plug sits almost under the seat...fiddly.Took this one with the slightly wider seat in place, but result is similar:
They will go in, but plugging in / unplugging requires you to pull the outer seats off the bench a bit.
Here's the awful, but apparently wider, Toyota Verso. Not sure it shows it that well, but the kiddie seats don't touch meaning you have room to get your hands in and plug in / unplug:

Thanks, that's a good image to compare. Took this one with the slightly wider seat in place, but result is similar:

I don't suppose you (or someone with a Jogger) Could measure the distance between the two isofix points to give an idea of middle seat width please?
When we tried 2 boosters and an isofix in the NX, the middle booster seat would often cause the seat belt to unbuckle which was dangerous as the clip in bit was under the seat. First time it happened I thought I forgot to plug it in, only when it did it again I realised what was happening.

A far cry from when you could load about 10 young ones into a random parent's Mark 3 Cortina estate
We used to go to Red Cross cadet classes in the boot of the instructor's Reliant Scimitar!Anyway, back to the Jogger - it does look great for us, apart from maybe rear legroom? Our family trips seem to be blighted by everyone except me needing all their "stuff" at their feet all the journey.
