Dacia Lodgy MPV first pics
Dacia has revealed its new Lodgy MPV, which is due to debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.
Specification details are sketchy, but Dacia has confirmed that the Lodgy’s dodgy name derives from ‘lodge’, five- or seven-seat versions will be available and its overall length is 4,500 mm (about 14’ 9”).
That makes it just a tad shorter than the Grand Scénic from parent firm Renault, although it’s unclear whether both models share the same platform. Certainly they manage to look different which, judging by the images, isn’t necessarily a good thing for the Dacia.
While the Grand Scénic manages to appear fairly neat and stylish, the Lodgy looks a bit too van-like and its awkward proportions aren’t helped by seemingly tiny wheels. Going by the first view it’s a disappointment, especially as some recent Dacia designs (such as the Duster) have managed to be both distinctive and appealing. Perhaps the Lodgy will be better in the metal…
The Dacia brand is scheduled to launch in the UK in a year’s time, so there’s a chance that in time the Lodgy MPV could end up on sale here.
