Trunk comparison: Dacia Duster vs Dacia Jogger

Key Differences

The Dacia Jogger offers significantly more space in several dimensions compared to the Duster: With the first row of seats upright, the Jogger's trunk is +7.5 in (20%) longer. The height of the Jogger's trunk opening is +4.3 in (14%) greater, and at its narrowest point, the Jogger's trunk is +8.3 in (21%) wider.

The loading edge of the Duster, however, sits +3.9 in (15%) higher above the road than that of the Jogger.

Smaller differences: With the seats folded down, the Jogger is +5.9 in (9%) longer (below the 10% mark), the width of the trunk opening is only +2 in (5%) larger, and the depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is identical in both models.

Impact on Usability

Thanks to the significantly greater length (with the first row upright), width at the narrowest point, and higher opening, the Jogger is better suited for loading bulky, tall, and wide items — such as furniture parts, flooring, or large boxes.

The higher opening makes it easier to load tall cargo, and the greater interior width provides more room for wide items without side contact.

The Jogger's 3.9 in lower loading edge reduces the effort required to lift heavy loads into the trunk; this makes it more practical and back-friendly for everyday use (groceries, luggage, tools).

The advantage of the Jogger with the fully folded cargo floor is present at +5.9 in (9%) but relatively small — it offers slightly more space for very long items, though the difference remains moderate.

Since the cargo depth is the same, both models are equal in usable floor length from the loading edge to the trunk floor. The slightly larger width of the opening on the Jogger (+2 in) is a minor additional benefit but less relevant than the interior width at the narrowest point.

Conclusion: Those who frequently transport wide, tall, or heavy cargo or value easier loading clearly benefit from the Jogger. For users who only occasionally carry bulky items and do not prioritize a lower loading edge or extra interior width, the difference in everyday use is less significant.
