Dacia Lodgy

Which generation to buy first

The catalogue lists two generations with different English names: 1 generation (2012-01-01 to 2017-01-31, 8 versions) and 1 generation, restyling (from 2017-01-01, stop not measured, 10 versions). Body type is Compact Van on both.

The catalogue lists two generations with different English names: 1 generation (2012-01-01 to 2017-01-31, 8 versions) and 1 generation, restyling (from 2017-01-01, stop not measured, 10 versions). Body type is Compact Van on both.

What the restyling actually changes, in arithmetic:

• Peak power rises from 116 hp (1.5 MT Blue dCi) to 131 hp (1.3 TCe MT 131 hp): +15 hp.
• The fastest 0–100 km/h moves from 10.7 s (both 1.2 MT 115 hp rows) to 10.6 s (1.2 TCe MT): 0.1 s.
• Best mixed consumption moves from 4.2 L/100 km (1.5 MT 90 hp) to 3.8 L/100 km (1.5 TD MT 109 hp): 0.4 L/100 km less.
• Lightest kerb weight is still the pre-restyle 1.6 MT 86 hp at 1165 kg; the restyling floor is 1211 kg (1.6 MT 102 hp).
• The only 6-speed Manual, the only Independent, spring rear axle, and the only Ventilated disc front brakes sit in 1 generation on 1.5 MT Blue dCi. Restyling diesels listed here are 5-speed with Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear and Disc / Drum.
• Fuel 92 appears on restyling gasoline and LPG rows; pre-restyle gasoline is 95.
• Euro 5 is measured on every 1 generation row except 1.5 MT Blue dCi (not measured). Restyling eco class is not measured on all 10 versions.
• LPG (1.6 Gas MT) exists only after the restyling.

If you want the unique 6-speed diesel chassis, stay on 1 generation. If you want 131 hp, LPG, or 3.8 L/100 km mixed, the restyling is the only generation that has those figures.

Engines and specs (every named version)

Same `mod_name` is split by horsepower, as in the database.

1 generation (2012–2017)

1.2 MT is Direct injection (direct), 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse. Both 1.6 MT rows are Distributed injection (multi-point), 4 valves, Front, transverse. Diesel 1.5 MT rows are 2 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse; injection system not measured. 1.5 MT Blue dCi lists 8 valves per cylinder; injection, boost and cylinder layout are not measured.

Power per litre (hp ÷ displacement in litres): 1.2 MT 115 hp → 96.0 hp/L; 1.6 MT 86 hp → 53.8 hp/L; 1.6 MT 102 hp → 63.8 hp/L; 1.5 MT 110 hp → 75.3 hp/L; 1.5 MT 90 hp → 61.6 hp/L; 1.5 MT Blue dCi 116 hp → 79.4 hp/L. The 1198 cc Turbo therefore makes 42.2 hp/L more than the 86 hp 1598 cc with boost No.

1 generation, restyling (from 2017)

Power per litre: 1.2 TCe MT 96.9 hp/L; 1.3 TCe MT 102 hp → 76.6 hp/L; 1.3 TCe MT 131 hp → 98.3 hp/L (highest in the whole catalogue); 1.6 MT 63.8 hp/L; 1.6 Gas MT 109 hp → 68.2 hp/L; 1.6 Gas MT 102 hp → 63.8 hp/L; 1.5 TD 116 hp and 1.5 TD MT 116 hp → 79.4 hp/L; 1.5 TD 95 hp → 65.0 hp/L; 1.5 TD MT 109 hp → 74.6 hp/L.

The restyling 1.2 TCe MT is 3 cylinders; pre-restyle 1.2 MT is 4. Displacement is 1197 cc versus 1198 cc. Torque peak of 1.2 TCe MT is at 1750 rpm versus 1500 rpm on 1.2 MT. Peak power is 116 versus 115 hp.

Two 1.3 TCe MT rows share 1332 cc, 4 Inline, Turbo, Manual 5, FWD. The 131 hp row adds 29 hp and 20 Nm over the 102 hp row. Both list 0–100 km/h 11.4 s and 177 km/h — the extra 29 hp does not change those two measured times in this table.

• 1.6 MT 86 hp: 1165 / 86 = 13.5
• 1.5 MT 90 hp: 1280 / 90 = 14.2 kg/hp (worst)

0–100 km/h, ranked where measured:

1. 1.2 TCe MT 10.6 s 2. 1.2 MT 115 hp 10.7 s (both mixed-consumption rows) 3. 1.5 MT Blue dCi, 1.5 TD 116 hp, 1.5 TD MT 116 hp 10.9 s 4. 1.5 TD MT 109 hp 11.2 s 5. 1.3 TCe MT 102 hp and 131 hp 11.4 s 6. 1.6 MT 102 hp (both generations), 1.5 MT 110 hp (both rows), 1.6 Gas MT 102 hp 11.6 s 7. 1.5 MT 90 hp 12.4 s 8. 1.5 TD 95 hp 13.1 s 9. 1.6 MT 86 hp 14.3 s

1.6 Gas MT 109 hp: 0–100 km/h not measured.

Top speed: 1.5 MT Blue dCi, 1.5 TD 116 hp and 1.5 TD MT 116 hp share the catalogue maximum 185 km/h. Floor is 159 km/h on 1.6 MT 86 hp. 1.3 TCe MT 131 hp is 177 km/h — 8 km/h below those 116 hp diesels despite 15 more hp.

Mixed consumption (L/100 km), where measured:

• 1.5 TD MT 109 hp: 3.8 (best)
• 1.5 MT 90 hp: 4.2 (CO2 109)
• 1.5 MT Blue dCi: 4.3 (city 4.6, highway 4.2)
• 1.5 TD 95 hp: 4.3
• 1.5 MT 110 hp (measured row): 4.4 (city 5.3, highway 4.0)
• 1.3 TCe MT 131 hp: 5.0
• 1.3 TCe MT 102 hp: 5.1
• 1.5 TD MT 116 hp: 5.1
• 1.6 MT restyling 102 hp: 5.2
• 1.2 MT mixed 5.7: city 7.3, highway 4.8
• 1.6 MT 102 hp gen 1: 6.1 (city 7.8, highway 5.2, CO2 139)
• 1.2 MT mixed 6.2: city 7.5, highway 5.2
• 1.6 Gas MT both: 6.4 (city/highway not measured)
• 1.6 MT 86 hp: 7.5 (city 9.9, highway 6.2) — worst

Not measured mixed: 1.5 MT 110 hp (first row), 1.2 TCe MT, 1.5 TD 116 hp.

City/highway split is not measured on the restyling except where mixed is given without a split.

On a 50 L tank, mixed range from the consumption figures: 1.5 TD MT 109 hp ≈ 1316 km (50 / 3.8 × 100); 1.6 MT 86 hp ≈ 667 km (50 / 7.5 × 100). Difference: 649 km per tank.

The two 1.2 MT 115 hp rows are identical in hp, Nm, 10.7 s and 179 km/h; they differ only in consumption (5.7 vs 6.2 mixed, +0.5 L/100 km) — treat them as two measured economy records of the same name, not as two power levels.

The two 1.5 MT 110 hp rows share 11.6 s, 175 km/h, 1280 / 1870 kg; one has mixed 4.4, the other mixed/city/highway all not measured.

Which version to choose (by job)

Most hp, best kg/hp. Restyling 1.3 TCe MT 131 hp: 131 hp, 220 Nm, 9.8 kg/hp, mixed 5.0, 11.4 s, 177 km/h, 1286 kg. It is 15 hp above the strongest diesel and 45 hp above 1.6 MT 86 hp. It is not the fastest 0–100 (that is 1.2 TCe MT at 10.6 s) and not the highest top speed (185 km/h diesels).

Lowest mixed L/100 km. Restyling 1.5 TD MT 109 hp: 3.8 mixed, 109 hp, 260 Nm, 11.2 s, 177 km/h. Versus 1.5 MT 90 hp (4.2 mixed) it uses 0.4 L/100 km less and is 1.2 s quicker to 100 km/h with 19 more hp and 60 more Nm.

Fastest 0–100. Restyling 1.2 TCe MT: 10.6 s, 116 hp, 190 Nm, 3 Inline, 1256 kg. Mixed consumption not measured. Versus pre-restyle 1.2 MT 115 hp it is 0.1 s quicker, 24 kg lighter, 1 hp more, and 3 cylinders instead of 4.

Highest top speed and only 6-speed. 1 generation 1.5 MT Blue dCi: 185 km/h, 10.9 s, 116 hp, 265 Nm, Manual 6, mixed 4.3, 1397 kg. Restyling 1.5 TD 116 hp and 1.5 TD MT 116 hp match 185 km/h, 10.9 s, 116 hp and 265 Nm but use 5 gears and 1280 kg (−117 kg). 1.5 TD MT 116 hp mixed is 5.1 versus Blue dCi 4.3 (+0.8 L/100 km); 1.5 TD 116 hp mixed is not measured. Buy Blue dCi only if the 6th gear, Ventilated disc, Independent rear and 1958 kg gross are the point; otherwise the lighter 5-speed 116 hp diesels match the speed figures.

Lightest Lodgy / largest payload. 1.6 MT 86 hp: 1165 kg, 603 kg payload, 14.3 s, 159 km/h, mixed 7.5, 13.5 kg/hp, torque not measured. Versus 1.6 MT 102 hp it is 16 hp down, 2.7 s slower to 100, 13 km/h slower on top, and 2.3 L/100 km thirstier in mixed (7.5 vs 6.1 gen 1 / 5.2 restyling). The 86 hp row exists only in 1 generation.

Natural-aspirated gasoline that is not the 86 hp. 1.6 MT 102 hp: same 102 hp, 156 Nm, 11.6 s, 172 km/h, 1211 kg, 130 mm clearance in both generations. Gen 1 mixed 6.1 and CO2 139; restyling mixed 5.2 (city/highway not measured), fuel 92 instead of 95. Restyling 1.6 MT therefore records 0.9 L/100 km less mixed at the same hp and weight.

LPG. Only restyling 1.6 Gas MT. The 109 hp row: 144 Nm, top speed 164 km/h, 0–100 not measured, mixed 6.4, 1276 kg, 130 mm. The 102 hp row: 156 Nm (12 Nm more than the 109 hp LPG), 11.6 s, 170 km/h, mixed 6.4, 1280 kg. Same 6.4 mixed; the 102 hp LPG is the one with a measured sprint and 6 km/h more top speed. Versus gasoline 1.6 MT 102 hp, LPG 102 hp is 69 kg heavier (1280 vs 1211) and 1.2 L/100 km thirstier mixed (6.4 vs 5.2 restyling).

Diesel if you want the 90–95 hp band. 1.5 MT 90 hp (gen 1): 12.4 s, 169 km/h, mixed 4.2, CO2 109, 120 mm, compression 15.5. Restyling 1.5 TD 95 hp: +5 hp, +20 Nm (220 vs 200), 13.1 s (0.7 s slower in this table), 172 km/h, mixed 4.3. The 90 hp row is quicker to 100 despite 5 fewer hp; the 95 hp row is 3 km/h faster on top.

Do not pick by name alone. 1.5 MT is 90 or 110 hp. 1.5 TD is 95 or 116 hp. 1.5 TD MT is 109 or 116 hp. 1.3 TCe MT is 102 or 131 hp. 1.6 Gas MT is 102 or 109 hp. 1.6 MT is 86 or 102 hp. 1.2 MT is only 115 hp but two economy records.

Problems and reliability are not measured in these data.

Price is not measured.

Interior, 7-seat layout, Stepway pack are not measured here; the measured body label is Compact Van.

Short map: 131 hp gasoline → 1.3 TCe MT 131 hp; 3.8 L/100 km → 1.5 TD MT 109 hp; 10.6 s → 1.2 TCe MT; 185 km/h plus 6 gears → 1.5 MT Blue dCi; 130 mm and no turbo → 1.6 MT 102 hp or 1.6 Gas MT; lightest shell → 1.6 MT 86 hp, accepting 14.3 s and 7.5 mixed.
