Is the Dacia Lodgy coming here?
Hi, I'm starting to notice a lot of Dacias and researched to see if they have a 7 seater. I found the Dacia Lodgy Stepway but it's currently not available here. I phoned Dacia Ireland and they said it would be here end 2016 / early 2017. I then phoned some Dacia dealers who said that's the first they heard of it coming here. When I contacted Dacia Ireland a second time they said there are no current plans to bring it to Ireland. Is it possible that it is coming and that the person let the cat out of the bag on the first phone call and that they deny it now to try and get people to buy current stock? I have seen the Lodgy in Germany and I think it would make a lot of more upmarket brands sweat a little if it was on sale here.
Our answer:
Hi Clive,
An odd one this, and it seems as if the first person you spoke to was mistaken – we’ve been on to Dacia Ireland about it and the official response is that the Lodgy isn’t made in right-hand drive yet, and that there are, currently, no plans to change this as projected sales volumes are too low. The Lodgy was originally set to be launched in the UK market in 2013, but it never happened in the end, but that’s not to say that we won’t get the next-generation model.
