Dacia has finally unveiled the optional Sleep Pack for the Jogger, which transforms the budget-friendly crossover station wagon into a proper camper. The factory kit was announced at the European Motor Show in Brussels, alongside the debut of the Extreme flagship trim for the Spring, Sandero Stepway, Jogger, and Duster.
The Sleep Pack was previewed last September but is now offered in production spec as a factory-fit accessory at a price of €1,490 ($1,589) for new vehicles, or €1,790 ($1,909) when purchased separately later on. It is part of Dacia’s InNature accessory range and is compatible with all trim levels of the Jogger.

The accessory is mounted at the boot of the Jogger and includes a double bed that can slide open in less than two minutes, a shelf, and a storage box with a capacity of 220 lt (7.8 cubic feet). All of those, including the mattress, weigh less than 50 kg (110 pounds) since they are made of wood. The double mattress measures 190 x 130 cm (74.8 x 51.2 inches) and offers 60 cm (23.6 inches) of headroom as it is placed on the seatbacks of the folded second-row seats.
For its fitment, owners of the seven-seater Jogger must take out the removable seats of the third row, but the five-seater capacity is not compromised. Thankfully, the Sleep Pack is removable, so it doesn’t limit the practicality of the Jogger when it’s not in use. Dacia said that it didn’t include a portable stove or a cooler in the Sleep Pack in order to keep it as affordable as possible while allowing the users to add their own accessories later on. Furthermore, the Sleep Pack can be optionally combined with blackout blinds for all windows, and a very cool smart tent that can be connected to the tailgate when the boot is open, offering sleeping space for extra people. Note that this is not the only camper-conversion kit offered for the Jogger, as independent company Camperiz showed a similar conversion last year.
The Extreme Trim Is Now Available For More Models

The limited-production Duster Extreme SE proved to be quite popular with adventure-loving buyers. Thus, after announcing the Dacia Spring Extreme in early 2023, the Romanian automaker decided to expand the availability of the flagship trim to the Sandero Stepway, Jogger, and Duster.
Visually, the models are distinguished by the Copper Brown accents on the roof rails, mirror caps, bumpers, hubcaps, and Dacia lettering, plus glossy black shark fin antennas and topographical graphics. The models ride on gloss black alloy wheels measuring 17 inches on the Duster, and 16 inches on the Sandero Stepway and Jogger. All those features can be combined with the new Cedar Green shade on the Sandero Stepway, Jogger, and Duster, and with the Slate Blue shade on the Spring.
Inside, the wear-resistant and easy-to-clean MicroCloud upholstery covers the seats, door panels, and part of the dashboard, while Copper Brown accents mimic the exterior theme. Dacia also added durable rubber floor mats with a topographical pattern.
Besides the fancy spec, the Extreme variants of the Sandero Stepway and Jogger come standard with the “Extended Grip” feature. This can be activated from a button on the center console, providing the FWD-only models with more traction on slippery surfaces by adjusting the ESC settings. The Dacia Duster doesn’t need that since it is available with a four-wheel-drive system making it the most suitable choice for off-roading.
All of the Extreme models are already available to order. As for pricing, in France, the Dacia Sandero Stepway Extreme starts from €17,400 ($18,540), the Dacia Jogger Extreme from €20,900 ($22,270), and the Dacia Duster Extreme from €21,300 ($22,696), while the fully electric Dacia Spring Extreme is the most expensive of them all, starting at €22,300 ($23,762) before subsidies.
