📖Dacia Lodgy Facelift (2017-2019): a pragmatic family people carrier with updated engines

Dacia Lodgy (facelift 2017) (2017-Présent)

Restyled in 2017 with an updated radiator grille, refreshed headlights and improved interior switchgear, the Lodgy maintained its core identity as one of Europe’s most affordable multi-purpose vehicles. Compared to complex mainstream alternatives, attentive Dacia Lodgy maintenance provides unbeatable passenger accommodation per pound, though buyers must navigate a transitional engine lineup spanning older units and modern powertrains.

Between 2017 and 2019, the range featured the chain-driven 1.6 SCe petrol engine, the reliable 1.5 dCi and late-production 1.2 TCe models, alongside the introduction of the superior 1.3 TCe engine co-developed with Daimler. While the 1.6 SCe remains the simplest mechanical proposition, the 1.3 TCe brings refined power and resolved oil consumption concerns. Meanwhile, the Blue dCi turbodiesel suits long-distance touring families provided emissions hardware is not choked by city usage.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Retains class-leading 5- and 7-seater passenger capacity and immense boot volume at an unbeatable price point.
  • The naturally aspirated 1.6 SCe provides dependable, low-maintenance petrol motoring with a timing chain.
  • Introduction of the refined 1.3 TCe brings strong performance and improved long-term mechanical reliability.
  • Proven 1.5 dCi and Blue dCi diesels remain remarkably frugal on motorway journeys.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 1.2 TCe (H5Ft) end-of-series: scrutinise oil consumption records, timing chain noise and spark plug condition.
  • 1.3 TCe (H5H): verify smooth turbocharger response, clean idle and ensure approved RN17 synthetic oil changes.
  • 1.5 dCi / Blue dCi: monitor AdBlue dosing system, DPF differential pressure, EGR valve and clutch engagement under payload.
  • Suspension and rear axle: inspect rear springs, shock absorbers and rear drum brakes on 7-seat models used for heavy family trips.
  • Interior trim and switchgear: check electric window switches, air conditioning output and seat folding mechanisms.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change every 15,000 km or 12 months using Renault RN17 specification lubricant.
  • Cambelt kit and water pump replacement every 120,000 km or 60 months on 1.5 dCi and Blue dCi engines.
  • Brake fluid replacement and rear brake inspection every 24 months or 40,000 km.
  • AdBlue system check and diesel particulate filter diagnostics at every annual service on Blue dCi models.
