The Dacia Lodgy is a compact MPV produced by the French manufacturer Renault and its Romanian subsidiary Dacia since 2012. It was officially unveiled jointly by both brands at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.{{cite web|last=Pulman|first=Ben|title=Dacia Lodgy MPV (2012) first official pictures|url=http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Dacia-Lodgy-MPV-2012-first-official-pictures/|publisher=Car Magazine|access-date=6 January 2012|date=5 January 2012}} The car was available only in LHD from launch, with front-wheel drive and a choice of five and seven seater models.

The Lodgy shares the Dacia M0 platform with the contemporary Dacia Logan, Dacia Sandero and Renault Symbol. It is powered by a choice of four cylinder engines: a 1.5 L diesel (in two variants) and two petrol engines, a 1.6 L aspirated and a 1.2 L turbocharged Energy TCe 115.{{cite web|title=Technical Data|url=http://www.dacia.ro/modele-si-preturi/lodgy/date-tehnice.html|publisher=Automobile Dacia|access-date=6 March 2012|date=6 March 2012|language=ro}}
Lodgy is the first Dacia model to offer a speed limiter, on the Laureate level, and a navigation system with a seven-inch touchscreen display, as an option. Bluetooth and USB connectivity, previously introduced on the Dacia Duster, are also available.{{cite web|title=Dacia Lodgy, lansată la Geneva |url=http://www.rfi.ro/articol/stiri/economie/dacia-lodgy-lansata-geneva |publisher=RFI România |access-date=6 March 2012 |date=6 March 2012 |language=ro }}{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
The Lodgy received three stars in Euro NCAP's crash test rating, considered to be the lowest result for a car in 2012.{{cite web|title=Dacia Lodgy safety test rated worst of 2012 |url=http://www.carsafetyrules.com/dacia-lodgy-safety-test-rated-worst-of-2012/ |publisher=Car Safety Rules|access-date=28 November 2012|date=29 November 2012}} In the test, the rear passenger floor panel and tunnel were completely separated, and the transmission tunnel was deformed between the front seats.{{cite web|title=Dacia budgets on safety|url=http://www.euroncap.com/Content-Web-Article/42264995-5e6e-4d2b-abf6-6c2032783494/dacia-budgets-on-safety.aspx|publisher=Euro NCAP|access-date=30 November 2012|date=28 November 2012}}

Lodgy Glace
In November 2011, Dacia announced that it would take part in the Andros Trophy, revealing the new Lodgy for the first time, in an ice racing version called Lodgy Glace. Unlike the production version, the Lodgy Glace featured a rear mid-engine, four-wheel-drive layout and was powered by a 3.0 litre V6 engine, which produced {{convert|355|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|265|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque.
Two models were raced by father and son Alain Prost and Nicolas Prost, and the third by Evens Stievenart.{{cite web|title=Dacia Lodgy ice racer shown|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/260066/|publisher=Autocar|access-date=6 January 2012|date=14 November 2011}} The team eventually won the competition, with Alain Prost as the first placed driver, gaining four victories and six other podium finishes.
The seven rounds took place in Val Thorens, Andorra, Alpe d'Huez, Isola 2000, Lans-en-Vercors, Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and Super Besse.{{cite web|title=Rapports de courses - Trophée Andros|url=http://www.dacia.fr/univers-dacia/evenements/trophee-andros/rapports-de-courses/|publisher=Dacia France|access-date=14 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206053158/http://www.dacia.fr/univers-dacia/evenements/trophee-andros/rapports-de-courses/|archive-date=6 February 2013|url-status=dead}} It was the first MPV model to win the competition,{{cite web|title=Prost și Dacia Lodgy "Glace" încununați de succes la Trofeul Andros!|url=http://www.daciagroup.com/presa/comunicate-de-presa/2012/prost-si-dacia-lodgy-glace-incununati-de-succes-la-trofeul-andros|publisher=Dacia|access-date=14 August 2013|date=30 January 2012}} and the second model from Dacia to compete in the Andros Trophy, after the Duster took part in the seasons of 2010 and 2011.{{cite web|title=Dacia Lodgy "Glace": o masina deosebita si un sezon deosebit la Trofeul Andros|url=http://www.daciagroup.com/presa/comunicate-de-presa/2011/dacia-lodgy-glace-o-masina-deosebita-si-un-sezon-deosebit-la-trofeul|publisher=Dacia|access-date=13 August 2013|date=14 November 2011}}
