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 355 bhp (265 kW; 360 PS) and 265 lb⋅ft (359 N⋅m) of torque.

Two models were raced by father and son Alain Prost and Nicolas Prost, and the third by Evens Stievenart. [8] 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. [9] It was the first MPV model to win the competition, [10] and the second model from Dacia to compete in the Andros Trophy, after the Duster took part in the seasons of 2010 and 2011. [11]

Safety

The Lodgy for India with no airbags and no ABS received 0 stars for adult occupants and 2 stars for toddlers from Global NCAP in 2018 (similar to Latin NCAP 2013). [12]
