Geneva: New Dacia Lodgy Gets Low Cost Nav
Unveiled today ath the Geneva Motor Show, the Dacia Lodgy is a MPV Car with a low cost price tag starting at €9,900 that adds up to the range developed over the years by the brand part of the Renault group.

Among the optional features is MEDIA NAV, a multimedia and GPS navigation infotainment system that features a 7-INCH touchscreen, said to cost only €430.

The navigation has been developed by an unknown party, but the map data is sourced from NAVTEQ, as announced in a press release today.

This navigation unit is said to be integrated into other Dacia vehicles in the future.

“Dacia’s blueprint for success is to provide space and quality, at an affordable price.  A robust and reliable multi-media system at an attractive price, MEDIA NAV is complementing this formula,” said  François Gayral, Cross Car Line Global Marketing Director at Dacia.

“By incorporating NAVTEQ Map data with its superior specification and broad coverage, MEDIA NAV offers an entry level system which can also be upgraded with additional navigation content via USB stick.”

This announcement indicates that Renault has not selected TomTom for in-dash navigation in the Dacia line.
