Overview

  • For model year 2026, the Spring switches to a 24.3 kWh LFP battery, gains 52 kW and 75 kW motors, and offers up to 40 kW DC fast charging while keeping an advertised WLTP range of about 225 km and an entry price of roughly €16,900.
  • The Jogger receives a facelift with the new Hybrid 155 replacing Hybrid 140, an Eco‑G 120 LPG option with available 6‑speed dual‑clutch transmission, a larger 48.8‑liter LPG tank, refreshed styling and updated infotainment and safety tech.
  • Sandero and Sandero Stepway get updated styling with a new LED signature, a 10.1‑inch infotainment system with wireless smartphone integration, fresh interior materials, and added powertrain choices including Hybrid 155 and Eco‑G 120 LPG.
  • Dacia also revealed the Hipster concept, a three‑meter urban EV study positioned in the L7 class with targets of up to 15 kW, 90 km/h and a minimalist, lightweight design featuring smartphone‑based functions and modular YouClip accessories.
  • Reporting points to a possible €10,000 target price and a 2026–2027 window for a Hipster‑derived model, but Dacia has not confirmed production and analysts note a very small battery near 10 kWh could limit real‑world range to roughly 60–100 km and face regulatory hurdles.
