Overview

• Dacia’s Hipster Concept is a 3.0 m, four-seat city EV with a configurable boot that expands from 70 to 500 liters by folding the rear bench.
• The brand says the car targets roughly 800 kg kerb weight—about 20% lighter than the Spring—and aims to halve lifecycle carbon footprint versus today’s EVs.
• Battery and motor details were not disclosed; Dacia only indicates daily-use suitability with around twice‑weekly charging rather than publishing range figures.
• The company signals production intent but frames it as contingent on a proposed EU ‘E‑car’ rule to permit simpler, cheaper small cars; pricing is unannounced, with sub‑€15,000 widely reported as media estimates.
• Cost-saving choices include sliding windows, strap door pulls, recycled Starkle cladding, a smartphone dock in place of built‑in infotainment, and 11 YouClip accessory mounts; the reveal also came alongside upgrades to the Spring and new hybrids for other Dacia models.
