Overview

• The ultra-compact concept measures about 3.0 metres, weighs under 800 kg, seats four adults, and offers a boot that expands from roughly 70 to 500 litres, targeting 20% less weight than the Spring.
• Cost- and weight-saving choices include sliding windows, textile pull-straps for doors, a smartphone dock in place of an infotainment unit, and recycled Starkle body cladding, with an ambition to halve lifecycle CO2 versus current EVs.
• Dacia has not released full battery or drivetrain specs; reporting cites indicative targets of around 150 km of range and a top speed near 90 km/h geared to twice‑weekly charging for daily use.
• Executives tout a price ambition below €15,000 (around £13,000) to challenge low-cost Chinese city EVs, framing the Hipster as a modern ‘people’s car’ if market and policy conditions align.
• The brand says any series model depends on EU approval of a Kei-like E-car class and an appropriate European industrial setup; alongside the reveal, Dacia detailed Spring chassis and motor upgrades and a Hybrid 155 powertrain for the Jogger.
