Dacia’s Hipster Concept Targets L7e Class for Low‑Cost Rural EV Mobility

The compact four‑seater touts simple hardware, short‑range practicality and household‑socket charging under light‑quadricycle rules, yet pricing and production are still undecided.

Overview

  • Presented this week, the boxy study measures about three meters and seats four, with Dacia claiming a folded rear bench can accommodate a refrigerator.
  • Dacia says it aims for L7e homologation with a mass limit of 450 kg without the battery, a top speed near 80 km/h and only ABS required by regulation.
  • The small battery is estimated to deliver roughly 80 kilometers of range and can be replenished from a standard home outlet.
  • The brand positions the Hipster as a cheaper complement to the Spring, which starts around €17,000, but it has not announced an official price or timing.
  • The vehicle remains a concept as Dacia prepares a broader roadmap update expected in November 2025.
