Dacia introduces the "concept EV of tomorrow"

Since the beginning of the 21^st century, the automotive market has been evolving towards larger, heavier, and more sophisticated, albeit costly, cars. In that regard, Dacia has bene pursuing its goal to enable as many people as possible to access essential mobility.

But who can really say what will be essential tomorrow? And what if Dacia started with a blank page? Enter the Dacia Hipster concept car.

The Dacia Hipster concept aims to halve the carbon footprint compared to current EVs

Offering capacity in an ultra-compact format, the Dacia Hipster concept stands out for its very simple and robust design: A block sitting firmly on four wheels, with no overhang at either the front or the rear. This simplicity is reflected in the design of the front end, which is entirely horizontal and incorporates sleek headlights. At the rear, the tailgate covers the entire width and opens in two parts to provide ultra-practical access to the boot.

The Dacia Hipster concept's interior closely follows the very cubic shapes of the bodywork to make the most of the available space. It can house four passengers comfortably and its seats' designs have been simplified with a visible frame combined with a technical mesh fabric. The front seats are merged to form a bench seat, and the openwork headrests once again help to optimise weight.

Thanks to its folding rear seat, the Dacia Hipster concept offers a boot capacity of up to 500 litres

Connectivity and digital technology are now essential features in the concept car, with the smartphone becoming a digital key to unlock and start the car. And with its smartphone docking station, the smartphone can act as a multimedia screen and also serve as the vehicle's audio system.

According to Dacia, the Hipster concept car is described as offering genuine capacity in an ultra-compact format, a unique proposition that does not currently exist on the market.
