The Manifesto is Dacia's Living Lab

Dacia's Manifesto Concept is the brand's vision of an essential, cool, robust, affordable and environmentally efficient car. Although it does not prefigure an upcoming model, the Manifesto concept is a lab for ideas with some of its innovative features available on future vehicles in the Dacia range.

The Manifesto explores a connection to nature by being environmentally friendly, robust and by demonstrating usefulness in the outdoors. It is a statement about the brand's aim to stand by customers as they become ever keener to try outdoor pursuits, while expanding on the values and qualities that have helped to build Dacia's success.

The concept car has no barriers between the passengers and the environment. There are no doors, no windows, no windshield. The driver and passenger are therefore fully immersed in nature. 

Passengers can also be close to nature and at the same time remain connected with the services available on their smartphone: Dacia's simple, effective and economical Bring-Your-Own-Device approach makes it possible to fully integrate a smartphone into the dashboard and on-board computer.

The Manifesto Concept comes with all the off-road features, including four-wheel drive, a very generous ride height, large wheels and a body built to withstand the toughest terrain. It is also waterproof on the inside, being able to be jetwashed for interior cleanliness.

For extra practicality, the roof rack can carry all sorts of loads as the carrier bars can shift into a variety of configurations. 

The concept's main plastic body parts also contain a significant portion of recycled material.

Called Starkle, it is made from already processed polypropylene, with a flecked effect.
