*EXCLUSIVE* Dacia Hipster – A car with no rivals !

I travelled to Paris to have an exclusive very first look at the Dacia Hipster Concept. A small, lightweight four seat car that could redefine what little automobiles might be. I even get to go for a fast drive!

    It’s a very clever idea. Well executed. It’s like a Land Rover that’s been on a hot wash but so what. I hope they are brave enough to build it.

      Small EVs 100% agree, great for the city. Here’s the thing midsize to large EVs make HUGE sense out of the city too.

      Why this illogical premise that EV are only useful in the city? Yes it is a cool little car but for me EVs are perfect for living way out in the countryside which is where I have lived and owned an EV since 2019 as my only car. OK, I live 60 km from the nearest town and 130 km from the coast of Western France but my (now old tech) EV has a real world range of 450 km in summer, 400 in winter. Internal combustion makes no sense to me.

      Yes it’s what we need as city cars, but you have to realize that Evs are now far way better than ICE on longs trips too!
      Even my first Ev, a Kia E-Niro did well and now my BMW i4 is just perfect for longs roadtrips. With 25 less carbon emissions than a similar ICE car.

This is something different, very small, but still very practical normal city car without compromising so much.

      They’re not building anything close to this. At best it’s gonna be a tiny duster or a microvawed yaris clone. Everytime they want to build a square thing they get bogged down wit pedestrian regulations. And then the inside has to match the outside.

    The market for this type of funky coolness is huge providing the price point is sub £12k where the market is starved of a vehicle so good on you Dacia if you do go into production soon you will scoop the rewards.

      @@avierm2222 The Logan is an ICE vehicle. As the designer guy said, a third of the cost of a BEV is the battery. The Spring is far more comparable (range, weight, drive-train) and that starts at 15K with a tiny 27 KWh battery. If 5K is the starting point for this concepts battery, then your fantasy of half the price of a Logan is leaving almost nothing to build the rest of the car and make a profit! It just isn’t going to happen. Around the 12K mark? Maybe. As it is just a concept, expect another year or two for a production model. In that case, this terrible government will probably have printed many, many billions devaluing the pound to the point where this vehicle will cost _more_ than the Spring’s current price.

    Wheelchair user here. I can see the need for this as someone who regularly drives short journeys within the city. And with that space with the rear bench down, happliy accommodates the wheelchair. Hope to see this as an option on the Mobility Scheme in the near future should Dacia decide to make this.

    This concept is amazing. The Citroën Ami and its derivatives are too useless, while other small cars are too expensive. This is a majestic mix of cost-cutting in places where it makes a lot of sense, playful quirkiness that even French cars lost a long time ago, and a ton of practicality. As the cherry on top, all of this is packaged in a really cool and modern design. I love it – and as an electric car skeptic, this just makes sense. It would be amazing if it carries on to production with as many features as we can see here.

      Can’t agree about the Citroën ami. I’ve had one for three years of trouble free use from my country house into town for work and shopping. It cost me 4,999 €. I bet the Dacia is 3 times the price at least.
