Dacia Prepares to Launch Its New Urban EV — the Hipster
The Dacia Hipster seats four and offers between 70 and 500 liters of cargo space.
Dacia is gearing up to introduce a new compact electric car called the Hipster in 2027. According to the brand’s chief designer, David Durand, the goal behind the project is to “bring back the meaning of a simple car” — an affordable, no-nonsense alternative to the growing fleet of pricey EVs on the market.
Designed for four passengers, the Hipster offers a luggage capacity ranging from 70 to 500 liters. The car features a lightweight body, straightforward construction, and an emphasis on efficient use of materials.
Inside, a smartphone running Dacia’s dedicated app will replace the traditional central display, allowing drivers to control key vehicle functions.
In keeping with the brand’s minimalist philosophy, the windows are operated manually, and the cabin is made from durable, budget-friendly materials.
Dacia says the Hipster will deliver enough driving range for daily use, requiring just two charges per week for typical urban commuting.
Mass production of the new electric model is slated to begin in 2027.
