Dacia is expanding its hybrid technology across its vehicle lineup to maintain competitiveness. The brand has rebranded its Hybrid-G 4x4 powertrain as ‘Tribrid’ to represent its three energy sources: gasoline, LPG, and electricity. This system, featured on the Duster and Bigster, utilizes a 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a 31 hp electric motor on the rear axle. The Tribrid 150 4x4 setup offers a combined output of approximately 150 hp and a total range of up to 1,500 km using two 50-liter tanks. This technology aims to reduce CO2 emissions and lower fuel costs, as LPG is approximately 40 percent cheaper than standard gasoline. In August 2026, Dacia introduced the Sandero Hybrid 155, a full hybrid utilizing a 1.8-liter engine and two electric motors. By September 2026, the brand confirmed this model would arrive in dealerships in the final quarter of the year with a starting price below 20,000 euros. The system features an automatic transmission without a clutch and can operate in electric mode for up to 80% of urban driving. Additionally, the ‘tribrid 150 4x4’ powertrain was introduced for the Duster, starting at 27,790 euros, and the Bigster, starting at 30,890 euros. Following a preview in Poland, Dacia officially opened orders for the Striker, a C-segment crossover/station wagon. The 4.62-meter vehicle offers several electrified options, including a 140 hp mild hybrid-G LPG version, a Hybrid 155 full hybrid, and a Hybrid 150 4x4. The Striker features four trim levels—Essential, Expression, Extreme, and Journey—and includes a 7-inch LightVisio dashboard screen. Pricing for the Striker ranges from 21,990 euros for the Essential trim to 32,780 euros for the top-tier configuration, remaining below competitors like the Skoda Octavia Combi. In July 2026, the Dacia Sandero reclaimed its position as the most popular car in Europe, with over 19,700 units sold.
