Under the leadership of CEO Katrin Adt, Dacia is implementing a growth strategy centered on electrification and affordability. While some competitors are reducing operations, Dacia is pursuing an expansionist approach by investing in new models to balance internal combustion engine offerings with electric vehicle rollouts.

A key component of this strategy involves the development of the ‘Hipster’, an ultra-compact electric vehicle designed for urban mobility. Expected to launch in 2027, the Hipster is envisioned as a simple, lightweight, and highly affordable model, with an estimated price range between 12,000 and 15,000 euros. The vehicle is projected to be approximately 3 meters in length and capable of accommodating four passengers.
