Dacia is planning an electric revolution — four fully electric models by the end of 2030. But here's the catch: only one of them has an official name so far. The second-generation Spring is the sole confirmed member of the lineup.
And that alone is worth talking about. The newcomer gets European production, the RGEV Small platform, and a starting price below €18,000. It was developed in less than 16 months — a record pace for Dacia. Four proper seats and a boot are staying put, but the brand is keeping quiet on battery capacity, range, and power output.
Renault Group has already confirmed the brand's presence at the Paris Motor Show, running from October 12 to 18. Whether a full Spring premiere happens there, though, nobody's saying. The other three names in the supposed quartet exist only as predictions. Dacia has said the next-generation Sandero will get a multi-fuel range as part of its electrification strategy. That sounds like a hint toward a BEV version — but officially, the brand has named neither an electric Sandero nor a separate battery-powered Stepway.
Rumors that Stepway will be replaced by a standalone compact SUV are also unconfirmed. And the three-metre Hipster? It exists only as a concept — nothing more. Four seats, a boot ranging from 70 to 500 litres, and a weight roughly 20% below the current Spring — on paper, it looks tempting.
Dacia calls the Hipster a vision of affordable mobility. But the brand hasn't confirmed production, the roughly €13,000 price tag, or L7e-category status. So talk of a finished lineup of Spring, Hipster, Sandero, and Stepway is premature.
What we do know for certain: the number of upcoming EVs, the first of them, and the price ceiling below €18,000. The names of the other three, though, Dacia could still change — or scatter across other classes entirely before 2030 arrives.
Earlier, Tarantas.news reported that Dacia built the most powerful Sandero yet for Europe.
