Dacia may launch Hipster electric vehicle in 2027 — Motor1
Dacia may launch a production version of the compact Hipster electric vehicle on the UK market in 2027 at an estimated price of £9,500. At the same time, the project has not yet received final approval from Renault Group management, and the manufacturer has not officially confirmed plans for mass production.
L7e-class urban electric vehicle
As Motor1 reports, the production model may belong to the L7e category of light vehicles. Its regulations provide for a weight of up to 450 kg excluding the battery, continuous rated power of up to 15 kW, and a maximum speed of up to 90 km/h.
The Dacia Hipster concept was unveiled on October 6, 2025. It is a four-seat electric city car measuring 3 m long, 1.55 m wide, and 1.53 m high. At the time of its premiere, Dacia described it only as a concept and did not announce production plans.

Dacia design director David Durand expects that the final production version could be presented in 2027. At the same time, he noted that the project requires approval from the company’s management. According to him, plastic body panels, such as those used on the Citroën Ami, would suit the car, although they are more expensive than conventional steel ones.
Possible production in China
According to the publication, the Hipster may be manufactured in Shiyan, China, at the plant where the first-generation Dacia Spring was produced. Dacia’s senior vice president of global sales, marketing and operations, Frank Marotte, supports keeping the facility operational, citing competitive production costs and the plant’s innovative capabilities.
The plant’s annual capacity is up to 45,000 vehicles for Renault Group. The Hipster is also reported to have a battery with a capacity of about 15 kWh, a 70-litre trunk with all four seats in place, and up to 500 litres with the rear row folded down. These specifications, as well as the project itself, have not yet been officially confirmed by Dacia.
