Dacia Unveils New Concept Called Hipster That May Very Well Be The Future Of Ultra-Light Affordable EVs

SAUDI ARABIA: Dacia is a well-known brand for making affordable cars, and they’ve just unveiled a new prototype that showcases the brand’s future in light, basic, and affordable electric mobility. Dacia is a part of Renault, and its cars benefit from the Renault-Nissan partnership. The current Hipster prototype takes the design and engineering of what would be the future of affordable electric mobility to the next level.

What’s Known About The Dacia Hipster EV?

The most important and standout feature of the Hipster EV is its tiny dimensions, yet the car boasts four seats suitable for adult passengers. The car weighs just under 800 kg, and it is 3 metres long. The best part about this car is that the dimensions and design choices are not random. The low weight has been intentionally maintained to ensure a small battery is enough to power the car. The brand has also noted that the motors that power the car will also be “sized as needed.” All these factors help keep the cost of the vehicle down without compromising on its functionality. In fact, cutting the mass of the car and materials could halve the car’s total lifecycle impact.

The brand’s target is to price the car under GBP 15,000, which translates to SAR 75,016. Dacia wants to build an everyday mobility solution, so they’re trying to keep features that benefit users without adding too much cost to the car. The car’s tall glass, short overhangs, and boxy shape are strategic, and it creates a car that’s perfect for city driving. The fold-down boot and cabin are designed well, and they offer good enough space for four occupants.

Another interesting feature of the Dacia Hipster is that there’s no infotainment system or complex electronics in the car. This keeps the cost of repair low. So, what happens for infotainment? The car has a simple dock where your phone can go, and it handles all your music, maps, and even works as a digital key for your car.
