Dacia claims its lightweight electric Hipster Concept ‘reinvents The People’s car’ as it is designed for everyday use and offering sufficient range for daily journeys with two recharges per week, writes Trish Whelan.
The concept measures just 3 metres long, has four proper seats and a boot that can readjusted from 70 to 500 litres. Dacia people describe its simple design as a block sitting firmly on four wheels at the four corners with no overhang front or rear.

The concept is designed with one body colour and just three painted parts: the front and the side door entry elements. The front seat is a bench seat, the exterior door handle replaced by a strap and side windows are sliding. Your smartphone in its docking station acts as a multimedia screen and serves as the car’s audio system. The tailgate opens in two parts to provide ultra-practical access to the boot.
Hipster Concept is 20 per cent lighter than its Spring electric car which means less raw materials and less energy used in manufacturing.
