Best new Dacia cars coming soon
Good news, Dacia is expanding its wallet-friendly range even more, with cars both big and small arriving soon

It’s almost hard to believe that Dacia only arrived in the UK back in 2013, when it was offering the Dacia Sandero for just £5,995 and we were first introduced to the Dacia Duster. Since then, the brand has sold more than 250,000 cars in Britain alone, established a reputation for making affordable, great-value cars, and now has a line-up of five different models. But excitingly, there’s still more to come.
Below are all the key new model launches we know are taking place in 2025, 2026 or in the near future...
Dacia Bigster

The Dacia Bigster is the brand’s eagerly anticipated first crack at a mid-size SUV, meaning it’s going up against best-sellers such as the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. However, the Duster’s bigger brother manages to undercut them both, and so many others in its class, with an astonishing starting price of £24,995. Yet Dacia has worked hard to provide the level of refinement, space and equipment that customers expect from a family SUV, and among the highlights are large dual displays and a panoramic sunroof (another first for Dacia).
We were hugely impressed by the amount of space inside the Bigster when we got to look around it last year, plus the enormous 667-litre boot is way larger than you’ll find in any of its key rivals. The engine line-up consists of a mild-hybrid petrol, available with front or four-wheel drive, and an all-new full-hybrid powertrain that can return up to 57.6mpg and allows for pure-electric driving around town. The Hybrid 155 set-up is front-drive only for the moment, but will also be available with four-wheel drive by the end of the year.

Dacia C-Neo

The ‘C-Neo’ is Dacia’s internal name for a new C-segment hatchback that the brand could pit against hugely important cars like the Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf. We know it’ll use the same CMF-B platform as the Bigster, suggesting it’ll also get the same engine options, and that it’s one of two new models Dacia will launch in the C-segment of the market soon. But otherwise very little is known about the car right now.

Dacia Duster

The reigning Auto Express Small SUV of the Year, the Dacia Duster is a fantastic-looking car, with an interior that’s just as bold, and features a revised infotainment system including a new 10.1-inch touchscreen. And yet, prices start from under £19,000 – only slightly more than the model it replaced.
The Duster comes as standard with a simple three-cylinder, 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, boosted by a 48V mild-hybrid starter-generator. This TCe 130 engine is paired with a six-speed manual, but is offered with the choice of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Meanwhile the Duster Hybrid 140 uses a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, plus an electric motor and a small battery that allows it to spend up to 80 per cent of the time driving around town in EV mode. The Duster Hybrid is also getting the option of four-wheel drive soon.

Dacia Spring

After years of deliberation, the Dacia Spring has finally come to Britain and it starts at £14,995. That makes it the cheapest full-blown electric car on sale in the UK, and the second cheapest EV on four wheels behind the Citroen Ami quadricycle. In fact, the Dacia Spring competes directly on price with petrol-powered city cars like the Hyundai i10, although it even manages to undercut that by nearly £1,000.
The Spring is a 3.7-metre-long electric city car with an official range of 137 miles, but can cover up to 186 miles on a single charge if you’re just pottering around town. Its styling and interior are inspired by the latest Duster, with material quality also receiving a boost over the model that has been sold in Europe for some time.

Dacia Spring successor

That’s right – even though the Dacia Spring has only just arrived in the UK, work is already under way on a new, affordable A-segment EV that will serve as its successor. The as-yet-unnamed baby EV will be based on the reborn Renault Twingo – another cut-price electric city car coming soon – will cost less than €18,000 (under £15,000 at the current exchange rate) and will be developed in just 16 months, meaning it’ll be ready to hit the streets next summer. Importantly, Dacia’s new entry-level EV will be built in Europe, so it can avoid the tariffs being imposed on electric cars produced in China.
