Here’s your first look at the sub-£22k hybrid and LPG Dacia Striker

This is the new Dacia Striker. We know it to be a C-segment crossover that straddles the worlds of the humble estate car, hatchback and SUV, because that’s what Dacia has told us.

We also know it to be a crossover that’ll come with a few different drivetrains, like a hybrid version, a hybrid version with four-wheel-drive, and one powered by LPG, because that’s what Dacia has told us.

And now we know it to be a… good-looking car, because we can see the entire thing and not a close-up image of its nameplate which Dacia told us about last week. We do not know much more than this, because the Striker will be really really revealed in full in June 2026.

Dacia reckons on a starting price below €25,000 in Europe – around £21.6k – which gives you what it reckons is a “disruptive” silhouette and “strong aerodynamic efficiency”. There are daytime running lights, a panoramic roof, and… that’s about all we can ascertain from these launch images.

It’ll be a core part of Dacia’s next step, alongside the Bigster, and is one of a raft of new cars that’ll power the carmaker into the future. Including a little one – Dacia said it wants to launch four full EVs by 2030, including a city car spun off the Renault 5’s AmpR Small platform, and weighing in at under €18k.

The next-gen Dacia Sandero will also come with a “multi-energy powertrain range”, too.

More as we get it.
