Dacia is reinventing ‘The People’s car’
The Hipster Concept measures just three metres long, has four proper seats and a boot that can re-adjusted from 70 to 500 litres.
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.
The Concept measures just three metres long, has four proper seats and a boot that can re-adjusted from 70 to 500 litres. Dacia 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 The front seat is a bench seat, the exterior door handle has been replaced by a strap and side windows are sliding.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% than its Spring electric car which means less raw materials and less energy used in manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Aston Martin has introduced the DB12 S, which it says is the boldest evolution of the original Super Tourer DB12 S.
The DB 12 S is the most powerful front-engined, V8-powered, non-hybrid model in its class unleashing 700ps and 800Nm of torque, and capable of 0-100km/h in a blistering 3.4 seconds. Top speed is 202mph.
Features include faster shift times, standard-fit carbon ceramic brakes, and a suite of chassis refinements and aerodynamic enhancements that combine to elevate the car's dynamic character to a whole new level.
