As part of its ongoing mission to make electric mobility accessible to all, Renault’s Dacia sub-brand has unveiled the Hipster Concept. The ultra-compact four-seater EV measures 3 000 mm in length, 1 530 mm in height, and 1 550 mm wide. The boot offers up to 500 litres of luggage space, the French firm claims. Though, the latter decreases to 70 litres when all four seats are occupied. The Hipster Compact weighs 20% less than the electric Renault Kwid, also known as the Dacia Spring. The company claims the Hipster Concept is suitable for everyday life and will only need to be charged twice a week – the firm referencing that most French drivers travel less than 38 km per day.
The front facia houses a set of horizontal headlamps, while the taillamps are positioned behind the rear glass and tailgate – the latter opened in two parts for added practicality. Conventional door handles have been replaced with straps.
The Hipster Concept is exclusively available in one colour. The design study is finished in the French marque’s ‘Starkle’ recycled material, while the front and rear skid plates are dyed.

Dacia has whipped the wraps off the Hipster Concept, and the firm is calling it the ‘popular electric car of tomorrow’.
As part of its ongoing mission to make electric mobility accessible to all, Renault’s Dacia sub-brand has unveiled the Hipster Concept. The ultra-compact four-seater EV measures 3 000 mm in length, 1 530 mm in height, and 1 550 mm wide. The boot offers up to 500 litres of luggage space, the French firm claims.

Peeking through the Hipster Concept’s sliding windows, the front pews come in the shape of a single bench, with the passenger side able to tilt forward to allow access to the rear items. The minimalistic interior combines a visible frame with mesh fabric. The cabin also features 11 YouClip anchor points for accessories, such as cupholders, lights, or armrests. Navigation and media are operated via a smartphone, instead of a conventional infotainment screen, and a Bluetooth speaker acts as the car’s sound system. The Hipster Concept also goes without a traditional key fob, with the owner’s smartphone serving as a digital key to unlock/lock and start the vehicle.
