Dacia’s new roof awning folds out from the roof bars in minutes, giving drivers a 3x3 metre shelter without a van or a big spend. It offers a simple way to camp wherever they stop, with just a car and a plan to get outside.
Part of Dacia’s InNature range, the awning is designed for people who want to leave the city and camp wherever they stop. Setup is simple: clip it to the roof bars and extend the telescopic poles to create a covered spot for meals and downtime, with protection from the weather. The awning requires no permanent changes to the car and uses 40% recycled material, reflecting the brand’s focus on practical, sustainable gear.
The setup is temporary and modular, with no full camper conversion required. Put the awning on when you need it and take it off when you don’t, leaving the car ready for everyday use. The Sandero Stepway has now joined the InNature lineup, allowing more Dacia owners to use the add-ons, provided their car has roof bars.
Dacia also sells the Pack Sleep, a foldable double bed that fits in the back. It is a removable 3-in-1 module that unfolds into a 190 × 130 cm bed, costs €1,590 and is compatible with Jogger, Duster and Bigster models. When not in use for sleeping, it works as a tray table and keeps storage space open, handy for last-minute trips or festival weekends.
Small features count too. The YouClip system lets users attach extras such as a sunglasses holder or a shopping bag made from 100% recycled material, keeping things tidy and close at hand. Dacia Germany’s official materials also describe a dedicated awning/tent in the InNature range, measuring 210 × 220 cm, designed for two to three people and weighing 8.6 kg. Dacia’s approach is to use what you need and keep things simple.
The new awning adds options for sleeping in the car or eating outdoors, without turning a Dacia into a full camper van. The covered space provides shade and privacy on hot days or at busy events.
María Maroto, Dacia Spain’s Director of After-Sales and Quality, put it this way: “With InNature, we turn the vehicle into a true base camp, offering smart solutions that make it easier to enjoy a getaway, a festival, or an impromptu trip.” Drivers can stop and set up shelter quickly. That adds flexibility to a trip.
Other carmakers are also pursuing versatility. Hyundai’s Tucson, as previously reported, is focused on space and flexibility. Dacia takes a different approach, centred on simplicity and price, for drivers who want useful gear without the cost of a full camper.
Modularity and ease of use are the focus. Dacia wants its cars to handle both workdays and weekends, with the awning, Pack Sleep and YouClip accessories forming a toolkit for flexible travel. The setup offers options without requiring a particular lifestyle. The classic camper van remains a different proposition, while these accessories can make outdoor living easier for anyone curious about life on the road.
