Dacia is set to launch the Striker, a crossover with hybrid and LPG engines, distinctive styling, and a price below 25000 euros. The model targets families seeking value and versatility, arriving in Spanish dealerships later this year.
Spanish families looking for a new car will soon have another option. Dacia is bringing the Striker, a crossover that goes straight for the heart of the family segment. The price? Less than 25000 euros. The Striker is set to arrive in Spanish dealerships in the last quarter of the year. Dacia wants to undercut the competition. The company is betting that the same buyers who made the Sandero a top seller across Europe will take notice. Several independent automotive publications say this pricing is a direct answer to the rising cost of hybrid and electric family cars in the C-segment. Dacia wants to keep things affordable for Spanish families.
The Striker is not just another sedan. Its body measures 4.62 meters, making it five centimeters longer than the Dacia Bigster. That means more space and a bigger presence on the road. The exterior stands out with a strong shape, a new lighting signature, and T-shaped taillights joined by a glossy black bar with the Dacia name. This look is more than just style. Dacia says the Striker brings the energy of a hatchback, the usefulness of a two-box car, and the ground clearance of an SUV. Leading industry sources confirm Dacia officially revealed the Striker in summer 2026. Sales start in autumn.
Production of the Dacia Striker will take place at the Renault/Dacia plant in Bursa, Turkey, marking a strategic shift from the traditional Mioveni facility.
The name Striker fits Dacia’s pattern. Think Duster, Jogger, Bigster. The brand likes the punchy “ER” ending. Dacia also points to bowling, where a strike knocks down all the pins. The message is clear. Dacia wants this car to break the old rules.
Underneath, the Striker shares its platform with the Duster and Bigster. That opens the door to several engine choices. Full specs are still secret, but Dacia has confirmed both petrol and hybrid versions. There will be a standard hybrid, likely with 155 horsepower. A hybrid all-wheel-drive version is also planned, with about 150 horsepower. An LPG-powered model is coming too. Dacia’s multi-energy plan is aimed at families who want efficiency and flexibility. Independent reports say the hybrid range will include a mild hybrid-G 140 (petrol/LPG), a Hybrid 155, and a Hybrid 150 4x4. The 4x4 will use an electric motor on the rear axle for all-wheel drive.
Spanish buyers have been waiting for an affordable electrified car. The Striker’s starting price, under 25000 euros, stands out. Most new hybrids and EVs cost much more. This echoes what happened when the Hyundai IONIQ 3 and Polestar 5 hit Spanish showrooms, as reported earlier. Several automotive analysts say Dacia is taking on pricier hybrid and electric family cars head-on. The goal is to make electrified cars in the C-segment available to more people.
Dacia Sandero has maintained its position as one of the best-selling cars in Spain and across Europe for several years, which explains why the new Striker is specifically targeting the family and price-sensitive segment.
Dacia’s plan is simple. Offer a family crossover with tough looks, practical features, and a price that beats most rivals. The Striker’s launch will show if Spanish drivers are ready for a new kind of value in the hybrid age. The Sandero’s success says they might be. Dacia is betting the Striker will change what families expect from a car. No need to give up price or utility.
