Renault Group has officially unveiled the new Dacia Striker estate, which will become the most affordable alternative to the Skoda Octavia Combi and Volkswagen Golf Variant in the European C-segment. The public debut of the new model will take place in October at the Paris Motor Show, and the starting price will be less than 25,000 euros. This is reported by the official Dacia website.

Dacia Striker has become the largest estate in the brand's history

With the arrival of the Striker, the Romanian brand returns to the C-segment for the first time since the end of Dacia 1310 production in 2004. The new model is built on the CMF-B platform, which is also used by the Duster and Bigster.

The estate's dimensions are 4620 mm in length, 1824 mm in width, and 1541 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2704 mm. Ground clearance depends on the modification and ranges from 190 to 200 mm.

The car features the signature design with a narrow radiator grille, L-shaped LED headlights, protective plastic body cladding, and a rear spoiler. Base versions come with 17-inch wheels, while more expensive ones get 18-inch wheels.

Renault Dacia Striker will be offered only with hybrid powertrains

The interior uses the familiar architecture from the Duster and Bigster. Equipment includes a digital instrument cluster, a multimedia system with a 10.1-inch display, spacious storage compartments, and the proprietary YouClip mounting system. The trunk volume is 600 liters.

Standard equipment includes air conditioning, a rearview camera, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, as well as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and driver fatigue monitoring systems.

The powertrain lineup consists exclusively of hybrid versions. Customers will be offered a 1.2-liter mild hybrid with 140 or 150 hp. The front-wheel-drive version is available with factory-installed LPG equipment, while the all-wheel-drive version gets hill descent assist and driving modes for different surface types.

The range also includes a full hybrid with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors with a combined output of 155 hp. The average fuel consumption of this modification is claimed to be less than 5 liters per 100 km.
