NEW BRAND IDENTITY
EXTREME FINISHES FOR THE OUTDOORS
Dacia has previewed the Extreme trim level on Spring at the Brussels Motor Show. Henceforth, the brand’s three other models will feature this finish, permanently replacing the SL Extreme on Jogger and Duster.
For Dacia the outdoors is a way of life: your outdoor adventures and the discoveries you’ll make behind the wheel can only be envisaged with a robust, hard-wearing companion on wheels. The Extreme finish is as close to the outdoor world as you can get. At first glance, you’ll notice the new Cedar Green for Stepway, Jogger and Duster, and Slate Blue for Spring. You’ll notice subtle details like the Gloss Black shark antenna and the model name in Copper Brown. This colour is also used for the mirror caps, wheel centres and the Dacia logo on the boot door. Touches of Copper Brown on the fog lamps blend with the Shiny Black alloy wheels.
Inside, the new grey easy-to-clean MicroCloud fabric features on the dashboard for the first time, boasting greater resistance. This velvet-like material complements the Dacia Link emblem on the front seats. Rubber has been chosen for the floor mats – so they can be cleaned quickly and easily. With these cool but essential touches, Dacia supports its customers who enjoy everyday mini-adventures.
NEW DACIA BRAND IDENTITY
Dacia opens a new chapter in its history with a complete new visual identity. We wanted a simple, bold and essential design, in line with the DNA of the brand. Follow the arrow to this new brand identity that gives a contemporary view on what is essential: authentic people enjoying simple pleasures with their love ones. A journey to discover your essential.
NEW VISUAL IDENTITY FOR THE DACIA NETWORK

THE YOUCLIP REVOLUTION
True to the Dacia spirit, the YouClip system combines simplicity and functionality. It can be used to attach a variety of perfectly calibrated accessories to various strategic locations in the cabin in a robust and secure manner.An ingenious solution that further enhances the practicality and versatility of the brand’s vehicles.
Dacia continues to innovate with the presentation of new YouClip accessories inaugurated by All-new Duster:
– The clever 3-in-1 system combines a cup holder, bag hook and portable lamp.
– A storage pouch and a multimedia tablet holder;
– Four to six integrated mounting points as standard and two additional accessory mounting points that can be attached to the headrest.

STARKLE®: AN ECOLOGICAL, ROBUST AND ELEGANT MATERIAL
Starkle® is a composite material that allows more recycled plastic to be incorporated into the parts and the exterior of our vehicles. The innovation consists in making the material visible while keeping it durable and attractive!
Starkle® is environmentally friendly, consuming fewer resources and requiring no paint. The material is tangible proof to our customers of our contribution to reducing the carbon footprint. It is immediately recognisable with its star-shaped appearance. Extremely robust, its design meets automotive standards on shock resistance, scratches, and UV ageing, and it also facilitates cleaning.
With New Duster, we are aiming for a recycled plastics rate of as much as 20%. We will be extending our use of the new material to more exterior body parts and future accessories.
MANIFESTO AT MUSEE DU LUXEMBOURG
From 13 March to 11 August 2024, Dacia is joining forces with the “MATCH: Design & Sport – A Story Looking to the Future” exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. The exhibition puts the history of the design of sports equipment into perspective relative to the performance of athletes.
As part of the sponsorship initiative, Dacia is exhibiting Manifesto, a unique prototype presaging the vehicle of the future. The prototype’s innovative characteristics reshape our approach to outdoor sports, fully consistent with the scientific and educational goals of the MATCH show.
The sustainable design of Manifesto is adapted to outdoor life. The concept car is a lightweight and agile companion designed for the outdoors, adventure and wide-open spaces. It expresses new directions in the design of a vehicle that is both ecological and economical. The resulting prototype saves on space, weight, energy consumption and money. The vehicle’s design was informed by three key values: essential but cool, robust and outdoor, and eco-smart.

ALL NEW DUSTER
With the arrival of third-generation Duster, Dacia is continuing the saga of its iconic best-seller. Everything is new except the essentials: All-New Duster is still the family SUV boasting the best value-for-money in its category!
– Even more robust and assertive design, reflecting the very essence of the brand;
– Improved off-road capabilities, especially the 4×4 version, for optimum driving off the beaten track;
– More sustainable materials and hybrid engines, for a more eco-smart approach;
All-New Duster is the first Dacia to be powered by the TCe 130 petrol engine, which has an initial level of electrification with 48V mild hybridisation (4×2 and 4×4 versions). It also benefits from the Hybrid 140 engine as well as dual-fuel petrol/LPG on all internal-combustion models, under the ECO-G label.
All-New Duster was launched in March and arrives in the Dacia network in spring 2024.

DACIA NEW SPRING
The New Dacia Spring passes another milestone, taking those qualities that made it a success to the next level, while remaining the most affordable full-electric model on the market.
– Even more attractive than ever with an entirely renewed and more robust design, (see Gallery).
– Yet still as practical with exceptional interior storage space for its segment: 308 litres (1,004 litres with the rear seats folded down). Additional storage (double glove box, door bins, etc.) with an overall volume of nearly 33 litres is also greater than segment standards.
– More versatile than ever with a more accessible 65 hp engine, yet still as efficient thanks to a carefully managed weight (The only full-electric car to weigh less than a tonne !) & an excellent fuel economy on WLTP mixed cycle: 14.6 kWh/100 km (approval pending).
Spring has received many awards. Its energy efficiency and carbon footprint were particularly praised in 2022 when it was given the maximum 5-star rating from the independent European organisation Green NCAP.
Orders for the new Dacia Spring will open in spring 2024.
Market launch is scheduled for summer 2024 !
DACIA WINS TWO ARGUS AWARDS
At the 31st Trophées de l’Argus awards ceremony, held on 23 January 2024 at the Folies Gruss, the Dacia brand won two prestigious prizes.
Dacia Duster was voted New Car of the Year.
Replacing Duster was a real challenge and the award confirms that the third-generation model is more Duster than ever!
New Duster won over the jury with its more adventurous nature, while keeping the same dimensions, together with its technologies, with the arrival of full hybrid and mild hybrid engines, and ever-competitive price. New Duster will boast the best value for money in its SUV segment.
The jury of professionals also applauded the car’s long-standing advantages, including the availability of four-wheel drive and dual-fuel (LPG) versions.
Dacia Sandero won the “Leboncoin” best used car award, the priority this year being on the car that keeps the best residual value on the used-car market.
Unprecedented in the automotive world, this is the first time that a residual value price has been awarded to a manufacturer.
MANIFESTO VOTED “CONCEPT CAR DESIGN OF THE YEAR”
Dacia has started 2024 with a bang. Dacia Manifesto has been voted “Concept Car Design of the Year” by Car Design Review, the leading automotive design website in the UK. The prize is awarded exclusively on votes from car design professionals. This is the first time that Dacia has competed for an award in the highly respected Car Design Review. Dacia Manifesto is designed for outdoor adventure. It is a living lab for applications that are already starting to feature in Dacia vehicles.
Commenting on Dacia’s win, James McLachlan, editor of Car Design News, said: “In the ten years of these awards, Dacia has never previously been a contender for any car category, so to win this year’s Concept Car Design of the Year award is an incredible achievement and shows just how far its design department has come.”
AN ECO-DESIGNED RANGE OF MERCHANDISING
The Dacia range of merchandising includes backpacks, water bottles, caps, and raincoats. Only the essentials to help reconnect with nature, and champion the brand’s values: simplicity, robustness, and authenticity. True to the new brand identity, the range uses recycled materials (raincoats and backpacks made of recycled polyester, caps made of recycled poly-cotton) and sustainable materials (aluminium water bottles).
The entire merchandising range is environmentally friendly at every step of the way, from product design to distribution channels. In fact, the collection will be available in dealerships, in a recycled and recyclable cardboard display that already features other merchandising. Once again, Dacia’s hunt to get rid of everything superfluous applies to its entire value chain.
