Dacia has fully revealed the Striker, a raised estate pitched as a budget-friendly alternative to mainstream wagons like the Skoda Octavia Combi. It shares the CMF-B platform with the Bigster SUV, and reaches customers before the end of 2026.
Three powertrains, no plug-in
The lineup opens with the Mild Hybrid-G 140, a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that can also run on LPG, with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance and 140 hp. It pairs with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic, driving the front wheels.
The Hybrid 155 moves to a full hybrid setup: a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and an electric motor, backed by a small 1.4 kWh battery, for 155 hp and front-wheel drive. At the top of the range, the Hybrid 150 4x4 adds a rear electric motor to a 1.2-litre turbo engine for all-wheel drive, with 150 hp and a top speed of 140 km/h. None of the three is a plug-in hybrid.
Equipment and pricing
Adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital instrument display, air conditioning and roof rails come standard. Higher trims add dual-zone climate control, a powered tailgate, Arkamys 3D audio, wireless phone charging, a larger 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a fixed panoramic glass roof.
Dacia opens ordering in autumn 2026, with prices starting under €25,000 (about $27,000). For comparison, a hybrid Skoda Octavia Combi starts from €31,740 (about $34,300) in Germany, underscoring how far under the mainstream estate segment Dacia is pricing the Striker.
