Dacia‘s New โC-Neoโข Fastback โฃSpotted in Testing, Launching 2026
MIOVENI,โ Romania – Prototype images of Dacia’s forthcoming C-Neo model have surfaced online, โrevealingโข a fastback design positioned between the Sandero and Duster in the โขRomanian brand’s lineup. The vehicle, anticipated for a 2026 release, has sparked diverse reactions,โข ranging from criticism โฃof its unconventional appearance to praise for its modern styling-particularly for a โDacia.
The C-Neo โaims to โfill a gap in Dacia’s portfolio, offering a new body style and potentiallyโ attractingโ customers seeking a vehicle that blends SUV-like ground clearance with a moreโ streamlined profile. Production is slated for Dacia’s Mioveni plant. Theโข model’s arrival โisโ significant as Daciaโ continues to expand its range and โคappeal to a broader customer base with increasingly sophisticated designs and technology.
Measuring approximately 4.40 meters inโ length, the C-Neo will be shorter than the Duster โbutโ boast greater ground clearance than the Sandero or Jogger. Spy shots indicate a smaller, steeply angled rear โwindow and styling cues โreminiscent of Audi and Hyundaiโฃ vehicles.
dacia is expected to offer a hybrid โpowertrain with the โขC-Neo, potentially utilizing the 1.2 mild-hybrid engine family-with and without โขLPG compatibility-or the larger 1.8-liter Hybrid 155 engine currentlyโ featured in the Bigster. A 1.2 4×4 automatic with a 48-volt electric motor, planned for the Bigster and Duster, is also a possibility.
