DACIA STRIKER MANUFACTURED IN TÜRKİYE TAKES THE WORLD STAGE

Dacia unveiled its new dynamic crossover, Striker, at the Paris Motor Show to strengthen its presence in the C-segment. Manufactured at OYAK Renault Automobile Factories, the model marks the final step in the €400 million investment plan OYAK and Renault Group announced at the end of 2023.

Set to be exported from Türkiye to markets worldwide, particularly Europe, the Striker emerged as a significant attempt to elevate Türkiye’s position within Renault Group’s international manufacturing network. With the model's production, Türkiye will become the Dacia Striker’s sole global manufacturing hub.

Combining an SUV's high driving position and robustness with a station wagon's spacious interior and versatility and a sedan's dynamic design, the Striker brings a fresh perspective to the crossover concept. The 4.62-meter-long model offers a wide range of uses, from everyday family life to long-distance journeys, with its spacious interior, boot capacity of up to 602 liters, and a design tailored to diverse purposes.

Striker's product lineup comes with three engine options: Mild Hybrid-G 140, Hybrid 155, and Hybrid 150 4x4. The Mild Hybrid-G 140 combines gasoline/LPG dual-fuel technology with a mild-hybrid system and is paired with an efficient 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for customers seeking extended range and economical use. While the Hybrid 155 merges performance and efficiency, the Hybrid 150 4x4 delivers four-wheel-drive capability for a variety of road and terrain conditions.

With its multi-energy powertrain options and aerodynamic design, the Dacia Striker intends to offer a competitive total cost of ownership (TCO) in the C-segment. The Hybrid 155 engine option, with CO₂ emissions starting at 95 g/km and fuel consumption as low as 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers, promotes the model’s focus on efficiency and economical driving.

All engine options of the Dacia Striker are expected to be eligible for sales exempt from Special Consumption Tax (SCT). The new Dacia Striker, manufactured in Türkiye, is scheduled to go on sale in Türkiye in December 2026.

Dacia also held a world premiere at the Paris Motor Show for the new Spring. Produced in Europe, the second-generation Spring remains committed to making electric mobility more accessible and marks the first step toward Dacia's expanding electric vehicle family.
