Design & Looks
The Striker looks like a lifted, longer Sandero. At about 4.6 m it combines the practicality of an estate with the ground‑clearance of the Stepway. Body cladding, higher tyres and a raised suspension give it a ready‑for‑rough‑road vibe, but the interior stays focused on everyday usability – room for kids, gear and a low‑maintenance feel.
Performance & Mileage
Built on Renault Group’s CMF‑B platform, the Striker will share much of the Bigster’s underpinnings. Buyers can choose from mild‑hybrid or full‑hybrid petrol units delivering 128 bhp to 153 bhp. Exact fuel‑economy figures haven’t been released yet, but Dacia promises “efficient” performance aimed at drivers who want a larger car without the SUV’s ostentatious shape.
Price & Rivals
Dacia’s strategy is to undercut mainstream rivals. The Bigster starts around £25,000, well below the Nissan Qashqai (£30k) and Ford Kuga (£34k). The Striker is expected to sit near £20,000 – roughly £5,000 more than a Sandero but still cheaper than a Seat Leon (£27k) or Skoda Octavia estate (£29k). By stripping non‑essential extras, Dacia hopes to keep the list price attractive even as C‑segment hatchbacks have risen in cost.
