Start with what the Dacia Manifesto is: a 2-door buggy, built from 2022, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to David Durand (design chief).
The story
The Dacia Manifesto is an all-wheel drive electric buggy concept with high ground clearance, officially presented by Dacia on September 16, 2022. Before that, the concept was briefly shown on September 14, 2022 in a teaser published by Dacia Romania on their Facebook page. It was also present at the 2022 Paris Motor Show alongside the rest of the refreshed range.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 2-door buggy. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Its place in the line
The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6, the Tesla Cybertruck. Nearby in the Dacia catalogue sit the Dacia 1100 and the Dacia 1210.
