Dacia has fully revealed its new petrol-powered Striker crossover and said the Skoda Octavia rival will start from less than £25,000 when it hits the UK in the coming months.

The Striker is a high-riding, 4×4-influenced model that, says Dacia, combines “the qualities of an SUV, estate car and saloon”.

It is Dacia’s second C-segment model after the closely related Bigster SUV. It will be joined by a similarly sized third model – the shape of which has yet to be revealed – in 2027.

Its launch follows a highly successful first two years on sale for the Bigster, which became Europe’s best-selling C-segment SUV in the second half of 2025.

Dacia design director David Durand said the Striker, which has similar dimensions to the Bigster, will provide a “new and complementary response to current automotive expectations”.

The 4.62m-long Striker will “deliver the best value for money in the segment”, said Dacia. Standard equipment on the sub-£25k entry car includes a 10.1in touchscreen, smartphone mirroring, digital gauges, a rearview camera and electric windows all round.

Mid-rung Expression, likely to be around £26k, adds alloy wheels, dual-zone air-con, auto-hold handbrake, electric wing mirrors and USB charging ports in the rear.

Two range-topping trims, Extreme and Journey, are expected to be priced from around £27k. Extreme trim is designed for “the great outdoors”, with washable upholstery and rubber mats. Journey trim targets families with kit such as auto bootlid opening, connected nav and six-speaker surround sound.

The Striker will be offered with two full-hybrid powertrains.
