The Dacia revealed the Manifesto concept as an indication of its future potential, which has a variety of advancements in terms of convenience.

We’re looking forward to a world where electric cars come in all forms and sizes, from enormous, sleek grand tourers to little off-road adventure vehicles. Dacia, the Renault Group’s low-cost automobile brand, will debut the Manifesto mobile design lab at the Paris Motor Show next month. A little, mighty-looking two-seater that’s sharp and ready for the outdoors. The concepts that may or may not make it into future manufacturing cars.

Dacia describes its ‘lab for ideas’ as ‘necessary but cool, sturdy, built for outdoor activities, and sensible from an economic and environmental aspect. What it isn’t is a sneak peek at any specific impending production model. Dacia intended the Manifesto to exhibit a variety of design possibilities instead of a single automobile. This means that they may never produce this buggy in its current form.

The Manifesto appears to be something out of an apocalyptic sci-fi film. Dacia created this vehicle to enable its driver and passengers to make connections with the outdoors. As a result, the tiny warship is only 12 feet, but it still has space for four people. Allowing you to enjoy your environment and everything they have to offer.

The Manifesto looks more like a rugged dune buggy or space explorer than a typical car, as it lacks doors and even a windshield. According to Dacia, we can remove the seat covers and transform them into sleeping bags. You should be able to put them in the washer and even jet-wash the inside without causing any problems.

Aside from that, the Manifesto includes large seats with enough seatbelts for intense off-roading. Airless tires are one of the Manifesto features that Dacia is actively developing into production. The tires are puncture resistant and built to survive the entire life of the car.

Instead of individual headlamps, a row of LEDs positioned over the front bumper provides the Dacia Manifesto’s front lighting. There is also a new DC emblem in the center. It also features a single lamp that we can use as a flashlight when removed. As a result, the buggy appears to be ready to travel in harsh off-road situations at night.

Dacia has not disclosed how much juice the battery can store or the capabilities of the concept’s electric motors. While the Manifesto is doubtful about going into production. That said, it may influence the styling of Dacia’s next-generation Duster SUV, which is presently driven by a choice of petrol and diesel engines.

The Dacia also emphasized the dependability and robustness of its vehicles. Dacia states that it will strengthen its status as a product line targeted at providing people with outdoor fun. It’s tough, has a high ride, and is enjoyable to drive. It has, however, been designed in such a way that it is both economical and environmentally friendly.

Not only that, but it has body panels constructed of Starkle, a novel material that contains 20% recycled plastic without losing strength. Furthermore, it will be available on all upcoming Dacia models, beginning with the new Duster.

Its ultra-lightweight construction also allows it to travel farther on an electric charge than most EVs. To maintain its low prices, Dacia must adhere to this lightweight strategy, and it will continue to use this tactic in the future. As a result of just requiring the bare minimum of technology, lighter cars emit fewer pollutants and can be more affordable.

The concept automobile makes use of Dacia’s “Bring-Your-Own-Device” strategy for infotainment. In which the user’s smartphone serves as the tablet computer. Basically, everything is easily controlled by your smartphone, which reduces challenges and costs.

The new “YouClip” from the firm, shown within the Manifesto. We may use the Dacia Media Control software on the driver’s smartphone by attaching it to the dashboard in place of an infotainment screen. The function intends to make simpler interior controls on all upcoming cars from Dacia. They will equip the following Dacia Duster with this feature. For controlling the climate and other features, physical buttons will still be available. Furthermore, Dacia is considering a strategy that would allow customers to 3D print their own accessories.

In order to improve our brand promise, we want to develop a line of products that focuses on the necessities and customizes our cars for outdoor activities, according to Lionel Jaillet, Director of Product Performance at Dacia. Along with developing new models, we are also developing cutting-edge features that more closely suit the needs and lifestyles of our clients.
