The Dacia Manifesto is an all-wheel drive electric buggy concept with high ground clearance, officially presented by Dacia on September 16, 2022.[5]

Before that, the concept was briefly shown on September 14, 2022 in a teaser published by Dacia Romania on their Facebook page.[6] It was also present at the 2022 Paris Motor Show alongside the rest of the refreshed range.[7]

Overview

The model bears the brand's new emblem, which is here illuminated.[8] The body is made from a recycled plastic called Starkle and has no doors, side windows or windshield.[9] The vehicle, including the interior, are 100% waterproof.[10] The concept will not become a production model and, as the representatives of the company say, it is a "laboratory for the implementation of the newest ideas".[11]
