Dacia Striker FIRST LOOK – The NEW £24k SUV Disruptor!

In our first look at the NEW Dacia Striker, we get up close with Dacia's brand-new 24k family SUV disruptor! Measuring 4.6 metres long, the Striker is a bold crossover that blends the boot space of an estate car with the rugged ground clearance of an SUV.

With a massive 600-litre boot, clever "YouClip" accessories and efficient hybrid engines, is likely to be a better buy than a Skoda Octavia or MG HS? Watch our full reveal review to find out!

In this video, we head to Milan to find out everything you need to know about the 2027 Dacia Striker. The new Striker has a chunky, 4x4-inspired stance with distinctive T-shaped LED headlights, practical roof rails and plenty of plastic cladding. But it's not a pure SUV – its sleek roofline and extended wheelbase mean it's also a rival to estate cars like the Skoda Octavia.

Under the bonnet, there's a choice between two electrified powertrains: the front-wheel-drive Hybrid 155 (which claims to run on electric power for up to 80% of city journeys), and the clever Hybrid 150 4x4, which pairs a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a rear electric motor and five driving modes for better off-road capability.

Inside, the Striker's interior is packed with Dacia's signature simplicity and clever features. We try out the new 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and the innovative head-up driver's display. We also find out how practical this new Dacia is by jumping into the rear seats and taking a look at the 600-litre boot with its modular, wipe-clean floor and hands-free tailgate.

Finally, we run you through the trim levels – from the budget-friendly Essential trim to the more generously equipped Extreme – and discuss why the expected sub-£25,000 starting price could make the Dacia Striker the ultimate family car bargain.
