The new Dacia C-Neo model, similar to Audi and Hyundai, a fastback with a modern design, which comes to complete the range of the Romanian brand with a vehicle positioned between Sandero and Duster, will be launched in 2026. It has already been spotted on the streets, a few months before it was officially presented.
The images of the car on the road were “leaked” on the Internet, and the reactions did not take long to appear, being various, from “It looks strange” to “It looks super cool, especially for a Dacia”.

Compared to the Duster model, the new C-Neo will be shorter than the Romanian manufacturer's SUV, but will have a higher ground clearance than a Sandero or a Jogger. The new Dacia C-Neo model would be approximately 4.40 meters long.
The fastback body also has a rather small rear window and positioned rather inclined, compared to the other models of the Romanian manufacturer. It also has many similarities with Audi or Hyundai cars.
The new C-Neo model from Dacia will most likely have a hybrid engine. According to profit.ro, Dacia would opt for an engine from the 1.2 mild-hybrid family with and without LPG, but the new Hybrid 155 engine, of 1.8 liters introduced on the Bigster, could also appear.
It could also get the 1.2 4×4 automatic with 48-volt electric motor that will enter the Bigster and Duster this year.
Also, the new Dacia C-Neo model is to be produced at the Mioveni plant.
