Deliciously Camp Dacia Hipster Concept Wins 2026 Design of the Year


Darling, clutch your pearls – riding the wave of retro glory, the Dacia Hipster Concept has flunced its way to glittering 2026 ‘Design of the Year’ award, leaving a gaggle of gleaming supercars and posh SUVs choking in its wake. Barely weeks since its debut, this cheeky little three-metre electric delight has already stolen hearts with its refreshingly simple, functional, and fabulously recognisable design. Compact yet clever, practical yet playful, the Hipster is dripping with pure camp, and it’s here to prove that city commuting doesn’t have to be boring.

Chunkily chic inside and out, the subtly flamboyant (yes, that’s a thing) Hipster shows that good design doesn’t need overblown gestures or unnecessary frills. Four proper seats, a flexible boot, and lightweight construction make it a real-world star, while its horizontal front end, strap-style door handles, and recyclable Starkle® body protection give a cheeky nod to style and sustainability. Every detail has purpose, darling, but does it sparkle? Absolutely.

Step inside, and the charm continues: bench-style front seating, vertical glazing, and Dacia’s ‘Bring Your Own Device’ philosophy make the cabin smart, efficient, and cost-effective – with a wink. David Durand, Dacia Design Director, said: “Hipster proves that simplicity and honesty still have the power to sparkle. Good design isn’t about adding more; it’s about focusing on what really matters to real people – with a little flair, of course.”

The Dacia Hipster Concept isn’t just a car; it’s a sassy, sustainable, city-ready electric icon. Practicality meets pizzazz, usability meets style, and essential mobility gets a camp-tastic makeover. Compact, clever, and unapologetically fabulous, Hipster is the EV your city deserves – and darling, your daily commute just got a glittering upgrade.
