Romanian brand Dacia plans to launch a new C-Class model earlier than the long-awaited Bigster crossover. This was reported by the publication Motors Actu with reference to Patrice Levy-Benchetton, director of the brand's products.

The innovation, currently known by the C-Neo factory code, will be a five-door car with a raised body that combines the characteristics of both a station wagon and a sedan. The C-Neo is expected to compete with the likes of the Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla and Opel Astra.

Dacia CEO Denis Le Vot said the company will no longer be shy about pricing. He added that customers who turn to Dacia are no longer looking for the car with the lowest price on the market. The buyer comes for a car with the most necessary options and a good price-quality ratio.

According to Motors Actu, the presentation of the Dacia C-Neo could take place in the second half of 2024, but these dates have not yet been officially confirmed. It is worth noting that so far no test prototypes of the future model have been spotted. As for the Dacia Bigster crossover, it is expected to hit the market no earlier than 2025.
