Expansion Dacia has had a good year. So good, in fact, that it already dares to look ahead to what it will be up to this year. A lot, because Dacia is introducing no fewer than two new models this year. The Dacia family, which already consists of the Spring, Sandero, Jogger, Duster, and Bigster,

Last summer, Volkswagen unveiled the second T-Roc after 8 years. It has grown especially in length and is currently only available as a mild hybrid. The current, third generation Mini Countryman arrived in 2023 and is even a size larger than the T-Roc. Also a mild hybrid, also a 1.5-liter with a 7-speed automatic transmission,
