Enough talking about electricity, 2024 will also rhyme with more traditional innovations: good old 100% gasoline cars or micro-hybridized ones at the limit. Here’s a small selection of the general models we’re most looking forward to and should be arriving soon…

Citroën C3 Aircross

The next C3 Aircross is expected in the spring of 2024, will acquire character and dynamism thanks to a more aggressive look. less plump, the front part will be inspired by the model of the new C3. A straighter profile and highly visible safety boots will allow this to be done champion your adventurous side. On board, and without losing its practicality or modularity, the French language is seriously updated. Finally, Citroën will be available in 100% electric (136 hp) and gasoline 1.2 Pure Tech will be equipped with a mild hybridization of 48 V (136 hp).

Dacia Duster

Taking advantage of the CMF-B platform already used in the Sandero and Jogger, star crossover will improve its appearance. Keeping the current dimensions (4.35 m) and main characteristics (massive profile, “air box” on the front doors, rear glass, etc.), Duster will become more significant and sporty “copying” his big brother Bigster. Giving up the diesel, but remaining faithful to LPG (1.0 Eco-G 100 hp), it also benefits from 1.2 microhybrid 48 V (130 hp) and the 140 hp 1.6 E-Tech hybrid already available on the Jogger. And even if the bill continues to increase, the Romanian will remain the best deal in its category.

Dacia Bigster

4.60 long and able to accommodate up to seven people, Bigster will allow Dacia to enter the segment of family crossovers. A technical clone of the next Duster, will take the platform and blocks from which microhybrid 1.2 48V with a capacity of 130 hp. On the other hand, it alone will have a 160-horsepower hybrid unit (also supplied by Renault), a first for the manufacturer. As for appearance, Bigster will play a strong adventurer with an aggressive and massive style. The future flagship of the brand, but it will be presented at “lighter” prices than competitors (Peugeot 5008, Renault Espace).

Fiat Tipo

To replace the current Tipo sedan, the Italian manufacturer will focus on SUVs, an important segment today. Approximately 4.50m long, this crossover will benefit from the organ bank of the Stellantis group. So, it will be based on the new STLA Medium platform (evolution of e-CMP, which is already widely used in the group). And we will find it under the hood micro-hybrid gasoline unit with a capacity of 136 hp and another, 100% electric, with a capacity of 156 hp. So many elements already proven by other models in the group, which will keep prices below the €30,000 mark…

Restyled Renault Captur

The current second generation of Captur will receive a traditional medium restyling. Then it should use some Australian codes on the front end (grille, new Renault logo) and could get a 1.2 unit with a capacity of 130 hp with soft hybridization 48 V (opened Austral). There is also talk of a new version of the coupe, which may soon see the light of day…
