Dacia Goes All Out with the “Vanlife” Trend

Far from the clichés of an unconventional lifestyle consisting of living in a car, vanlife is making a strong comeback.

Born in the United States in the 1960s with the hippie movement and the famous Volkswagen camper vans, vanlife embodies a nomadic way of life focused on freedom and escape. This lifestyle has gained popularity across generations, driven by social media and an increasing quest for authenticity. Today, vanlife attracts a diverse audience, from solitary adventurers to families seeking new horizons, accompanied by a surge in products and services dedicated to this philosophy.

Aware of this enthusiasm, Dacia has positioned itself by offering vehicles and accessories adapted to this lifestyle. The brand, known for its rugged and affordable models, will unveil in 2025 an expanded range to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts without sacrificing a minimum of comfort.

For a successful nomadic life

Thus, Dacia offers its Jogger, Duster, and Bigster models equipped with the Sleep Pack. These innovative solutions meet the needs of explorers seeking modularity and comfort. The Sleep Pack is a wooden box fitted to the trunk dimensions, deployable in less than two minutes to provide a double bed (190 cm long, up to 130 cm wide). Practical and removable, it includes a tablet and storage spaces, and can be complemented by blackout shades on the windows to transform the Jogger, Duster, or Bigster into real rooms on wheels.

To expand the living space, a tailgate tent connects to the back of the vehicles, while the Aero Cargo Box trunk mounted on a hitch adds 305 liters of storage. These equipment pieces, designed to facilitate nomadic living, fit perfectly within Dacia’s universe, which champions simplicity and practicality.
