Dacia is considering entering a range of new segments as it expands its line-up in the coming years, with options including a new electric city car, an estate and a Renault Twizy-like urban EV.

Following the recently revealed Bigster crossover, its largest car yet, two new C-segment models are due to be added to the range in the next two years.

Speaking at the Paris motor show, CEO Denis Le Vot remained tight-lipped on what form the pair will take but did clarify that they will be "different bodies, different names, different everything" compared with the existing line-up.

Both cars will be based on the Renault Group's CMF-B modular architecture, which can stretch up to 4.6 metres long, and are highly likely to be offered with hybrid power initially and EV options later down the line.
