Italian SUVs Ready to Steal the Show from Dacia with Cheap and Scary Models
The Italian SUV market is set to take a leap forward with a wide range of new models that could potentially overshadow the popular Dacia brand. With an extensive catalog suitable for all needs, Italian SUVs are ready to conquer the market this autumn.
Previously, the market for low-priced SUVs was dominated by Dacia, particularly the Dacia Duster. However, a local Italian brand is now making waves and establishing itself worldwide, posing a serious threat to Dacia’s dominance. The new SUV models produced in Italy are gaining attention and are expected to make a significant impact.
One brand that is garnering more and more attention is Sportequipe and Ickx. These brands are ready to enrich the range of Italian SUVs. The flagship model of the Molise production house, the Dr 6.0, is set to make a statement. The reference crossover for this model will be the Chinese Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering 154 HP and a torque of 210 Nm.
Another noteworthy model is the Dr 3.0, a 4.17-meter B-SUV that has undergone significant design revisions. It features a 9-inch infotainment system compatible with both Android and Apple CarPlay. The Dr 3.0 is available with a 116 HP petrol engine starting at around 15,000 euros, while the 114 HP petrol and LPG version starts at 20,400 euros.
The upcoming autumn will bring a range of unmissable Italian SUVs. Among them is the Sportequipe 1.0 Ev, an electric city car with a 31 kWh battery and a 61 HP permanent magnet synchronous motor. Priced at around 19,000 euros, it offers a declared range of 250 km.
The Evo series, including models 3, 4, and 5, also deserves attention. The Evo5, a compact SUV measuring 4.32 meters, offers ample space with a trunk capacity of 690 liters. It is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine delivering 136 HP and 210 Nm of torque. The Evo5 comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a dual fuel system (Thermohybrid petrol and LPG) with a starting price of 19,500 euros. Alternatively, the pickup model Cross 4 is available, accommodating 5 passengers and featuring 6 gears. It falls under the N1 category and comes with faux leather seats, a 9-inch touch screen, and a price tag of 24,000 euros.
Sportequipe also offers a 7-seater SUV with a plug-in hybrid system and externally rechargeable batteries. This model, the 8 Hybrid, can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 7 seconds. With a market value of around 30,000 euros, it combines a dual fuel petrol-LPG internal combustion engine.
Lastly, the Ickx K2 is the first traditional diesel model with automatic transmission. Inspired by off-road vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler, it features a removable roof. The Ickx K2 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine delivering 162 HP and 380 Nm of torque. With a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, it comes with 8 gears and a starting price of at least 50,000 euros.
With such a diverse and impressive lineup, Italian SUVs are ready to make their mark in the market and potentially dethrone Dacia as the go-to brand for affordable SUVs. Car enthusiasts and buyers are advised to study the catalog in detail this summer to make an informed decision when these Italian SUVs hit the market in the coming months.
