Launch line-up of Dacia Spring EV confirmed

12 March 2024

Set to be known as the UK's 'cheapest EV' the Dacia Spring will launch this Autumn(!) with a three trim line-up

Dacia has confirmed the launch line-up of its Spring electric car, set to be known as the UK's cheapest new electric car.

With first deliveries expected from Autumn 2024, drivers can pick from an uncomplicated line-up of three trim levels with two power outputs. Bucking the trend for larger, heavier and more expensive batteries, the Dacia Spring features a 26.8 kWh battery across the range, which provides a WLTP range of 137 miles on a full charge. We expect that to translate to a real-world figure of around the 100 mile mark.

The entry level trim is known as Expression, available in either 45 hp or 65 hp power outputs and you'll find a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, real parking sensors and electric front windows. Upgrading to the Extreme trim, only available with the 65 hp power output, adds a touch more luxury with a 10-inch central screen, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto compatibility, and even V2L technology.

Spring has played a key part in widespread adoption of EVs across Europe and, with a price that is even lower than speculated, we’re confident it will continue the success story in the UK. We have listened to the concerns of UK drivers regarding accessing EVs, ensuring it not only has an unprecedented price but affordability that doesn’t come at the expense of durability, equipment or usability
