About the Dacia Spring
The 2024 Dacia Spring represents a significant mid-life update for the budget EV, introducing a more rugged 'Duster-inspired' design and a completely overhauled interior. In Expression trim, it serves as the entry point for the UK market, prioritising essential utility over luxury. Despite its modest 45 PS output and 26.8 kWh battery, its featherweight sub-1,000kg mass makes it remarkably efficient for urban commuting. It remains one of the few genuine A-segment electric cars, focusing on affordability and simplicity in an increasingly expensive market.
