Dacia unveils second-generation Spring electric vehicle

Dacia has unveiled the second generation of its Spring electric vehicle, marking a strategic shift by moving production from China to the Renault Group plant in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. This transition aims to ensure eligibility for European government subsidies and avoid EU tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles.

The new model is built on the Renault Group’s RG-EV Small platform, which it shares with the Renault Twingo. Compared to the first generation, the new Spring is significantly larger, measuring 3.85 meters in length and 1.74 meters in width. It features a more robust design and an improved interior, including a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an optional 10.1-inch touchscreen.

Technical specifications include an 80 hp (60 kW) electric motor and a 27.5 kWh LFP battery, providing a range of up to 250 km under the WLTP cycle. The vehicle is expected to maintain its position as an affordable option, with prices starting below €20,000. This model is the first of four fully electric vehicles Dacia plans to launch by 2030.
