Video Summary
Here's a summary of the Dacia Spring electric car review:- Likely to be the cheapest electric car on the market.
- Price may start from as low as €17,000.
- Extreme model: most powerful electric motor at 65 horsepower.
- Could still sneak in under €20,000.
- Underlying platform is the same as the original Spring model, which was only sold in left-hand drive.
- Bodywork is all-new.
- Lightweight at under a ton, even for the fully equipped model.
- Small 15-inch wheels, making the car more economical.
- Body parts, like the bumper and front wheel arch are colored within the mold to reduce scratches and need for repair.
- Interior is well-appointed: the extreme model has a 10-inch screen and digital display behind the steering wheel.
- The front bumper graphic can be swapped out for something else.
- 308L boot and a frunk can provide another 35 liters of storage.
- Practical but interior space is tight in the backseats.
- A standard 7-kilowatt charging system is included, but a 30kW DC fast-charging system is an extra cost.
- Steering has a light weight to it and is aimed towards city driving with a small turning circle.
- A 0-100 km/h time is in the realm of 13.7 seconds.
- Dacia claims that the existing Spring owners drive 37 km per day, with the car charging up at home for 11 hours.
- Is best suited for city driving.
