Video Summary
The 2025 Dacia Spring is an updated iteration of the brand's entry-level electric vehicle. It aims to bring affordability, efficiency, and practicality to the European market. It’s targeted at urban drivers or those seeking a budget-friendly secondary vehicle.Despite its low price, the 2025 Spring has been refined with thoughtful design tweaks, improved interior quality, and upgraded technology, making it a more appealing choice without departing from Dacia's no-frills ethos.
The exterior boasts a refreshed design language with a Y-shaped LED light signature. The front fascia has been reworked for a more modern and robust look. The car's compact dimensions, under 3.7 meters, make it ideal for city streets and easy parking. The compact design incorporates roof rails, chunky wheel arches, and an increased ride height, giving it a crossover appearance.
It has an electric motor with 45 or 65 horsepower options. The top speed is around 105-125 km/h, suitable for its primary role as an urban runabout. The 65 hp version offers better acceleration.
Its efficiency and range are real highlights, featuring a 26.8-kilowatt battery that delivers an estimated range of 220-230 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. AC charging up to 7.4 kW allows a full charge in 4-5 hours. DC fast charging is available on some trims at 30 kW.
The interior materials are better than before, with textured plastics and color accents. Higher trims include a 10-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital instrument cluster is basic but clear. The vehicle has limited safety features and includes ABS, ESC, front airbags, and a speed limiter.
Overall, the Dacia Spring offers a good value proposition and aims to democratize EV ownership. It is suited for new demographics entering the EV market such as retirees and young families. Its smaller size and fewer raw materials for the batteries make the vehicle an ideal choice for last-mile delivery.
