Dacia Spring and Jogger Shine in EcoCar Awards: A Double Triumph for Dacia
The automotive world is abuzz as the All-New Dacia Spring has been recognized as the ‘Most Eagerly Awaited Electrified Car of 2024’ in the prestigious EcoCar Electrified Top 50. Adding to the celebration, the seven-seat Dacia Jogger secured the top spot in the ‘Best Hybrid Estate Car’ category.
With the pure-electric supermini set to hit UK showrooms later this year, excitement is mounting. Already, over 300 eager car buyers have placed their orders in less than a month since the announcement. The All-New Dacia Spring, which can now be officially ordered online via www.dacia.co.uk or through any official retailer, is available from just £169 per month on a 3.9% APR representative PCP offer*. This makes it the UK’s most affordable new electric car, priced from only £14,995 on the road.
The All-New Dacia Spring has generated significant buzz, earning the title of the EV that “has created the biggest buzz” after being named the ‘Most Eagerly Awaited Electrified Car of 2024’ in the EcoCar Electrified Top 50. Its predecessor, introduced in 2021, became one of Europe’s best-selling EVs, praised for democratizing electric car ownership across the continent.
Since opening for orders on June 4th, the All-New Dacia Spring has captured the attention of UK car buyers. The recent introduction of finance offers has further fueled enthusiasm, with the five-door hatchback available for £169 per month on a 3.9% APR representative*, four-year Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) deal, requiring a customer deposit of £2,325.
Ian Robertson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel&EcoCar, which organizes the annual awards, shared his thoughts on why the All-New Dacia Spring is the most sought-after EV of 2024: “British buyers have envied other European markets that have had access to the first-generation Spring since 2021. After much anticipation, we can finally experience the enhanced version of this pure electric city car. With prices starting at just £14,995, it’s the most affordable electric car in the UK, and October can’t come soon enough. Our readers are buzzing with excitement and questions about this model.”
Luke Broad, Brand Director of Dacia UK, echoed the sentiment: “There’s a growing demand for affordable electric cars in the UK, and the All-New Dacia Spring meets that need perfectly. We are thrilled by the interest and can’t wait for its arrival. This model has the potential to be a game-changer in the EV market.”
