Dacia has ushered in a new era of electric mobility in the UK with the delivery of the first All-New Dacia Spring to Hampshire resident John Davies. As a first-time electric car owner, Davies collected his Dusty Khaki-finished Spring in Extreme trim from Martins Dacia in Basingstoke, marking a significant milestone for both the brand and its customers.
“I was really keen to get an electric car and had complete trust in Dacia,” said Davies, who ordered the Spring in June. An enthusiastic supporter of the brand, this marks his third Dacia purchase from Martins Dacia, following a Sandero Stepway and his current Duster, which he plans to replace with an All-New Duster later this year. “The Spring is perfect for commuting to work and will make my journeys cheaper,” he added.
A Game-Changer for Electric Mobility
Priced from just £14,995 on-the-road, the All-New Dacia Spring is the UK’s most affordable new electric vehicle (EV). Combining compact efficiency with everyday practicality, the Spring is powered by a choice of 45 hp or 65 hp electric motors and a 26.8 kWh battery, delivering a driving range of up to 140 miles (WLTP mixed) or 186 miles in urban conditions. For urban commuters like Davies, this translates to approximately six days of driving on a single charge.
In addition to its affordability, the Spring boasts a robust set of features. Even the entry-level Expression trim includes a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Media Control system with USB port, electric front windows, and remote central locking. With a 30 kW DC charger, the Spring can achieve an 80% charge in under an hour, ensuring convenience for busy schedules.
A Warm Welcome for Dacia’s Electric Flagship
Chris Swain from Martins Dacia, Basingstoke, was thrilled to hand over the keys to Davies, stating: “The All-New Dacia Spring completely rewrites the EV rulebook. It’s no surprise it has been winning awards even before arriving on UK soil. Given the huge number of enquiries we’ve received, Mr. Davies is just the first of many excited owners.”
Luke Broad, Dacia’s UK Brand Director, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the brand’s mission to provide exceptional value without compromise. “The first all-electric Dacia on UK roads being the country’s most affordable new electric car perfectly demonstrates what we strive for as a brand. We wish Mr. Davies many happy miles of emissions-free motoring,” Broad shared.
Revolutionizing Accessible EV Ownership
The Dacia Spring has already made waves across Europe, and its arrival in the UK cements its position as a groundbreaking option in the EV market. Designed to make electric driving accessible, it delivers on Dacia’s promise of offering “everything you need and nothing you don’t.”
Customers can now explore the All-New Spring at Dacia retailers or order online at www.dacia.co.uk. With its unbeatable price point, impressive range, and user-friendly features, the Dacia Spring is poised to become a favorite among budget-conscious drivers eager to embrace electric mobility.
For John Davies, the Spring represents more than just a car—it’s a step into a sustainable future, proving that going green doesn’t have to break the bank.
