In a standout achievement for budget-conscious drivers, the All-New Dacia Spring has been crowned ‘Bargain of the Year 2024/2025’ by the esteemed Best Cars of the Year judging panel. This accolade underscores the Spring’s remarkable value, with its appealing price tag making it the most affordable new electric car in the UK.
A Game-Changer in Electric Mobility
Priced from just £14,995 on-the-road, the All-New Dacia Spring is setting new benchmarks in the electric vehicle (EV) landscape. Its affordability, combined with practical features, has captured the attention of industry experts and automotive enthusiasts alike. The Spring was a highlight at the British Motor Show, where its value and versatility shone brightly, leading to its recognition as the ‘Best Car Bargain of the Year.’
This accolade follows the success of the Dacia Jogger, which earned the same honor last year. The Spring’s triumph reflects Dacia’s commitment to delivering exceptional value without compromising on quality.
Exceptional Value Meets Everyday Usability
The All-New Dacia Spring redefines what a budget-friendly EV can offer. The vehicle boasts a range of up to 140 miles on the WLTP mixed cycle and an impressive 186 miles on the WLTP urban cycle, making it an excellent choice for city driving and short to medium commutes.
Available in two trim levels—Expression and Extreme—the Spring provides a selection of options to suit different needs and preferences. Buyers can choose between a 45 hp or a more robust 65 hp/48 kW motor, catering to varying performance requirements. The compact 26.8 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 100% in less than 11 hours using a standard domestic outlet or just four hours with a 7kW charger.
Practical and Feature-Rich
Despite its competitive price, the Dacia Spring comes with a comprehensive standard specification. Notable features include a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, and a Media Control system with USB port. Additionally, electric front windows and remote central locking enhance convenience and comfort.
The Spring’s success is a testament to its well-rounded appeal, offering a practical and efficient solution for urban drivers seeking an affordable entry into the electric car market.
As the All-New Dacia Spring prepares for its official customer deliveries later this year, it’s clear that this EV is not just a cost-effective option but also a practical choice for everyday driving needs.
