Dacia has just thrown a curveball at the automotive world with the announcement of its budget-friendly SUV, the Dacia Spring. Set to hit the UK market later this year with a starting price of only £14,995, this little SUV is causing quite a stir. Pre-orders kick off on 12th March, and judging by its success in Europe, the Dacia Spring is primed to be a top seller on British shores.
One thing the Dacia Spring won’t do is eliminate range anxiety. While some may fret about the 137-mile range, Dacia’s research reveals that the average Spring driver covers just 23 miles a day. For most folks, that means only a few charges per week. Plus, with a standard 7kW charger, you can juice up your Spring from 20% to 100% in a mere four hours. Need a quicker top-up? The included cable hooks up to a three-pin socket for an 11-hour full charge.
Alas, speed demons seeking ultra-fast charging will have to look elsewhere, as the Dacia Spring doesn’t support 11kW or 22kW home chargers. Nevertheless, its charging times are comparable to larger battery EVs on standard UK fast chargers. Inside, the Spring surprises with a tech-laden cabin that belies its modest price tag.
For urban dwellers in need of an affordable city cruiser, the Dacia Spring checks all the boxes. With its respectable range and wallet-friendly price starting at £14,995 for the mid-range Expression or top-tier Extreme trims, it’s set to be a crowd favorite. Whether you’re zipping around town on quick errands or tackling your daily commute, the Dacia Spring offers an enticing package that’s hard to ignore.
In a world where electric vehicles are often associated with hefty price tags, Dacia’s introduction of the Spring as an affordable, eco-friendly option is a breath of fresh air. With its practical range, swift charging times, and tech-savvy interior, the Dacia Spring proves that you don’t need to break the bank to embrace the future of transportation. So, mark your calendars for the 12th of March and get ready to secure your spot in the queue for this game-changing SUV. Who knew going green could be this easy on the wallet?
