Enhanced Dacia Spring priced from £12,240
The updated Spring is offered with a choice of two new permanent magnet synchronous electric motors, delivering outputs of 70 hp or 100 hp. The higher-powered version reduces the 0–62 mph time to 9.6 seconds, compared with 12.3 seconds for the 70 hp variant. Both are paired with a single-speed transmission and draw energy from a 24.3 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Dacia states that this is the first application of LFP technology within the Renault Group.
WLTP combined driving range is quoted at up to 140 miles for both versions. Charging options include single-phase AC charging at up to 7 kW and DC rapid charging at up to 40 kW, allowing a 20–80% recharge in 29 minutes. Dacia positions this capability as sufficient for typical urban and commuter use.
Chassis, suspension and braking systems have been revised to improve comfort and everyday driving confidence. Inside, all versions now feature a 7-inch digital instrument cluster as standard. Extreme models add a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside Dacia’s YouClip accessory system and enhanced interior materials.
The range opens with the Expression Electric 70 at £15,990 on the road before the Dacia Electric Car Grant, while the Extreme Electric 100 is priced from £16,990. Both prices include delivery and first registration. The Dacia Spring does currently not qualify for the UK’s Electric Car Grant (ECG). However, the carmaker has introduced its own £3,750 subsidy, reducing on-the-road costs to £12,240 and £13,240 respectively.
Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, said: “With the introduction of our Dacia Electric Car Grant, it makes buying and owning a Spring even more affordable. We’re in the business of making electric mobility accessible for all, and with our track record of delivering best-in-class value for best-in-class cars, it really doesn’t require a leap of faith to go electric.”
With first customer deliveries scheduled for spring 2026, the manufacturer says the model retains its position as the UK’s most affordable new battery-electric car.
