The model
Read full Dacia Spring reviewIf you live in a city and you want a brand-new electric car that is capable of getting you from door to door in relative comfort, the Dacia Spring is well worth considering. However, if you live further afield and are drawn to the Spring's budget pricing, think twice. Its limited range, slow charging rate, and low safety rating prevent it from being an all-in-one bargain like the Citroën ë-C3 and MG4.
The trim
See full equipmentExtreme is only available in conjunction with the Electric 65 powertrain, but you get some really useful additions like electrically adjustable mirrors, electric rear windows, vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging and a 10.0in infotainment system.
The engine
See full engine specsA claimed 0-62mph time of 14 seconds doesn’t sound quick but the Spring is punchier than you would expect at speeds up to 40mph. It will even sit at motorway speeds for short periods of time.
