While Tesla is still coming up with its budget electric car, Dacia is introducing a new generation of such a car
Today, the Renault-controlled Dacia brand officially presented the updated Dacia Spring hatchback – 2024 model. The car has become very similar to the recently introduced third generation Dacia Duster.
Dacia Spring – This is a budget electric car: small and as technically simplified as possible. The dimensions of the car are 3701 x 1767 x 1519 mm, wheelbase – 2423 mm. Wheels, depending on the version, are 15- or 16-inch. Under the hood of the car there is a small compartment with a volume of only 35 liters – Just for storing the charging cable. The trunk volume is 308 liters.
The basic version has an electric motor with a power of 45 hp, acceleration to 100 km/h – under 20 seconds! But there is a more powerful option – with a motor with a power of as much as 65 hp. This version accelerates to 100 km/h in 14 seconds. Traction battery capacity – only 26.8 kW·h, declared range – 220 km. It seems like quite a bit, but Dacia counters: according to the manufacturer, the average daily mileage of a Spring owner – only 37 km, and 90% of trips – no more than 70 km. And some more statistics: the average speed of movement Spring – 37 km/h (probably, cars are mainly bought for use in the city), 75% of electric car owners charge it at home.
The low electricity consumption per 100 km is also due to the fact that Dacia Spring – light electric car: the curb weight of the top (that is, the most equipped) version is 984 kg.
The price of Dacia Spring 2024 has not been announced, but last year’s model cost about 20 thousand euros, excluding government subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles.
Recall that yesterday Dacia presented the updated Logan, Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger.
