Dacia Reveals European‑Made Second‑Generation Spring Priced from €17,900

European assembly restores subsidy eligibility to help the €17,900 Spring compete with low‑cost Chinese city EVs.

Overview

  • Dacia unveiled the redesigned Spring on Tuesday, confirming a single front motor of 60 kW and a 27.5 kWh LFP battery that delivers about 250 km WLTP range.
  • Production shifts from China to Renault’s Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia so the model can qualify for EU and national incentives and avoid China‑targeted duties.
  • The lineup is simplified to Expression and Journey trims with every version priced under €20,000 before incentives and a European entry price set at €17,900.
  • Charging is standard with a 6.6 kW AC onboard charger and an optional Charge Pack adds 11 kW AC, 50 kW DC fast charging (15–80% in ~28 minutes) plus vehicle‑to‑load capability.
  • The Spring is the first of four Dacia EVs to 2030 built on Renault’s RG‑EV Small platform, a faster development programme intended to cut costs by sharing architecture and shortening design cycles.
