Overview
- Dacia presented the redesigned Spring and opened reservations Tuesday, confirming two trims (Expression and Journey) and list prices below €20,000 before public incentives.
- The Spring uses a single powertrain with an 80 CV motor, 27.5 kWh LFP battery, roughly 250 km WLTP range, optional 50 kW DC charging and vehicle‑to‑load (V2L) capability.
- Reports agree the Spring is larger and far more practical than the original, offering a 337‑liter trunk (expandable to 1,283 L) and an optional 18‑liter front trunk.
- Coverage and test drives also showcased the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 155, which pairs a 1.8‑litre 109 CV petrol engine with two electric units for a combined 155 CV and starts at €21,290.
- A reporting discrepancy over the Spring’s final assembly—Novo Mesto, Slovenia versus Slovakia—matters because assembly country can affect eligibility for national incentives, and Dacia’s pan‑European production chain already sees engines and gearboxes made in Spain with final assembly in Morocco and Romania.
