Dacia has finally broken its long silence on UK pricing for the new Spring EV, revealing that it will cost from just £14,995 - less than the petrol-powered Renault Clio. The Spring was recently confirmed for a UK launch in the coming months, following a wide-reaching visual and technical overhaul aimed at sustaining its strong sales figures in Europe.
That sub-£15k headline price is for the entry-level Expression car with the lower-powered 44bhp motor, which is good for 0-62mph in 19sec. Standard kit includes a 7.0in touchscreen, USB port, cruise control, electric front windows and rear parking sensors. The quicker 64bhp car – which takes 13.7sec for the 0-62mph sprint – starts at £15,995 and adds larger, 15in wheels.
