All-New Dacia Spring Made in Europe Launches: Fresh Looks, RG-EV Platform, 27.5 kWh LFP Battery Pack
The second-generation model uses Renault Group’s new small EV platform and a 27.5 kWh battery, while Dacia says it sold more than 210,000 first-generation cars.
- Dacia unveiled the second-generation Spring on September 8, built at Renault's Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia and priced below €20,000 before subsidies to qualify for European purchase incentives.
- Moving production from China to Slovenia allows Dacia to avoid European Commission duties imposed on Chinese-built EVs in October 2024, while leveraging lower labour costs than France or Germany to maintain competitive pricing.
- Developed on Renault Group's RG-EV architecture, the vehicle features a 60kW motor and 27.5kWh LFP battery delivering up to 250km on the WLTP cycle while weighing from 1,212kg, among the market's lowest consumption figures.
- The launch counters Chinese brands like Geely's $15,000 EX5, which have captured record European market share. The Spring marks the first of four all-electric Dacias promised by 2030 to secure the company's budget-EV position.
- Designed for typical owner usage of 34km daily, the Spring offers two trim levels—Expression and Journey—with an optional Charge Pack reducing DC charging times to 28 minutes and adding vehicle-to-load capability.
