Compact dimensions (3.70m long) and a tight turning circle (4.80m wall-to-wall) enhance urban and rural maneuverability. The high ground clearance and durable bodywork ensure longevity and practicality, while the Y-shaped light signature and full-LED daytime running lights add a modern touch.

Inside, the Spring features a redesigned dashboard with a 7-inch digital display and a 10-inch multimedia screen on the Extreme trim. The interior materials and color palette have been improved for better quality while maintaining Dacia’s cost-effective philosophy. The ample storage space includes a 308-liter boot, expandable to 1,004 liters, and nearly 33 liters of cabin storage.
Multimedia and Safety
The Spring’s multimedia systems include Media Control on the Expression trim and Media Nav Live on the Extreme trim, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features include advanced emergency braking, lane keep assist, and traffic sign recognition, ensuring compliance with the latest European safety regulations.
Powertrain and Efficiency
Available with either a 45 hp or 65 hp motor, the Spring offers efficient performance with a WLTP range of 140 miles. The compact 26.8 kWh battery meets everyday needs without excess weight. The Spring also supports regenerative braking and various charging options, including fast charging from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes.
Practical Features
