New Dacia Spring(Renault Kwid)?

Dacia announces the launch of the second generation of its 100% electric city car.

Manufactured in Europe, the new Spring opens a new chapter for the brand, while building on the continuity of a model that has become a reference model.

Launched in 2021, the Spring has already won over nearly 210,000 customers across Europe, confirming the relevance of simple, affordable and practical electric mobility.

True to the spirit of Dacia, the new Spring retains the essential elements: a 100% electric powertrain, four real seats and a real trunk.

A universal and instantly recognizable name, Spring evokes the spring season — a symbol of renewal and positive energy. With the new Spring, Dacia continues to pursue a clear ambition: to pave the way for electric vehicles accessible to all.

The origin of the name of the new Dacia Spring...The new Spring embodies the positive energy of renewal and marks the beginning of a new story, continuing on from the Spring model, with which it shares much more than just its name: the same DNA - the DNA of a small, reliable and practical all-electric car, which continues to pave the way for electric vehicles accessible to all.

A legacy with over 210,000 customers...Since its launch in 2021, the Dacia Spring has won over nearly 210,000 customers across Europe. A number that confirms the relevance of a clear proposition: simple, accessible and practical electric mobility.

Dacia, founded in 1968 and relaunched by the Renault Group in 2004, has the best quality/price ratio in its DNA. Its models have become market benchmarks. The Sandero has been the best-selling car for private European customers every year since 2017, and the best-selling car in Europe across all channels in 2024 and 2025. The Spring is the extension of this philosophy to the urban electric segment.

Current Dacia Spring: technical specifications...The Dacia Spring for sale comes in two engine versions, both sharing the same battery and the same urban use philosophy. It is a small, light and efficient car, designed for those who travel mainly in the city.

Engine and battery...The Spring is available with two power levels. The entry-level version is equipped with a 45 hp (33 kW) engine with 125 Nm of torque. The more powerful version increases to 65 hp (48 kW) and maintains the same urban use profile. Both versions share the same 26.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, with a homologated range of 225 km WLTP.

Charging...In alternating current, the Spring accepts charging up to 7.4 kW AC, completing a charge from 20 to 100% in approximately 5 hours. The 65 hp version includes fast charging in direct current up to 30 kW DC, allowing you to reset the battery from 20 to 80% in about 56 minutes.

Dimensions and habitability...The Dacia Spring is a small car on the outside, but functional on the inside. It measures 3.70 m in length, 1.58 m in width and 1.49 m in height, with a wheelbase of 2.74 m. The trunk has a capacity of 308 liters, which can expand to 1,004 liters with the rear seats folded down.

Equipment and technology...The interior includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital instrument panel, and connectivity with the My Dacia app. The Spring also includes the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) system, which allows you to use the car's battery to power external devices via a 220V outlet.
