  • The All-New Dacia Spring is named ‘Bargain of the Year’ by the Best Cars of the Year expert judging panel
  • 100% electric All-New Dacia Spring praised for its affordability and practicality
  • The UK’s most affordable new electric car is now available to order at www.dacia.co.uk or from any official retailer, priced from only £14,995 on-the-road

The All-New Dacia Spring is a big deal in every sense after being judged ‘Best Car Bargain of the Year 2024/2025’ by the independent organisation, Best Cars of the Year.

Comprising of industry-leading car designers, engineers and executives together with motorsport icons and automotive media professionals, the Best Cars of the Year judging panel singled out the pure-electric All-New Spring for its value and versatility.

A star of the Best Cars of the Year stand at the recent British Motor Show, the All-New Dacia Spring is priced at only £14,995 on-the-road, making it the UK’s most affordable new electric car. Ahead of the first customer deliveries later this year, orders are now open and static left-hand-drive versions are displayed in Dacia retailers nationwide for customers to see, touch and feel.

The success of the All-New Dacia Spring in Best Cars of the Year’s annual New Car World Championships follows the Dacia Jogger picking up the same award at last year’s ceremony.

On Best Cars of the Year declaring the All-New Dacia Spring an unbeatable bargain, judge Dr Andy Palmer said: “The Dacia Spring is great for several reasons – particularly among those looking for an affordable, practical efficient electric vehicle. It’s especially suited to urban environments and short to medium commutes. So, upon full consideration, I’m going with the new Dacia Spring.”

Rewriting the EV rulebook, the All-New Spring combines its incredible value with a comprehensive standard specification and everyday usability. It offers a choice of Expression and Extreme trim levels and has a range of up to 140 miles (WLTP mixed cycle) or 186 miles (WLTP urban cycle).

The Spring can be ordered with a 45 hp, or a more powerful 65 hp/48 kW motor. Using its 7kW charger, the compact 26.8 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 100% on a suitable domestic outlet in less than 11 hours, or in just four hours on a 7kW charger.

The standard specification includes such features as a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Media Control system with USB port, electric front windows and remote central locking.
