Dacia Reveals 2026 Spring Pricing and Opens Order Books in the UK

Dacia has officially announced pricing and opened orders for the 2026 Dacia Spring, reinforcing its position as the most affordable new electric car in the UK. Thanks to a new Dacia Electric Car Grant, the updated electric city car now starts at just €14,350, undercutting every other EV on the British market.

The grant reduces the Spring’s list price by €4,400, allowing Dacia to keep electric mobility within reach of budget-conscious buyers and first-time EV owners.

Affordable Price, Meaningful Upgrades

Despite its ultra-low price, the 2026 Dacia Spring receives a number of important mechanical and technological updates.

For the new model year, Dacia has:

• Revised the chassis and suspension for a smoother ride

• Upgraded the braking system for better confidence and safety

• Maintained a curb weight under 1,000 kg, making it one of the lightest EVs available

These changes improve stability and comfort in everyday urban driving while preserving the Spring’s efficiency.

New LFP Battery and Faster Charging

One of the most significant upgrades is the introduction of a 24.3 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery.

Key benefits include:

• Longer battery lifespan

• Improved thermal stability

• Lower environmental impact

The battery delivers a WLTP range of up to 225 km, which is sufficient for most weekly commuting and city use.

Charging has also improved:

• DC fast charging (40 kW): 20–80% in 29 minutes

• AC charging (7.4 kW wallbox): 20–80% in 3 hours 20 minutes

Two Powertrain Options: 70 hp or 100 hp

Buyers can choose between two versions of the electric motor:

• Spring Electric 70 (Expression) – 70 hp

• Spring Electric 100 (Extreme) – 100 hp

Even the base version is designed for city efficiency, while the 100 hp variant offers noticeably quicker acceleration for drivers who want more performance.
