More than 9,300 people pre-ordered the new Dacia Spring, the cheapest electric car in Europe, less than a month after the opening of pre-orders, according to data provided by the company.

Thus, since the opening of pre-orders on March 20, more than 9,300 customers have already pre-ordered a Spring vehicle, the electric car having “immediate success in the five countries that opened the pre-orders on the first day of spring: Romania, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain ”.

Most reservations come from Romania, about 6,000, with a waiting list already growing. Increased interest also came from France.

Pre-orders for Dacia Spring also opened in April in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

On March 20, Dacia opened the pre-orders for the “Comfort Plus” version, the more expensive model of Dacia Spring, with a price of 18,100 euros (VAT included). Pre-orders for the “Comfort” trim level, available at a price of 16,800 Euros (VAT included), will be opened later. A variant for fleet customers will also be available at the same price: 16,800 euros (VAT included).

Dacia Spring is officially the cheapest electric car in Europe.

In Romania, Dacia Spring can be purchased for only 7,700 euros. For this, however,  buyers must meet two essential conditions. The first is that the purchase is made through the “Rabla Plus” program, which grants subsidies of approximately 9,000 euros for the purchase of 100% electric cars. The second is to exchange an old vehicle, through “Rabla Clasic” cash-for-clunkers program.

Dacia Spring has a 33 KW (45 HP) electric motor, coupled with a 26.8 KWh battery, and can be recharged both with a 220V household socket or at a Wall Box or, and optionally, a DC terminal.

The model has a range of around 230 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle and 305 kilometers according to the WLTP City cycle, which includes only the urban part of the approved cycle.

Dacia Spring sports numerous safety features, among which are: a speed limiter, ABS, ESP, electronic brake-force distributor, six airbags, emergency call (SOS button), automatic headlights,  and automatic emergency braking.

At launch time, the model will be available in three colors – Kaoline White, Cenote Blue, and Lightning Silver, to which a fourth option – Goji Red, will be added later on.

The warranty offered is three years or 100,000 kilometers for the vehicle and eight years or 120,000 kilometers for the electric battery.

The first Dacia Spring cars will be delivered in September 2021.
