Dacia Spring (2024-2025)
Dacia Spring Expression Electric 45
The Dacia Spring Expression Electric 45 is among the more affordable hatchbacks available to buy. It charges more slowly than most rivals, only about 28 miles in 10 minutes.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 82% of its battery health, roughly 139 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners see it as an inexpensive, simple second car for local journeys, school runs and shopping, mainly charged at home. Many buyers are concerned by the one-star Euro NCAP rating, and some owners find it unsettled at dual-carriageway speeds.

BalancedOwners Love
- Owners see it as an inexpensive, simple second car for local journeys, school runs and shopping, mainly charged at home.
- Very low running costs are supported by owner reports of good urban efficiency.
- A tiny turning circle and low weight make parking easy and town driving nippy, particularly in the 65.
Watch Out For
- Many buyers are concerned by the one-star Euro NCAP rating, and some owners find it unsettled at dual-carriageway speeds.
- The 45 hp version is too slow on faster roads, and owners report that it was sold without a rapid-charging socket.
- Owners report a basic cabin, hard plastics, road and wind noise, restricted rear seating and a firm ride across potholes.
Owner Tips
- Choose the 65 (or a 2026 car) rather than the 45, checking that a rapid-charging socket is fitted.
- Obtain an insurance quote before buying.
- Choose it for local journeys and home charging, keeping another car for longer trips.
