Dacia Spring

The Dacia Spring is an unpretentious city electric that strips EV ownership down to the essentials, offering clean, fuss-free transport for daily urban life. It won't impress luxury-seekers, but its cheerful practicality and rock-bottom running costs make it a clever, no-nonsense choice for anyone who wants electric mobility without the drama.

CUPRA Raval

The CUPRA Raval is a compact electric hatch that mixes hot‑hatch intent with genuine everyday practicality, pairing an unusually roomy, flexible boot with a modern Android‑based infotainment that feels responsive. It drives in a composed, traction‑rich way that suits city and family life, though the steering leans toward assuredness rather than playfulness and some climate controls rely on touch sliders that can be fiddly on the move.
