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.

Hongqi E-HS9

The Hongqi E-HS9 arrives like a modern state limousine rewired into an electric SUV, all imposing chrome, tall presence and an interior that aims to cocoon occupants in luxury. It's serenely quiet and packed with tech, offering a compelling, slightly quirky alternative to established European luxury SUVs for buyers who want drama as much as comfort.
