First glance: small, honest SUV with a clear brief

The Dacia Spring looks like a compact urban SUV that refused to be flashy and embraced purpose instead, with clean surfaces and chunky plastic cladding that suggest practicality rather than prestige. Its footprint is genuinely tiny at 3,701 mm long, 1,583 mm wide and 1,519 mm tall, which makes it easy to position in tight city streets and awkward parking bays. Design choices are unapologetically budget-focused but coherent, so it never feels cheap in the wrong way — more functional than fussy. For buyers who want presence without pretence, the Spring reads as sensible rather than souped-up.

Cabin: basics with sensible ergonomics

The interior follows the exterior script: simple plastics, straightforward switchgear and a layout that prioritises logic over luxury, with room for everyday items and easy-to-use controls. Seating is configured for four occupants and the seats are firm and supportive for short to medium trips, although long motorway miles will highlight the budget suspension. Storage is competent for a city car and the dashboard avoids gimmicks, concentrating on practicality instead of phosphorescent displays. Higher trims add a touchscreen and nicer materials, but the overall feel remains pleasantly unpretentious.

Room for life: compact on the outside, useful on the inside

Despite its small exterior, the Spring offers surprising utility: a usable boot of 308 litres that expands to 1,004 litres with the rear seats down, and seating for four rather than a crowded five. Curb weights sit between about 1,013 and 1,050 kg, which helps keep energy use down and makes the car feel light in town. Payload figures around 265–302 kg mean everyday shopping, a couple of suitcases or a folded pushchair are no problem, though bulky loads expose the compactness. For urban families or couples who need a second car for errands, the Spring hits a pragmatic sweet spot.

On the road: made for the city, limited beyond it

The Spring is built for urban driving with front-wheel drive, a reduction gearbox and either 44 hp (33 kW) or 65 hp (48 kW) on tap, producing modest torque figures and brisk low-speed pull but modest highway pace. Acceleration to 100 km/h is leisurely at about 19.1 s for the lower-output version and 13.7 s for the stronger motor, while top speed is roughly 125 km/h, so overtaking on motorways is possible but not sporty. Light steering and a taut turning circle make manoeuvring and parking effortless, while the suspension prioritises comfort over composure, smoothing city bumps but body-rolling on fast bends. In short: enjoy it around town, accept its limitations on long fast runs.

How far and how frugal: the numbers that matter

The Spring uses a 26.8 kWh battery and posts WLTP-ish consumption figures of about 14.1 and 13.2 kWh/100 km, resulting in advertised ranges around 225–228 km depending on version. In everyday use that translates to realistic city ranges typically between about 150 and 200 km depending on speed, heating and load, which is plenty for daily commuting and short weekend trips. Low curb weight helps keep electricity use down, so regular home charging will meet most needs without daily range anxiety. This is a city-first car: efficient where it counts, less convincing on long high-speed journeys.

Gadgets and driver aids: deliberate simplicity

Technology levels are intentionally modest: infotainment is functional with smartphone mirroring available on higher trims and the driver interface keeps information simple and readable rather than flashy. Advanced driver assistance systems are present at a basic level, so expect essentials rather than a full-suite of semi-autonomous features found on pricier EVs. The emphasis is on features that matter day-to-day — connectivity, visibility and practical sensors — rather than on expensive gimmicks. For buyers who want modern convenience without paying for cutting-edge tech, the Spring delivers the essentials.

Who should buy it: a pragmatic city commuter

The Spring is aimed squarely at budget-conscious urban drivers who value low running costs, easy parking and functional space over performance or premium feel, with seating for four and a load bay that serves everyday life well. Current versions include the Spring Electric 45 and Spring Electric 65, which balance economy and usable range with either 44 hp or 65 hp outputs and WLTP ranges in the mid-200 kilometres, so buyers can choose a slightly peppier or more frugal setup. It makes sense as a first EV, a second household car, or a commuter that keeps ownership costs low while handling city duties reliably. Those seeking motorway cruising comfort, rapid charging or plush interiors will find better fits elsewhere, but for urban practicality at a sharp price the Spring remains hard to beat.
