New Spring makes its debut in Paris before arriving in Portugal

The new Dacia Spring is set to hit the market before the end of the year. Before that, you can see it in person at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

Compact dimensions, reduced operating costs, a price much lower than typical for electric vehicles, and an image that has changed significantly since its launch in 2021. These are the key features that define the Dacia Spring in a few words.

The Romanian model is currently the only electric vehicle from the brand and is likely to remain the cheapest in Portugal, with prices estimated at around 17,000 euros.

The first units are starting to be delivered even before the end of the year, but it was first introduced to the public at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. It’s an opportunity to see this Romanian city car again after its international debut:

Separate from the Twingo from the start

In this second generation, the Spring is built on Renault Twingo’s new RG-EV Small platform, which gives it a more robust appearance, more space, and a much more comprehensive range of technologies.

The additional interior space is thanks to its length and width of 3.85 meters and 1.74 meters respectively—15 cm and 18 cm more than before—without compromising on dimensions suitable for urban use.

7 images

This increase is reflected directly inside the vehicle. The trunk offers up to 337 liters, or up to 1283 liters with the rear seats folded down. Optionally, an additional 18 liters is available under the hood.

In terms of technology, all versions come equipped with a 7″ instrument panel, while the 10.1″ central screen is only available on the higher trim levels. On the other hand, it’s now possible to adjust the height of the steering column and the depth of the driver’s seat.

82 hp and 250 km of range

Under the hood, the new Dacia Spring is available with only one powertrain option, which combines a front electric motor producing 60 kW (82 hp) and 175 Nm of torque with a 27.5 kWh LFP battery.

In total, this translates to 12.1 seconds to reach 100 km/h, a top speed of 130 km/h, and most importantly, a range of up to 250 km in the combined WLTP cycle.
