The new Dacia Spring vs The People! EXCLUSIVE | Electrifying

#daciaspring #cheapevs #electriccars

CHECKED OUT THE EVALUATION:

By now, the majority of us have either read, seen or heard all about the all-new Spring. When it lands in showrooms later on this year, it's going to be the most budget friendly new on the marketplace. Not by a couple of hundred pounds, either. This is going to be THOUSANDS of pounds less expensive than ANY other new electrical and truck you can purchase.

At , we don't just like the sound of our own voices. We like to know what you believe. And because we began producing our video evaluations, we've had countless comments on our channel. Some interesting, some handy, some downright disrespectful.

But the remarks section can just tell us so much.

Which is why in this video we're bringing you a real-life, live and kicking YouTube comments section. Join Nicola as she welcomes Nichola, Sara, Alison and Richard to take a look around the brand-new Spring – months before it shows up in sellers.

How do they rate the Spring? Has the cost-cutting gone too far in some locations, or has Dacia pulled off a masterstroke and created a brilliant bundle? Will the series of just 137 miles be a deal-breaker for our customers, or has Dacia got its sums right?

Do you concur with our reviewers? Let us understand in the comments listed below.

If you wish to be one of our evaluation group, let us understand at info@electrifying.com. We'll be planning more shoots like this in the future and we 'd like to have you along.

    Nice item, and good info by the people. This should be done more often. Invite a group of 4 to “feel” the car and let them tell what they think of it.
    The Dacia EV will have some competition in 2024 and 2025, with the new 200km range Citroën ë-C3 for €20k. And possibly with the Hyundai Casper?
    But both are indeed €5k more expansive. At €15k this Dacia is blowing the competition out of the water.

    Looking forward to having a go in October – only thing for me is that given it’s a NMC battery you only want to charge to 80% regularly so probably more like 80 mile range – obviously can fully charge but imagine it will impact degradation?

    Why does it not surprise me to see Nicola in matching trousers and umbrella…!?! 😂 Yep: it’s a *city* car, with that range. I guess it’s selling point is the price: more affordable than other EVs with limited range.

    Give it 5 years when these start to hit the secondhand market & it will be great, they’ll only be used as city cars so will be low mileage, what’s not to like for a small city car or a second car for the school run & popping to the shops.

      @@Brian-om2hh Yep, the average mileage here in the UK is 20 miles a day/ 140 per week, this will be ideal for many people, meny will only need to charge it once or twice a week meaning you don’t even need off street parking for a home charger, just charge it when you go shopping.

    Good idea to have a viewers panel, such a pity they didn’t get to drive the car though. Probably worth repeating video with another panel of EV virgins once you can have a road test. Be interesting to see how the Kia 2 compares and its a shame we don’t have the Nissan Sakura in the UK. Both would give the Spark a run for the money.

    This car is intended as a commuter city car, and nothing else. If you buy it for that reason, then you’re unlikely to be disappointed. The EV market needs cars like this now. We’ve had all the high end £40k plus cars. The EV market now needs to cater for potential EV buyers at the opposite end of the market…. The new Renault R5 and Citroen e C3will cater for those who are willing to spend a few grand more, and want more style…..

    I have a Spring, bought it last June. I live in the heart of the French countryside with winding lanes and lots of hills. I drive into the towns, to the airport, shop etc. I absolutely love it. The range is just under 300 km in the Summer and I am getting 225 km out of it in our Winters. I love it. Defrost while I’m in the house, top it up at home. Fun to drive and behaves like a small SUV which is handy on some of our roads. No complaints at all.

      The WLTP is 230km. No way you get 300km out of it, sorry. WLTP is about the most optimistic range a manufacturer can quote.

      Belive it or not, Dacia Spring is the only EV which can do more then VLTP. On a longer journey I can allways can go around 300 km with a consumption between 7-8 kwh/100 km. It is a very light car. Has only 970 kg.

      That’s more than 180 miles which on a 27kWh battery is well over 6 miles per kWh so I’m prepared to call you a big fat french liar.

      @@alapar73 that’s an admirable efficiency, but enough video’s show much worse range for this car, unless you drive at low speeds (like 60kmh) with very little stopping. WLTP is measured at 80kmh. I mean, every EV gets further than WLTP if you drive slower. But people want to know the range for speeds higher than that.

    i like the fact that the charging port is were it should be on a EV at the front, not were ICE cars had the filling cap by the fuel tank.

    we miss the most important in this video, and that is how it handles on the road, and how it is to drive. Seats etc? how are they ? Otherwise can not complain to much for the price I guess.

    I think the Spring is very well targeted for its market. It’s a small cheap EV and that is all a lot of people want or need. It’s cheaper than a lot of the combustion competition too, which will be great for helping EV adoption

    Thanks everyone at Electrifying for my opportunity to be on the channel! (I am the EV geek in the brown jacket…) The video is completely representative of what we said on the day too. Really, really impressed with the Spring – it’s everything a cheap, cheerful runaround should be. The right things, done right. Well done Dacia!

      Did they inform you you were sitting in a Dongfeng with Dacia logo, and the technology is still the same as in 2015? You know there’s no 3 fase charging? As a result it can only be used as a second car. And not in the city because you need time and space on you driveway to charge it…. You also need 1 to 2 miles to pass a semi truck. If you ever succeed in passing. So weird not one negative point was mentionned. And you guys really weren’t paid to act all this?

They didn’t drive it so didn’t experience the lacklustre performance, though as the former owner of two Fiesta’s with less power than the ~60hp variant it’ll drive fine anywhere but a motorway (and better off the lights).

    This is a shopper, a runaround, a second car basically, that could be the gateway drug to EV for a lot of folks. As a city car tho, the real challenge is still charging infrastructure – you’ll need a long cable to dangle out of your tower block apartment. That’s not the cars fault tho – I think it’s great.
