Introducing The New Dacia Spring
If you want a compact electric hatchback that keeps daily costs low and feels easy to live with, have a look at the new Dacia Spring. It is built for real-life use, especially in town, where its small footprint, light controls, and simple charging setup make short trips, school runs, and local errands feel straightforward.
The latest Spring moves things on from the earlier version with a smarter interior, cleaner dashboard design, and more useful technology. Depending on version, you can get an upgraded cabin with a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, a 7-inch digital driver display, and Vehicle-to-Load capability that lets the car power small external devices. Those upgrades make the Spring feel more modern and more convenient without taking away the simple, no-fuss character that makes it appealing in the first place.
It also stays practical. You get a 308-litre boot, compact dimensions that make tight parking easier, and a layout that does not feel intimidating if this is your first electric car. That makes the Spring a sensible option for drivers who want electric motoring without stepping into a much larger or more expensive model.
If you want to find out how it feels on the road, you can book a test drive with Vertu.

Can I Buy A New Dacia Spring On Finance?
A new Dacia Spring on finance can make the move into electric driving much more manageable, especially if you would rather spread the cost through monthly payments than pay for the car in one go. It can also help you choose the version that suits you best, whether that is an Expression model focused on value or an Extreme version with the full infotainment and convenience package.
At Vertu, a Dacia Spring on finance may be available through different agreements depending on the trim, deposit, and contract length. Typical options can include:
- PCP or Personal Contract Purchase, which can suit drivers who want lower monthly payments and flexibility at the end of the agreement.
- HP or Hire Purchase, which can suit buyers who want to work towards ownership with fixed monthly payments.
- PCH or Personal Contract Hire, which can suit drivers who want to lease the car for a fixed period rather than own it.
If you want a more detailed breakdown of how each option works, take a look at car finance explained.
Where Can I Buy A New Dacia Spring?

New Dacia Spring FAQs
Is the new Dacia Spring easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes, it is one of the easiest new electric cars to park. The Spring is short, narrow, and has a tight 9.6-metre turning circle, so it feels manageable in narrow streets, supermarket bays, and busy multi-storey car parks. The upright shape also helps you judge the corners of the car more easily.
Which new Dacia Spring trim should I choose?
Expression is the right choice if you want the lowest-cost route into a new electric car and mainly use it for local journeys. Extreme is the better fit if you want the stronger tech package, the upgraded interior, the 10.1-inch infotainment screen, and Vehicle-to-Load capability. If those extra day-to-day features matter to you, Extreme is the trim that gives the Spring a more complete feel.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Dacia Spring?
The Dacia Spring comes with a 3-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first. The traction battery is covered separately for 8 years or 74,000 miles, with a 75% battery-capacity guarantee. There is also a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty, which adds reassurance for longer-term ownership.
Are the tech features of the new Dacia Spring easy to use?
Yes, that is one of the Spring’s strengths. The menus stay simple, the 10.1-inch infotainment screen in Extreme keeps key functions easy to find, and the 7-inch digital dashboard gives you range and charging information in a clear format. It feels approachable, which is useful if you are moving into an electric car for the first time.
What insurance group is the new Dacia Spring in?
The new Dacia Spring Expression Electric 45 is typically listed in insurance group 24A. Exact figures can vary between versions and insurers, so it is always worth checking the specific car you are interested in along with your own driver profile before you commit.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Dacia Spring?
A fixed plan can work well if you want your maintenance costs to stay predictable month to month. A more flexible plan can suit you if your mileage changes a lot through the year. If you want to compare the options in more detail, take a look at Dacia servicing.
