Hungary is the first country where Dacia dealers accept the registration and payment of an advance for Dacia Spring. In Hungary, the first 100 copies that have already been sold are priced at 6.49 million florins or 17,700 euros, and the payment for a reservation is 100,000 florins or 274 euros, and if one of the first 100 abandons the order , then you could buy the car.

Hungary is therefore the first country where Renault has communicated the official price of the car. The initial estimates are thus confirmed, and the car has a price between 15,000 and 20,000 euros.

The Renault City K-ZE, the electric model on which Dacia Spring is based, was launched on the Chinese market last year. It is produced by eGT New Energy Automotive, a joint venture owned by Nissan and Dongfeng of which Renault owns 25%. The same company will initially produce Dacia Spring. Last year, Renault Dongfeng announced that in China the company will only sell electric cars.

The Renault City K-ZE is a mini-class crossover, with a 26.8 kWh battery that is priced in China at US $ 9,000 after deducting bonuses. Most likely in Romania due to the bonus of 10,000 euros or at most 50% of the value of the car, Dacia Spring will arrive with a price of 7-8,000 euros.

The European launch occurs given that the electric car segment was the only one that grew in 2020, the year in which the pandemic swept at least 30% of the automotive market. In the first half of the year, around 220,000 electric cars were delivered to the European Union, 22% more than in the same period in 2019.

Given the 26.8 kWh battery, the car is most likely 170-200 km long, enough for the city or a short long-distance trip. The car has 4 seats and a length of 3.73 m, compared to 4.09 meters for the new Sandero.
