- The Dacia Spring Electric is here to change the way we drive in cities. It's an electric car with a small footprint, but a big old heart... and a big boot too.
This car is unashamedly designed for the city, in fact, the Dacia Spring Electric will barely go over 70mph, and that's only if you've got a good tailwind.
In this video, Rich covers all the vital stats and info on a car that could become to cars what Lime Bikes are to bicycles.

#Dacia #DaciaSpringElectric #ElectricCars
Its good to see a company making a simple electric car for the masses unlike the rest who are making over engineered expensive high end cars with functions we don't need.
There are many functions we do not need, but want.
you'd be surpriced how cheap you can really live if you don't buy the things you "want" but only the neccecary things in life.
Yep keeping people in debt is the #1 priority of car deal finance. People are complete suckers.
@@robs4988 want is not a need
@@steve00alt70 Why are you stating the obvious?
Dacia is great, many public services are using it in Croatia, from Mountain rescue service, Electric Company(Hep), firefighters, municipalities, cities, Taxi drivers, even the Bavarian mountain rescue. Its eco-g is also great. Some people really don't care about fancy stuff even if they could afford it. Im personally waiting for Bigster.
It's a honest car. Reliable and cheap to repair and buy parts
I am Romanian and I want to say: God bless Croatia (Hrvatska).
I see you never owned one. Kolko para tolko muzike.
The French car rental E.Leclerc has just ordered 3,000 Dacia Spring Electric and 1,000 Renault Zoe
They will all be spread out on the autobahns as they have no charge left.
@@ruskiryan2398 they are not for autobahns.
@@stickygeiden :))))
Great! I regularly rent vans from Leclerc when I have to transport buky stuff. I suggested to them in 2019 to buy Renault Zoes. I am glad they acted on my suggestion, even if they took their time! ;-)
@@ghanshyamal6655 excuse me what the fuck
The way to pronounce Dacia as it is in Romanian is to say these words in quick succession: "Dutch", "Yeah!".
Amazing! Thanks for this
omg, that work so well :)) gj
No worries. I won't be buying any electric car. No idea why youtube thought I would be interested in this.
@@mkshffr4936 well thanks anyway for clicking on and watching a video about something you're not interested in!
@@Electroheads :D Pax.
I want this just because of the good times I’ve had with the old Dacias in PUBG.
Someone is having dacia 1300 ptsd XD
Between this and the Seat, I'd take Dacia everytime. Unbreakable. Perfect apocalypse car. As long as you've got solar panels of course.....
Dacia unbreakable? I am Romanian, but I wouldn't dare make such a statement
Yeap its unbreakable. I have a Logan fo 10 years. Never had any issues with it. Just the yearly techical control ... depends also what you do with the car and how you take care of it.
Yeah you can charge it in a week with solar in the middle of the Sahara desert
@@zsoltpapp3363 dead right , where’s all the power going to come from if we turned to elec cars etc , even over ten years like they want us to , Nuclear , Hydro , Wave , but Wind and Solar is a no no !
@@charlestaylor8566 For some purposes, solar and wind is great. For heavy duty, like charging huge batteries i dont think so. Without nuclear plants, we cant even hope for clean energy. For some specific regions with low population density and a lot of renewable energy like Norway, its gonna work but for everyone, no way. Even if the most developed countries go this way and ban selling fossil fuel cars in 10 yrs (which i highly doubt in general), that means 20 yrs from now half of the cars will still be fossile fuel cars on our roads. And on booming car markets like China, India etc. its gonna take a lot more time.
No joke. I used to have a Popescu shirt from the time he played at Barcelona.
You mean.. he was the captain 👩✈️
If it’s quite cheap to buy in Sweden, it will be a very suitable second car, and I’ll buy one.
Production numbers and battery supply will be a problem, that's why it's only available to the public in Q3 2021
Consumerism at its finest
what's your main car?
@@dany_2945 Audi A6 c7, and a couple of vintage cars that I mainly use during summertime.
@@mihayy2000 Hopfully. I doubt that its on sale in 2021. Maby there will be some at the ridesharing companies.
Lovely little car for 95% of my road trips. I just wonder what to do when I go on a long holiday trip?
Maybe just rent a bigger, long range car like I do in my current situation.
With the money saved on fuel from driving electric, you might be able to cover the rental costs for a car 2 weeks per year for your yearly holidays. That's not a bad idea.
Let's face it, most people go to holidays by plane and then rent a car at the location. I'm pretty sure this won't be a problem.
It will also be a great commute car for those who work less than 140 miles away from home, and many people work from home these days anyway.
Take the train 🚆 for longer trips 🙂
@@rvb6516 No trains go into the mountains we want to visit in summer.
That Dacia is for city use only. 33kW of power and dangerously slow acceleration (0-100km/h in 19,1 seconds, 80-120km/h 26,2 in seconds) tells it’s not for road trips.
Nice looking cheap car for the city with a decent autonomy, speed and cargo space. This is going to be a huge hit :) I may buy one next year
Then again you MAY not.

Very nice little Car 🙂 success DACIA Spring
Yeah , but ... let share Dacia .
... COVID exist.
Dacia 1310 is faster and much older, yet much less reliable
Scrolling through the comments, I was expecting hoards of petrolheads trying to rip it apart with pathetic arguments, even the better of which could all be finished by replying „well, I guess you’re just not the target group then.“
How refreshing to see so little of that. 😊
On the contrary:
I like my petrol car - and unlike a Tesla, Dacia isn't trying to replace it as a whole but just for the humdrum urban commutes (which aren't that good for an ICE car, anyway...), not for the trips you do to enjoy a car.
I'd guess many petrolheads can live with that...
Makes the Honda E look very expensive and judging by the early customer reviews is style over substance. Dacia just makes sense.
The Honda e is the definition of style over substance. That's what makes it so cool
All EVs are expensive to astronomic £££'s. £40k for an i3, £108k for a Merc, £90k for a Porche, and £150k for a Tesla suv!
I think it's the Honda E that makes the Honda E look expensive tbh.
Jokes apart the Honda e is precisely what a small city car shouldn't be! Come on people get real! DO one REALLY need 5 screens in front of your eyes while putting around the city? Do one need such an high price? Do one need to drag along more than >1500Kg to drive around the city?!
BTW the Range of the Honda e and of the Dacia Spring are rather equivalent! What about that?!
With all this said, I honestly love the Honda e exterior design! But also quite honestly, I say it would be one of my last EV choices!
The Dacia on the other hand... Right now would probably my first choice for city usage! It simply makes sense! ;-)
At least the Honda E has power.
I think the time will give you reason. This Dacia can be a milestone for car industrie.
This is thinking things through to the end, especially in most of Europe where people live in rented flats (so no way of charging at home) and carsharing is already quite common. Nice one Dacia!
Ride share sounded quite cool before Covid19.
@Thleeal Mohammed you say that, but what's Dacia's market share v Mercedes Benz, what's Kia's v BMW? What's Hyundai's v Audi?
My daughter is on a ride sharing scheme in Vancouver (using Toyota hybrids). It’s use has actually gone up as people have reduced their use of buses.
no doubt. just take your mask, hand sanitizer and keep the window open. you'll be fine!
Madrid's ridesharing services are still quite strong and a whole bunch of us still use them regularly
@@javiskii maybe that’s why Madrid is riddled with Covid
I got the updated version of this in June 2023. I got the Expression which comes with all the upgrades. I absolutely love it. Living in the French Countryside which has winding narrow lanes, hills and tractors!!! You simply cannot speed in this. Nippy when I go into the Town. Huge boot for adequate shopping. The back seat is for the dog. We are both very happy with this. I believe they're bringing out an updated range one in 2025, I will seriously consider that too. Great fun, comfortable to drive. Love it.
First Dacia I drove was in Greece in the summer of '87. The battery in it was crap, it had only three lug nuts per wheel. Had my questions at first but it was well built, no squeaks or rattles. More than once it had a dead battery, but no problem! Hop into the boot and pull out the jack handle, turn on the ignition and are sure its in neutral with the parking brake set. Insert jack handle in front of the car in an inconspicuous hole, engage the main pulley of the engine and crank like hell. Always started. Next Dacia I drove fat forward to 2019 was the Duster, not bad for a cheap SUV and again well built. A few months ago I was speaking with the owner of the Renault-Dacia dealer and he informed me of a inexpecive electric that would be available in the spring of 2021, figuring it would be the little Renault, sister to the Nissan Leaf. Nope, its the Dacia Spring. He did not mention anything about it being strictly ride share until Fall of 2021 but marketing in Greece might be a bit different than any other part of the EU.
Take one for a test drive and let us know what you think! Thanks for commenting 🙏
@@Electroheads Waiting in the wings to try one out, time will tell.
The 3 lugnuts is a heritage from renault, the reasoning is 2 wouldn't give an even moment around a circle, so we went with 3, because 4 is a waste....
Dacia up to around 1995 was Romanian car produce which has licenced Renault products with very questionable quality.
1995 Renault bought Dacia today it's Renault branded with Dacia logo for low class
As a senior who enjoys her independence, it's exactly what I am looking for, a no nonsense car, and affordable. I don't need the leather seats, and other bells and whistles. I will definitely check it out.
A very interesting alternative to much more expensive electric small cars that are current for sale in the market
I owned around 20 Dacia since 1990 bouth personal and for the company. They are strong, reliable cars not only cheap to run, especialy after 2007. I had other brands too but VW didn't pruve more reliable then Dacia and Fiat Doblos wore abysmal with those hidraulycal tighteners for the drive belt causing engine failure the moment oil got a bit low. At this moment I have 3 Dacias, 1 personal and 2 company. Me and my wife, we drive a Volkswagen Phaeton and a Dacia Logan, one is to look cool and go in vacation the other is to be sure we always have a working car :) I call the Phaeton "queen of the service" as is is always the nicest car there. In Romania depreciation is very low, my 2015 low millage Logan was 8500 euros and I can sell it today for 6000.The only car I had and I abused more then the Dacias was the Nissan Patrol but that's a totaly different car. I would encourage anyone that has reliability doubts about the brand to do some research and realise this is a hidden gem of the auto industry and I'm sure a electrical Dacia can only be more reliable.
RUST BUCKET! dacia TALIBAN

I drove a Dacia Spring electric. For two months. It's a perfect little cheap car for its purpose.

caterinca :))
From the movie 'Office Space'. Hilarious movie.
21st Century Beetle/500/Morris 1000/Renault 4. People need cars like this. Complicated, big batteried, expensive to fix mega cars are not what is needed. This is. It could be an icon, not for anything other than it does everything that is needed at the right price and it doesnt pollute your kids on the school run/commute to work. Any car in town can only do a max of 30mph, so ban everything more powerful or charge them a lot for urban driving.
Most people sometimes drive outside the city as well.
how refreshing!! no fixation with power and nought to sixty stats.
Beecause it's so slow
This is the car I have been waiting for. Not a supercar - just a car for everyone. Brilliant!
Yeah, not really a supercar, but its complete opposite. And this is not car for everyone, it’s suitable only for urban use. Maybe 33kW (1kW per 30kg) is enough for city driving, but not for anything else.
I am gone get one for my family next year. It makes no sense to use my 1.9 TDI in town, when I can get cheaper with this electric one. For longer trips, I would use diesel. Maybe when Spring 2 will appear in 2025, the range will be around 500 km, so at that time we won't need an Ice car for longer trips.
I prefer in 2025 lower price not higher specs. If they have the technology to build an electric car with 5000 euro they should do it with no radio, no electric windows no AC, etc. I just want a cheap car that you can drive 8 hours in the city with 3 euro.
Perfect transportation device,
Dacia electric just makes perfect sense,
Well done dacia...
From România... You did a great video
Dacia is Springing the World
You mean Renault.
@@altergreenhorn I mean Dacia from Romania
@@marius279 So you mean a name Dacia ? Because that is the only Romanian thing there
@@altergreenhorn - ignore him, stupid nationalism... 99.9% of us, romanians, have no clue the Spring is a redesign of the Renault platform already in commercial production in India, Brazil and China. I remember a "sales representative" for Dacia was amazed and baffled she had to read some tech data from a Nissan Qashqai, just after the Duster was announced and the marketing department didn't had all materials ready for it.
@@gheaflorin you can say the same thing about scania(swedish) owned by vw, lamborghini, seat, skoda, scania, and a lot more, Dacia is romanian, and is a member of Renault group, is not renault..
As an owner of a late model ice-powered BMW mini, I am constantly monitoring the battery-car market for signs of innnovation, before I take the inevitable plunge. I was very very tempted by an i3 Rex, but wavered in the end due to concerns about battery pack life... the Dacia Spring is the only new 'leccy car that's tweaked my interest - but I think I'll hang on until I hear more about Tesla's rumoured cheapie.
PS I did that very rare thing, for me - I clicked the subscribe button!
Why the concerns regarding battery pack life? You would have either a 7 or 8 year warranty anyway, and even when the pack begins to lose some capacity - maybe at around 10 years old - then you'd have the pack checked and refurbished, with new cells replacing the less efficient ones. It normally costs around a third of the cost of a new pack...... Several companies in the UK are already offering this service..... There is a video on here of a 9 year old Leaf having a pack refurb. It cost the owner around £500, so he was well chuffed.
They use same battery technology ad the most expensive Tesla,Liion that is.
But wait,chinese have allready LiFePO4 and LTO batteries .
LiFePO4 its verry safe,verry long life( 10 times the life of best/ newest Tesla gigafactory madde Liion.
As for LTO,they last 100 years continuously.
I dont think you will see LiFePO4 or LTO batteries in a car too soon except maybe my electric Trabant.
Electric cars manufacturers are not stupid to sell you a car that almost drives for free and lasts 50-100 years.
Amazing car, love the look as well 😍
Hm. Glad to have more choice, but I just don’t see why you wouldn’t go for a similarly priced (or even cheaper) second-hand EV. You would definitely get more power and more kit.
If I didn't rely so much on speed, I would be getting one of these.
Well done Dacia. Hopefully they can cater for us speed freaks the next time round.
I agree with almost EVERY SINGLE WORD of your consideration about the car and the way we will necessarily accomplish to use it in (near) future. Bravo!
Romania owns 5% of Dacia. Renault owns 95%. So yeah, romanian car. Source: I work in the Mioveni Dacia factory.
ok..and?
@@tavibaroi what it is that you don't understand? Is nothing romanian about Dacia this days. That's why it is successful. If romanians were still in charge we will been driving Dacia 1510 at the best.
We need this for Britain.
Looks perfect for people who don’t like cars. Respect to Dacia and what they’ve built but honesty for someone who enjoys cars it’s really unappealing...
Fair comment. Genuine car enthusiasts are probably make up about 1% of car purchasers, important to remember that most people see them as a functional purchase with *some* lifestyle implications.
Excellent, no nonsense review that uses humour to good effect. Personally, I think they should sell it directly to people via a website using a fair minded finance plan and they’d sell out
I'm sorry to see the car manufacturers going along with the Great Reset on ownership. We are supposed to own nothing but be happy.
Nice. I have a Stepway and love it's no nonsense back to basics feel. Comfortable and economical as well. They should do s small petrol version as well.
They do...
Robust, yet perfect - I think has a good target this car, a very good audience - and it will be a success no matter if you are prepared for it or not !
78 miles per hour? That's about 125 km/h if I'm correct. That will be around most highway speed limits in the world other than germany. Why would you need to go faster?
Why should you use the toilet paper only once?

@@TonyFelony19 jou have digital speedometer. They show you only the maximum speed of 125 km/h.
@@kresimirfuntak5022 yeah , but i'm not talking about the new Dacia , i'm talkin' about any other normal car that lets you push it to its decent limit
Have it not already been decided all new cars in EU will have mandatory intelligent speed assistance from 2022? So it will no longer be possible to go over the speed limit anyways.
Hi, there,
As a Romanian, i could tell you that in Romanian it pronounces DACHIA,(the old people of this land was called dac(hi)...)
This car Maker is Situated @ the courts of Transilvania and was buy it by Renault @ least 10 years back!))
I’d definitely consider this over the Seat, VW and Škoda triplets.
I bought my Dacia Logan MCV in 2014 I use it every day I've not had any problems with it at all. I might need to buy a new battery before the winter is out though. £8500 well spent. I'd definitely be up for the "Spring" as it makes sense. Although if they do an electric version of mine (estate car) I'd go for that.
Sounds like the new MG 5 might be up your street.....
I absolutely loved the Juiced Media reference here!
Light, easy, basic, no-nonsense and cheap. Add really good range and its a winner... unfortunately not available anywhere of course.
I'd buy one in a beat ... Unfortunately with Brexit coming I'm not sure EU will send it here in UK. I drive less than 20 miles a day and I have a garage where I can charge it. £27k for Tesla is way too much , at least for me. AutoExpress said that it will be put on the market for £ 18500. Sick. For now, Dacia Spring is the only rational option on the EV market for regular people without a fat bank account. Which is a bit sad.
Renault are not allowing it’s sale in the uk
My guesses are :
Given the price tag, the car will sell well and production will barely be able to cope at first
Brexit will probably add costs & taxes, in that price range, in the end, it might just not be worth it for the customer
For some weird reason dating back to the middle ages and horse fighting, the UK seem to keep its steering wheel on the wrong side, adding cost to a budget product...
£27k for Tesla? The cheapest Tesla costs much more than £27k
It's £43,490 before government grant and £40,490 after

I just done the online booking for my Dacia Spring. In Romania it will b delivered in Sep 2021. Moreover, taking advantage of a 9200 euro government subsidies for each EV purchase the price of the car is lowered to ~8k euros :D So at this price, you'd be a fool not to take advantage.

You can’t expect more from a car with 33kW of power and a ton of weight. In 70’s, there was 900cc Fiat 127, which has exactly same performance… 33kW and 20s. The Dacia Spring cannot be compared to any modern car.

What a brilliantly practical car for European city dwellers. While a car like this would be too slow for a lot of travel here in the US, even here a car like this would be perfect for large high-traffic city environments like here in Minneapolis-St. Paul. And with a cost this low, I predict HUGE sales. I wish Dacia would sell them here!
When I drive with a Vespa style electric scooter in the city, I am always surprised how fast are only 4 kW for 220 kg (me and the scooter) at accelerating. So even when the Spring is 6 times more heavy, even only 24 kW brings in city traffic a great acceleration.
yeah 44 hp electric for city is prefectly adequate.
19,1 seconds is not good accelerating at all. The Dacia Spring is an electric car, but still slower than any modern internal combustion engine car. Even my old Golf Variant TD is 3,7 seconds faster, and I think it’s slow. Spring has all the disadvantages of an electric car, but not the good ones.
I wish these would exist in the US. Great commuter car with so little energy cost
I understand Dacia is not planning on a RHD model for the UK and other markets.
I’m sure I read that somewhere too Philip.
I don't understand their logic. They already sell cars here, and they must surely understand the market is just waiting for a car like this! They'd be crazy not to offer it in the UK.
I already have a bike. invested in storage space?!? with that power is still able to move with 4 people inside!?!? holly crap!!!
It looks very interesting and could be tempting as a main car.....
Dacia have built a reputation for no-nonsense VFM over 20+ yrs in the UK and are particularly popular for country dwellers who need something rugged for tracks/dog walking/shopping etc.....
I'm sold!
Around where I live, at least for me, it's not a car for me. I need a car for around 400-500 km a week with mostly highways or crappy roads. City driving is not what I do most of the time. But for the purpose I think it's amazing that some car manufacturers try to make the EV market cheaper. The EV market is way to expensive at the moment.
The only sensible comment on this channel ,for most of us in the real world owning an electric car would mean we would also need a fossil fueled car for longer trips
i just wanted to say exactly as Hokitika, thank you for being realistic! :)
(Dah-chi-ah) you said it right !
In Romania it is available at 7700 euros (with an old car given in exchange). The state is giving grants of about EUR 10,400, so the final price is EUR 7,700. It makes it the cheapest electric car in Romania and beyond. For example, Germany subsidizes the purchase of electric cars with EUR 9,570. *Dacia has the most affordable electric vehicle in the European market.*
With Open Pilot 0.8 (comma 2) this car Will be game changer, I Hope so..
No, this car will use a non-fly-by-wire platform. That means there is no automated steering mount on the steering column. You could add one, but.... Huge headache and safety issues
How life is becoming boring , we won't own a car or even drive soon . The future is bleak .
One of the ICEd cars I regularly drive, has no AC, no infotainment screen, has got a cassette player, no cruise control, has just one airbag, is a 2-door and the back windows flip open 50mm. Has drum brakes at the back, no electric seating, no heated seating, no dual-climate control, no LKA or LFA or AEB. It’s 17yrs. old but does over 55mpg and over 60mpg on a long run. So a Spring wouldn’t be a drop in comfort or safety. There must be loads of similar owner-drivers in the same position.
(Though maybe not many if their 17yr. old cars, will have done less than 44,000mi.)
❤️ Dacia Spring Electric ❤️
Quite smart, considering the amount of time spent at zero mile per hour in city traffic. Hope it boosts Renault bottom line.

It would be even better if the battery was modular connect and go and if you needed a 300 mile range you could hire them for the journey or if you found that you needed more you could purchase them …like the fiat centoventi concept car!
Car manufacturers want us to pay through the nose for low spec cars, just look at cars like Corsa E
And they say electric cars are so good...The performance of this car is comparable to a Citroen 2CV, which is an extremely slow, cheap, agricultural car designed in the 1940s. Humanity really is devolving...
Meanwhile the Tesla Model S Plaid is faster round the Nurburgring than any petrol car could dream of. Checkmate!
@@Electroheads meanwhile it costs around 100k. Also if we compared the top speed of a similarly priced gas car, which one would win? Teslas have the top speed of 150mph which is about the same as a golf gti which is a cheap hatchback with a tiny 4 cylinder engine.
Correction: Actually it costs 135k.
I really agree. Never understood why any car needs to run faster than say 130 km/h since almost no roads allow for faster speeds than that anyway (at least in Sweden where 120km is max). I also believe that while acceleration could be nice when overtaking I view it more as a luxury rather than a necessity. The range is quite important for us Nordic people since we need to factor in about 40-50% decrease in range during cold winter days (batteries do not like -20 C). I would say that about 300-400km range (in a temperate climate) would be acceptable for almost all trips in a Nordic environment, even during winter months. But range without cargo space is quite useless since you tend to need the range for vacation and long road trips with friends or family. For such a trip you will need the cargo space, for sure.
heres the thing. Customers dont buy cars for their average usage. they buy them according to their top extreme use cases, visiting grandma in the rurals, road trip to vacation beaches, moving furniture.
That's why so many Fiat 500s have been sold then - all the long drives and moving furniture 😂😂😂

This is how you pronounce it: DA CHI AH. You also have to shout it every time you pronounce it, trust me I'm a Romanian!
Brilliant thanks.
To be this cheap and actually be good looking is quite remarkable
I wouldn't say I'm cheap, but thanks for complimenting my looks
WOW They build in touch screen into dashboard instead like others glue tablet to dashboard.
So who are “they”, and why don’t they want us to buy it?
Well, I've seen on the comments that Renault might not do a right hand drive version (despite the original car being Indian), so... Maybe Renault? And why... Because Mon€¥, it doesn't have to make sense to anyone, just as long as someone somewhere says the company will save a cent
@@javiskii what do you mean by the original car being Indian?
@@nydydn it's based on the Renault Kwid car and platform, originally intended for the Indian market:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Kwid
BTW, on a unrelated note, the electric versions of this platform (namely this Dacia and the Renault versions sold elsewhere) will be produced in China
Edit: fun fact, both markets are right hand drive
Dacia haven't missed a trick using the phone as a radio, even though I have a smart phone I have never had a single piece of music or use it as a radio
... a lot of people appreciate this trick ...! ...
Nice video but I'm sorry to say you need to do more research because this car has a Dacia badge but actually is made in China 100% without any European parts .
Hey! I'm aware it's made in China - and didn't say otherwise
Nice little car
it's a Renault Kwid Electric..
...but safer.
…and more expensive.
6:08 Dacia actually had 2 cars that have that feature, they have a phone holder with a USB, and you connect your phone as your infotainment. The cars are: Logan and Sandero
Imagine a Dacia Vu...
Like you said. Just sometimes you need that extra cargo space. In the same way just sometimes you need the extra power, or the extra range.
Especially in the city you really need acceleration. And I dont know about your place but here there are highways in city with speeds 80 or 100 km/h. You have to drive there to get from one part of the city to another.
It has 120 km/h top speed and in Eco mode it is limited at 100 km/h.
I don't like sharing! I don't share.......
That's gonna fly off the forecourts...
I would like one, but until the local council install some charging facilities my Sandero will have to do.
Its has a petrol version in India in the name of Renault kwid
Perfect pronunciation for Dacia, Rich!
Dah-Chi-Ah
This is a actually a small car on stilts. A converted renault kwid. But a good car
This will be the cheapest new car on the market because you pay half of the price and the Government will pay the other half. So, if they manage to sell this with 17000 euro, you will pay for it only 8500 euro, that is cheaper than any car.
exactly and thats the projected price for european market, higher spec, the lower spec will go for 16500, more expensive for 17500
Your pronunciation of word Dacia is quite good.
Quite happy that Dacia is making a car that people can afford. If this is even close to regular car prices then this will be amazing. Just do not expect great fit and finish as this is a utility car.
Dacia Bigster will be the best Dacia ever made.
