Dacia Spring: Renault verkauft neuen Billigstromer ab 17.900 Euro
Der französische Autobauer produziert die überarbeitete Version des Dacia Spring künftig in Slowenien. Damit soll das günstige Modell sich besser gegen chinesische Wettbewerber behaupten.
Renault has launched the production of the newly redesigned Dacia Spring, an affordable electric car priced from 17,900 euros. The new model is manufactured in Europe, allowing it to qualify for incentives that favor locally produced vehicles. The Spring is assembled at the Slovenian Novo Mesto plant, which also produces Renault's electric city car Twingo E-Tech.
Since its introduction in 2021, the Spring has sold well; however, competition on the European market has become fiercer. Stellantis offers the Citroën ë-C3 and the Leapmotor T03, while BYD presents the Dolphin Surf. The new Spring is longer and wider than its predecessor, providing more interior space and a larger trunk.
The decision to produce the new Dacia Spring and Renault Twingo in Slovenia is described as "a big bet on Europe" by Renault's Growth Vice President, Fabrice Cambolive. Speaking at a press event, he explained that having both models in production would be better than having only one, Twingo or Spring, to compete against Chinese rivals.
The Spring is built on a new platform and was developed in just 16 months. Renault CEO François Provost aims to bring new models to market more quickly in the future to better compete with Chinese manufacturers.
