Technic
The Dacia Spring is a 3.73 meter short electric hatchback that exceeds the Twingo in length by 14 centimeters. The Romanian peppered with crossover accents has 300 liters of luggage space. Each Dacia Spring has a 44 hp and 125 Nm strong electric motor. There is a 26.8 kWh battery in the bottom, good for a range of 225 WLTP kilometers.
The top speed is 125 km / h. With a 30 kW DC charger, the package can be filled up to 80 percent of its capacity in less than an hour. You need 5 hours on a 7.4 kW Wallbox to fill the package completely. If you plug the Dacia into a 3.7 kW Wallbox, you have to take 8.5 hours to fully recharge an empty battery. No wallbox? No problem. If you hang it on the wall socket at home, the package will be completely full again in just under 14 hours. Still loading stress? Then activate the Eco mode while driving. This reduces the power to 31 hp and the top speed is limited to 100 km / h.
The Dacia Spring Electric is equipped with six airbags as standard and has ABS, ESP and an automatic emergency braking system. The safety of the Spring is therefore at a higher level than that of the Renault Kwid, the small Renault on which the Spring is in fact based. The model is in fact the version of the Renault K-ZE adapted for the European market, which has been for sale in China for a while.
