Dacia Spring

February 2025

The UK's most affordable electric car arrives on our shores - but is it the bargain it appears to be? On sale Now Price from £14,995

Dacia Spring

THE NUMBER 23, it turns out, is a significant one. In science, the Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, while humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. In basketball, 23 is one of the most sought-after numbers to wear, with Michael Jordan famously associated with it when he played for the Chicago Bulls.

imageMeanwhile, Dacia Spring owners in Europe apparently travel an average of 23 miles a day - at an average speed of 23mph. By this notion, this diminutive new electric car's official range of just 140 miles and maximum power output of 64bhp should be all you need for those short, low-speed journeys, while its inherent simplicity means the Spring can be priced well below its rivals. But does that mean it's a bargain, or is it simply too compromised?

Audi Q6 e-tron - Sport Performance

AS A CHILD, I loved Top Trumps. My favourite deck was Fast Cars, and I could tell you then - as well as now - that the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth takes 6.8sec to reach 60mph from a standstill and the Vector W2 concept pretty much conquers all.
