Dacia has confirmed that the new highly anticipated fully electric ‘Spring’ model will be launched in Ireland in mid-2024.
Dacia Ireland says that this will be an all-new version, enhanced by several significant improvements in design and equipment to the original Spring, available in many European left-hand drive markets.
In fact, it is already widely credited with making electric mobility widely accessible in Europe, 120,000 Spring models have been sold since its introduction to European left-hand-drive markets in 2021.
The current versions of the compact electric crossover is offered in Europe with a choice of 45PS or a 65PS electric motor powertrain and a 26.8kWh battery. This promises to give a range of 219-230 kilometres (WLTP) and over 300 kilometres in typical urban driving.
It has not been confirmed yet whether the same powertrain options will be offered here in the new model next year.
Patrick Magee, Dacia country operations director for Ireland, said: “We are delighted that Dacia Spring will come to Ireland in 2024. It fills a niche in the Irish electric car market for a highly usable, quality EV that won’t break the bank and which makes electric vehicle ownership more realistic than ever.
“With over 120,000 customers already sold on the Spring’s unbeatable, ‘no-nonsense’ blend of value, efficiency and durability, Irish car buyers can look forward to an EV that’s perfectly aligned to their mobility requirements and, importantly, is done the Dacia way.”
Full details, including timings, pricing and specification, will be announced next year in advance of the Irish launch of the all-new electric Dacia Spring.
