The exterior showcases black plastic liners on the wheel arches and doors, providing a rugged aesthetic. A standout feature is the illuminated radiator grille, sporting a distinctive “X” design mirrored in the headlight signature. This gives the Spring a more contemporary and recognizable face.

The cabin receives a notable upgrade with a focus on technology and user experience. Key improvements include:
- A seven-inch digital gauge display for essential vehicle data.
- A 10-inch media screen for infotainment and navigation.
- Redesigned ventilation and heating system controls.
Moreover, the interior design incorporates adjustable elements, allowing for customization of the central console and driving mode selection. Practicality is also enhanced with the inclusion of 33 liters of storage space in various niches and pockets.
Performance and Range: Practical Urban Mobility
The 2025 Dacia Spring retains its existing powertrain options, offering two electric motor variants: 33 kW (45 hp) and 48 kW (65 hp).The 26.8 kWh battery provides a range of up to 220 km in combined cycle driving, extending to 305 km in urban environments [[2]].
Charging the battery from 20% to 80% takes approximately 45 minutes using a DC fast charger. However, charging at home using a standard AC outlet will require around 13.3 hours.
