  • Easy to drive
  • Cheap to run
  • 140-mile range

The Dacia Spring is the first electric car from the budget-friendly manufacturer, and there’s much to like about this affordable, small electric car. Aside from its attractive, low pricing, the Spring offers solid on-road manners and impressive manoeuvrability plus, of course, it will be cheap to run. If you’re after a city runabout or a second set of wheels, Dacia’s latest offering has to be worth some consideration.

All-electric cars are rapidly becoming more accessible, both in terms of price and the increased variety now on offer. This four-year PCH (Personal Contract Hire) offer from Select Car Leasing Dacia via Carwow requires an initial payment of £1,863.48, followed by monthly instalments of just £130.79. And, if you plan on using the Spring as a back-up car, or for shorter urban trips, then this deal’s 5,000-mile annual limit should be fine.

This particular Spring model comes in Expression specification which, despite the car’s low-cost approach, still provides a decent level of standard equipment. Rear parking sensors, air-conditioning and cruise control all come as part of the package, while there’s a mounting point for your smartphone instead of a regular infotainment screen, and a seven-inch digital instrument panel. Active safety kit isn’t forgotten either, with emergency braking assist, lane-keep assist, and traffic-sign recognition all included.

For a relatively small car, the Spring still manages to offer decent space for up to four passengers, with the only concession being that rear legroom feels a bit tight. Overall practicality is good, with Isofix points on the two rear seats, and a 308-litre boot – a load capacity that easily outshines more expensive, battery-powered options such as the Vauxhall Corsa Electric (267 litres).

The Spring’s 140-mile range should be fine for daily urban adventures, while investing in a home charging set-up will allow you to return an empty battery back to 100 per cent charge in around five hours.

All of our EV Deal of the Day choices are chosen from the providers on our parent site Carwow. Our experts choose the best deals on cars we’re happy to recommend.
