Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:The Dacia Spring is a full electric car designed for city driving. It features 45 horsepower and an electric range of 230 kilometers. It's a small, compact car at 3.74 meters long and 1.58 meters wide.
The front design includes an LED daytime running light and a halogen normal light, which the reviewer questions due to energy usage. The charging port is in the middle of the car.
The car can be charged at a fast charging station and also at a wall box, with a maximum charge rate of 30 kilowatts per hour. Charging from 10% to 80% takes around 50 minutes. The total battery capacity is 26.8 kilowatts.
The engine compartment is spacious. The hood requires a cable to keep open, which is seen as unstable.
The vehicle's price starts at 22,750 euros. The model being reviewed costs around 25,000 euros.
The car has small, 14-inch rims, with everything being made of plastic. Drum brakes are on the back, while disc brakes are in the front.
The back storage is 290 liters but goes up to 1100 liters. The cables for the trunk light make the cable placement less than ideal.
The back seats are minimalistic. The reviewer, who is around 5’11”, finds legroom limited. The seats are made of leather but are uncomfortable over long rides. There are electric windows but no climate control or USB ports in the back.
The interior has a basic, plastic design that is acceptable at the price point. The steering wheel lacks cruise control but features a speed limiter. All the window buttons are in the middle. A small display shows speed, range, and temperature.
The unadjustable steering wheel and seat can make longer drives less comfortable. It has weak sound insulation around 60 km/h
Zero to 100 kilometers per hour acceleration takes 23.38 seconds, far from Dacia's claimed 19.1 seconds. Overtaking a biker is easy and the 45 horsepower seems to be performing well.
The final verdict is that the Dacia Spring is a good car for city driving, and that a long drive would be unpleasant. Overall it is a pure city car, perfect for short commutes.
