Dacia decided that it was not worth developing its own electric vehicle since it was able to strike a deal with parent company Renault to sell a version of the Renault City K-ZE. And in spite of its Chinese and Indian market roots, the Dacia Spring is proving surprisingly popular in Europe (46,000 orders so far) where it is the cheapest EV that is actually a real car, not a quadricycle.
Now during Renault’s yesterday financial results conference, company CEO Luca de Meo confirmed that a new Spring is in the works and that it will debut in 2024. It won’t be related to the Renault 4 and Renault 5 models (built on the CMF-B platform), but it will be its own model (built upon CMF-A), not another rebadged Chinese import.
