This electric model is officially the UK’s cheapest car – here’s what to know

The Dacia Spring has retaken the position of Britain's cheapest car - (Dacia)

Dacia has reclaimed the title of Britain’s cheapest new car just a day after Chinese brand Leapmotor reduced the price of its Leapmotor T03 model to £12,995. A sizeable price cut for Dacia’s all-electric Spring, has brought the starting price down to £11,990 on the road.

That’s not just enough to put the Chinese-built Spring back ahead of its closest rival, but to do so by a fair margin. The Leapmotor T03 had taken the cheapest-new-car crown for 24 hours with a new £12,995 price after the brand’s Leap-Grant discount was doubled to £3,000. However, the Dacia is now £1,005 less expensive.
