Production on the new affordable electric vehicle has begun and is expected to be completed in just 16 months, a significantly shorter timeframe than typical projects.
- Dacia is developing a compact electric city car based on the same platform as the forthcoming Renault Twingo EV.
- The new Dacia electric vehicle will be the result of an unusually short 16-month development period and is scheduled to debut sometime in 2026.
- It will cost €18,000 or approximately €2,000 more than its Renault counterpart.

Designed to be as affordable as possible to keep its cost low for markets such as India, Dacia extensively reworked the original Renault model, but many of its compromises and weaknesses, like performance and safety, are still present in the Spring.

The production of this car is expected to be around 40% less costly for Renault due to a reduction of 30% in the number of parts used, with only 750 components making up the entire vehicle, a remarkably low number considering modern car standards.
