Have to give Dacia credit here, there are a lot of people that say they want a "small, back to basics simple car with no touchscreen nonsense" and, well, that's absolutely what their current range can offer you. Even in a tiny EV.

I have a first gen (2021, 45hp edition) In spring/summer/autumn, in a hilly area (outside town) with infernal city traffic jams when getting into the city, for my daily commute of total round trip of 60km, I got 320km range. And 290km when running the AC. The true range killer is the heating. In 0°C I get around 150-170km per charge. In -10°C 120-140km per charge. (Still 8 times cheaper than a petrol car in similar traffic and route)

Peanuts to run, commuter vehicle with physical buttons. I'm in!

We just ordered one. This will be our second car. Just to get from a to b. Just the base model. Nothing special. It's gonna be delivered in January. We're so excited 😊 Great review btw!

dont like electric cars as a rule but that little car makes sense . good video

Bought mine in Malta for €9k 😂 I drive less than 100km weekly. Charge at home for around 12c per KW. The Spring was a no brainer ☺️

I like it—it's small and light, like "small and light" used to mean in the '90s.

Thank you for a fair & positive review, not all of us can afford a 40k car.

A small, cheap and somewhat basic EV. Honestly can see it doing well and being very appealing to customers. It's quite a pretty car too, I think. Really like the styling. A very nice little car all round.

We have the first model Spring with only 47 HP... It's perfect for all our short trips, cheap to run and now after 3 years and over 32000 km, we have decided to keep it as long we can as we just think it's great value for what it is. We did upgrade tires and installed aftermarket frunk and center console with armrest - and got it treated so it won't rust.
I can recommend it Even though some people laugh at ud for having it...

Just amazing. I discovered Dacia not too long when I bought a brand new 231 Duster automatic. Seriously good cars at seriously good prices. Can't wait to change my car for the new hybrid Duster!

Really loved this happy review. This is an ideal first car.

I asked a Romianian colleague. It's pronounced DaCheea! Say it fast he told me. Hope this helps. Great reviews fella. I subscribed recently & am very impressed. Keep up the good work....

My Pizza delivery man asked me how I liked my Dacia Logan parked outside. He told me used to work in the factory that makes them in Romania. I immediately asked him how it is pronounced. He said “Dat-cha”.
That’s from a Romanian…from the “horse’s mouth”. Dacia was an ancient kingdom occupying what is now Romania. The Roman Emperor Trajan erected Trajan’s Column in Rome in 115 AD to commemorate his victories in the Dacian Wars. Trajan’s Column is still standing to this day and was the “model” for thousands of other columns, including Nelson’s Column in Dublin.
The Dacia Logan (now replaced by the Jogger) also has the window controls in the dashboard and for some reason has key access in the passenger door but none in the driver’s door. They must have forgotten about it when they moved the steering wheel from the left to the right.

Can't wait until they hit the 2nd hand market at £8k

Fabulous car for the price and great review as ever, the only thing that lets it down is the insurance group of 24 for the 45hp and 25 for the 65hp, I know part of this is down to the lack of safety systems which makes it lighter as a result but ultimately it's going to be expensive to insure.

The original version of this car, the Dongfeng E1 costs only 8000$ in China. There`s also a lux version, that`s even better equipped than this Dacia for 10000$ - Dongfeng Nano Box. It`s the same car, just different stickers ;)

[TheMickOReilly]

Great review -Have to say it looks like a great little car for that price point, ideal little city car with very low ownership and running costs. I think it has only only little problem and that is the Hyundai Inster, the lowest spec on the Inster and the highest spec on the Dacia are fairly close in price but the Inster is miles ahead in every metric, looking forward to your review of the Inster when it's released properly 🙂🙂

This is exactly what I want. The less complexity the better. What was never fitted in the first place will never need repairing.

I like the idea of a low power car. A really good excuse for driving like a grand dad!

I would get some body coloured paint for the street map bumper section!

That is it. In every other way it is ideal for me!

Best wishes from George

With just two pedal [automatic style], there is no reason to roll while engage reverse or forward. Just hold the brake pedal down, apply hand-brake, and carry on as normal. I would never buy a any car ever with an electric parking/emergency brake. Just such a silly solution to a problem that does not exist.

Cracking offer tbf. Not for me right now but i can totally see the appeal
