Car Deal of the Day: Who said EVs are expensive? The Dacia Spring is yours for only £116 a month

Dacia’s Spring offers a remarkably low-cost way into EV motoring. It’s our Deal of the Day for 2 May

Dacia Spring Extreme 65 - full front
  • Easy to drive
  • Achievable 140-mile range
  • Just £115.59 a month

Despite new competition in the form of the Leapmotor T03 and other bargain-basement EVs, the Dacia Spring is still the top dog when it comes to deals. 

Why? Well, it’s simple. You can bag the dinky Dacia for a scarcely believable £115.59 a month right now – and that’s considerably cheaper than anything else currently available.

The deal comes from Willow Leasing, via the Auto Express Find A Car service, and requires an initial payment of just £1,685.08 to get the ball rolling. It’s a three-year agreement with mileage capped at 5,000 a year; the allowance can be bumped up to 8,000 a year for under a tenner extra a month.

We’d expect most buyers to opt for the cheaper 5,000-mile deal, as the Spring makes for an ideal commuting car. Its 26.8kWh battery allows for a 140-mile range, while its electric motor packs 44bhp. 

That’s not a lot, admittedly, but it makes the Spring sprightly enough for town work, and its tiny dimensions mean parking is a breeze. Plus, we’ve found that 140-mile claim to be very accurate. 

The Spring is a five-door car with room for four and there’s a surprisingly large 308-litre boot. The interior is smartly designed, and while the plastics are a bit scratchy, it all feels sturdy enough and is in keeping with the Dacia’s charmingly cheap character.

This deal is for the entry-level Expression model, but it has the basics covered, including a seven-inch digital driver’s display, air-conditioning, rear parking sensors and six airbags. There’s no touchscreen, but you do get a natty little smartphone holder that turns your phone into an infotainment system.     

The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK.
