CITY CARS “INTERESTING CHALLENGE”
Asked whether Dacia could usher in a new city car, Miles Nurnberger said: “They’ve become very difficult to do, but it’s an interesting challenge. We could look at it. There’s definitely still a place for those cars, even though government policy isn’t really for lightweight hatchbacks with efficient engines at the moment.”
The urban-focused Spring
Electric, currently Europe’s cheapest EV, is based on the Chinese-market Renault City K-ZE, and it will be replaced entirely in 2024.
It will continue to use the group’s smallest platform, CMF-A (and thus be smaller than Renault’s Cmf-b-based 5), but is due to be brought closer into line with other Dacias, given it will no longer be a rebadged Renault.
