Ian Robertson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel&EcoCar and organiser of the annual awards, explained why the magazine singled out the All-New Dacia Spring as 2024’s most wanted EV:
“British buyers have looked on jealously at other European markets that have been able to buy the first-generation Spring since its arrival in showrooms during 2021. After pleading with Dacia and stamping our feet, now we will be able to see what all the fuss is about in a considerably enhanced version of the pure electric city car. With prices starting from just £14,995, it’s the cheapest electric car on sale in the UK bar none, and October can’t come around fast enough. Amongst our readers, it’s the car that arrives in 2024 that has created the biggest buzz, generated the most number of questions, and demanded lots of answers.”
Luke Broad, Brand Director, Dacia UK, said:
“With an ever-increasing number of UK car buyers wanting to switch to an electric car but high initial prices being a recognised barrier, there’s huge appetite for a usable, well-equipped and affordable EV. We are thrilled that so many people are looking forward to its arrival and, like them, we can’t wait for the All-New Spring to hit our shores – it really does have the potential to be the game-changing EV that people need.”
