Dacia sold more cars than Renault

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) announced sales results in Europe for the first month of 2024, according to which 1,015,381 cars were sold. That is 11.5 percent more compared to the first month of last year. One detail that attracted attention is that Dacia, as part of the Renault Group, delivered more cars than Renault.

In January, the Renault Group sold only 92,935 cars, which is the worst result of all European manufacturers. That is 2.1 percent less compared to the same period in 2023, and of all brands within the group, Dacia sold the most cars (51,673 units), which is a growth of 7.7 percent, and 10,000 cars more than Renault. The French manufacturer delivered only 41,050 cars (-12.2 percent).

Among all European manufacturers, the Volkswagen Group had the best result with 258,402 cars sold, achieving growth of 8.1 percent, mainly thanks to Skoda, Audi, Seat and Cupra. Volkswagen did not achieve the expected result, because it sold 5,202 cars less than in 2023.

The second best in Europe was Stellantis with 183,120 cars, which is a growth of 16.9 percent. Peugeot was the best-selling brand with 57,447 cars, achieving a growth of 22.8 percent compared to January 2023.

This is a good result for Dacia, which unveiled the new redesigned Dacia Spring a few days ago. The car will be powered by an electric motor with a power of 45 or 65 HP (34 – 48 kW). It is equipped with a 26.8 kWh battery that enables a range of 220 kilometers. Many will say that the range is too short, but research has shown that buyers of this model drive an average of 37 kilometers per day, so 220 km is quite enough.

2025 Dacia Spring

After the recently published teaser on Dacia France’s “X” (Twitter) account with the description “Coming soon…stay tuned!”, Dacia has unveiled the new redesigned Dacia Spring.

Dacia Spring was premiered four years ago, and two years later the front fascia and the new Dacia logo were redesigned. Last year it was introduced with the Extreme equipment with more functions and power. Dacia Spring is powered by an electric motor with a power of 45 or 65 HP (34 – 48 kW), and is equipped with a 26.8 kWh battery that enables a range of between 220 and 225 kilometers WLTP.

The new redesigned edition brings a revised front grille, front LED lights, new logo, redesigned fenders, while the charging socket remains in the center of the hood. Redesigned rear part reminiscent of the Sandero Stepway with LED lights connected by a black strip, which also integrates the brand name. Despite the improvements, the car still weighs less than a ton (984 kg). Dacia also offers a wide range of body colors (6) including two new ones: Safari Beige and Brick Red.

The interior of the new Dacia Spring is now much more practical. The seats are covered with dark eco leather with brown stitching. The steering wheel is adjustable in height for the first time, and behind it is a digital instrument panel with a 7-inch adjustable screen. The media control system is standard from the Essential and Expression packages. Also, the volume of the luggage space has been increased to 308 liters.

Dacia has also taken care of passenger safety, so now the new Spring is equipped with an automatic emergency braking system with the function of detecting vehicles, pedestrians and motorcyclists, a system for recognizing traffic signs with a warning for exceeding the permitted speed, rear parking assistance, an emergency stop signal, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, driver attention control system, and emergency call (eCall).

When it comes to the powertrain, the Dacia Spring is still powered by a single electric motor with 45 or 65 hp (34 – 48 kW). It is equipped with a 26.8 kWh battery that enables a range of 220 kilometers. Many will say that the range is too short, but research has shown that buyers of this model drive an average of 37 kilometers per day, so 220 km is quite enough.

The price has not been announced.

2024 Dacia Spring Coming Soon

Dacia Spring is currently one of the most affordable electric cars in Europe, but increasing competition forced Dacia to work on an improved version of this model. The car could soon hit the market, and its arrival was announced by an official teaser published on Dacia France’s “X” (Twitter) account with the description “Coming soon…stay tuned!”.

Visually, the refreshed version brings a redesign of the front part with lights like those on the Duster, but also a redesigned rear part reminiscent of the Sandero Stepway. Also, the Tesser shows slightly larger wheels, but also that the ground clearance has been increased, giving the vehicle height despite the lack of roof racks. It is not known whether there was a change in the cabin. More information will be known after the premiere.

Dacia Spring was premiered four years ago, and two years later the front fascia and new Dacia logo were redesigned. Last year it was introduced with the Extreme trim with more features and power. Dacia Spring is powered by a single electric motor with 45 or 65 hp (34 – 48 kW), and is equipped with a 26.8 kWh battery that enables a range of between 220 and 225 kilometers WLTP.
