2025 Dacia Spring starts at 10,990 euros

Two months ago, the Romanian automaker unveiled the redesigned 2025 Dacia Spring, currently its only electric model. At that moment, all the details about the vehicle were published, except for the price. Now we know that too. The Essential version will cost 16,900 euros (including VAT), while the Expression and Extreme versions will cost a little more (up to 19,900 euros including VAT).

Most EU member states still offer subsidies for electric vehicles, which means lower prices that will go from 11,800 euros for the Essential, 13,800 euros for the Expression and 14,800 euros for the Extreme. However, Dacia has prepared special prices for all customers who order this model. This means that the price for the Essential version will start from 10,990 euros, while the Extreme version will start from 13,990 euros. Also, in some countries, everyone who orders the Extreme version by the end of May will receive a 400 euro discount.

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.

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.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato All Terrain Limited Edition

In November 2023, Lamborghini introduced its new off-road vehicle, the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. However, apparently the Italian car manufacturer realized that they could offer more, so they presented the limited edition Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato All Terrain.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato All Terrain Limited Edition

The car is inspired by four different terrains: snow (NEVE), sand (SABBIA), gravel (BOSCO) and deserts (TERRA), for which the Sterrato was designed. Each of the four versions features unique color schemes, all cars share a matte black roof and matte black elements along the lower exterior. Lamborghini has also fitted the brackets in the same color as the cross bars, and each car will be mounted on matte black 19-inch forged wheels.

“The All-Terrain Sterrato is a true Lamborghini in its dynamic abilities and the way it surprises by delivering the unexpected. The Sterrato concept developed by our Centro Stile has been elevated together with our Ad Personam department to emphasize the different dimensions of the Sterrato’s multi-faceted character and talents, and truly emphasizes its fun-to-drive, go-anywhere personality,” says Design Director Mitja Borkert.

Lamborghini will produce 12 cars in partnership with the Ad Personam program and the Lamborghini Centro Stile department. Each will be equipped with brightly colored brake calipers, while the interior is adorned with special details including dark chrome and carbon twill with Alcantara. There are also unique Sterrato graphics and Ad Personam plates with the name of the version, touch screen, four-point safety harness, carbon bi-shell sports seats and aluminum floor mats.

Under the bonnet will be a centrally located naturally aspirated 5.2 L V10 engine with 610 hp (449 kW) and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h).

2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 250

In 1951, Toyota launched a series of four-wheel drive vehicles, the Land Cruiser, which over the years acquired the status of indefatigable cars capable of overcoming all types of terrain in all conditions. The new Toyota Land Cruiser 250 is the latest in the series.

The latest generation is 4925 mm long, 1980 mm wide and 1935 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2850 mm. It is built on a standard design for these models, capable of handling harsh conditions and easy to replace if damaged.

A long hood, upright windshield, short front overhang, a three-element front LED arrangement or a classic bi-LED projector with a round element along with vertically mounted direction indicators and daytime running lights, distinctive wheel arches, adorn the front of the vehicle. The fog lights are tucked into the bumpers while the front and rear corners are designed for better maneuverability and the lower parts of the doors have a scraped, concave surface. Depending on the version, the car will come with 18-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels with a new design.

Inside, the focus is on the driver. The multimedia screen is placed higher for easier visibility. The digital instrument cluster (9 or 12.3 inches, depending on trim level) displays gauges and data with sharp graphics, which are clearly readable in all lighting conditions. The multimedia system is accessed via a high-resolution touch screen (8 or 12.3 inches).

When it comes to the powertrain, the latest generation in Europe comes with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine with 204 hp (150 kW) at 3,000 rpm and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque at 2,800 rpm, paired with a new eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. Acceleration performance and driving characteristics have been improved, noise and vibration levels have been reduced and handling in difficult conditions has been improved.

For the year 2025, Toyota announced the arrival of the first generation Land Cruiser with a mild hybrid drive.
