Dacia is building *another* small electric car that’ll cost less than £15.5k

Dacia already makes a small, cheap (relatively speaking) electric car, and it’s called the Spring. Good one, too. But now it has announced that it is building an entirely new and different small, cheap (relatively speaking) electric car, and it’s called the… well, we don’t know yet.

Chiefly because this small, cheap new electric car is part of Dacia’s shiny new plan that’ll see four new EVs launched by 2030; a plan it calls “confident and decisive”.

Decisive because this new tiny EV was apparently developed in less than 16 months, and confident because Dacia will charge less than €18,000 for it. That’s sub-£15.5k.

We know it’ll use the same ‘AmpR Small’ platform that underpins the brilliant little Renault 5, but we don’t of course know what it’ll look like.

So we sincerely hope it’ll use the same design language that underpins the brilliant little Hipster revealed last October (pictured above). That kei car-inspired concept was basically a dinky, pared-back box on wheels – Dacia’s take on the original Mini – and we’re all here to see a production version of it.

Speaking of Dacia’s shiny plan: there’ll be this EV, that new Striker, a hybrid next-gen Sandero, and more LPG and 4x4 derivatives. More as we get it.
