In November 2021, the Dacia Spring stole the spotlight from the Renault Zoe and Tesla Model 3 in terms of registrations.
With its compact size, tiny wheels, or Spartan interior, the Dacia Spring goes against the grain of the automotive market, which is otherwise moving toward widespread adoption of crossovers and SUVs. Especially in the 100% electric category, where size entails a certain weight, which in turn requires a larger battery capacity, which requires a bigger size… A vicious circle.
However, consumers say they often look for a simple vehicle, mainly used to get from point A to point B, at the lowest possible price. With its 290 km range (WLTP) and starting at €12,400 after ecological bonus, and even less when combined with other aids like the conversion premium, the Dacia Spring perfectly meets this need.
This can be inferred from the sales figures in the French automotive market, compiled by PFA based on AAA Data’s data.
Indeed, the Dacia Spring was the best-selling electric vehicle in November 2021, with 2,895 registrations, ahead of another Renault group car, the Zoe (2,189 registrations). Moreover, although deliveries only started this fall, it has already become the fourth best-selling electric car since January 2021, with 8,599 registrations. Tesla Model 3 remains the year’s best-seller with 20,952 registrations to date, just ahead of Renault Zoe’s 20,041 registrations.
Another vehicle recently shook up the norms: the Citroën Ami, a “license-free” car sold starting at €7,000. However, this small car does not appear in the same ranking.
