Dacia Spring's 2026 Upgrade: New LFP Battery, More Power, Better Efficiency
Dacia's Spring electric vehicle is set for a significant upgrade in 2026, with Renault, its parent company, introducing a new 24.3 kWh LFP battery, a first for the group. The Spring will also feature enhanced motors and improved aerodynamics, promising increased performance and efficiency.
The new battery, while smaller in capacity, maintains a maximum range of up to 225 kilometers (WLTP), thanks to its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology. It offers more stiffness and is centrally integrated into the vehicle floor, providing better stability and handling. The electric motors have been beefed up to deliver 52 kW (70 PS) and 75 kW (100 PS), replacing the previous 33 kW (45 PS) and 48 kW (65 PS) units. This results in quicker acceleration, with the 52 kW motor taking the Spring from 0-100 km/h in 10.3 seconds, and the 75 kW motor achieving the same in just 6.9 seconds.
The Spring's braking power has been bolstered with a revised brake booster, while its aerodynamics have been improved with new underbody panels and a modified roof edge spoiler. The electric power steering has been recalibrated, and the suspension elements tuned for a more responsive drive. Higher equipment variants now come with standard 15-inch wheels and stabilizers.
The Dacia Spring 70 and Spring 100 models will benefit from these upgrades, offering improved performance and efficiency without compromising on range. With the comprehensive technical upgrade in 2026, the Spring continues to demonstrate Renault's commitment to affordable, yet capable electric news.
