Dacia Spring changes face
From a design point of view, the new Dacia Spring features black bands connecting the front headlights and rear lights, emphasizing the width of the vehicle and highlighting the light signature inspired by the Dacia Link emblem. Regarding the paintwork, the color range focuses on four shades: Agave, Schist Grey, Etoilé Black, and Ice White. Elsewhere, there is a black band that visually separates the roof from the bodywork and features a geometric pattern also found inside the cabin.
Tech and renewed interiors
Speaking of the cabin, the dashboard favors horizontal lines, allowing for a more immediate reading of information. The instrument panel features a 7″ digital driver display, while at the center of the dashboard stands out the 10.1″ multimedia touchscreen, accessible to both the driver and the passenger. As for the upholstery, in shades of blue, they recall the tones of the dashboard and the Agave color.
Practicality is found in the numerous storage compartments and in a trunk with a capacity of up to 337 liters, which can be increased to 1,283 liters by folding down the rear bench, which has a 50/50 split modularity.
