If one thing you learned after nearly 20 years of writing about cars, it is that buying a new one often happens in the wrong time. With the intensification of the competition, automobile companies offer updates frequently to keep pace with competitors, so you rarely get the best model. In the past, the mid -session update was the only main change, but this is no longer the case.
Take the cheapest electric car in Europe, for example. Dacia gave the spring a A major plastic surgery in 2024However, an improved version is already on the way. For the year 2026, the budget -friendly EV acquires more powerful engines. The basic style, which was previously limited to 45 hp, offers 70 hp, while the upper pieces jump from 65 hp to 100 hp.

As you can imagine, the performance gap is huge. The primary version is now accelerating from 50 to 75 miles per hour (from 80 to 120 km/h) in 10.3 seconds instead of painfully 26.2 seconds. Choose the strongest engine, and this break decreases to 6.9 seconds from 14 seconds. Dacia says that there are up to 20 percent of the strength and determination between these speeds, which facilitates the spring to keep pace with traffic outside the urban areas.
The engines that promote energy are derived from the new Lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) with a capacity of 24.3 kWh; The first electric car from Renault to use this chemistry. DC charging it also supports faster at 40 kW, an increase of 30 kW, allowing shipping 20-80 % in just 29 minutes.
Even more changes barely arrive a year after a plastic surgery. Petite EV finally acquires an antidote to improve the stability of turns. Engineers also re -absorbed shocks and suspension springs and upgraded the brakes. Other improvements to the car structure lower the cloud laboratory from 0.745 to 0.660 on 14 -inch wheels.
China -built spring will eventually give a way to enter EV for new beginners based on the upcoming Renault Twingo, which is expected to start with about 18,000 euros. Category A model has already been seen through Design Hatchback appears similar to the box before appearing in 2026.
