Overview
- The new German EV grant of up to €6,000 paired with Dacia’s €5,000 manufacturer bonus drops the entry price to roughly €5,900 for qualifying buyers.
- Dacia says its €5,000 bonus applies alongside state funding until revoked, limited to contracts signed between January 1 and February 28, 2026, with registration by September 30, 2026.
- Eligibility for the maximum state grant depends on income limits, including a taxable household income cap of €80,000 that increases per child.
- A TÜV analysis reports a 20.5-times-above-average rate of suspension and axle defects on two- to three-year-old cars, the model holds one Euro NCAP star, and the ADAC labeled the 45‑PS variant a safety risk, with a KBA seatbelt recall on record.
- Dealer offers advertised leases from €29 per month but required about €6,000 down and strict 5,000‑km annual limits, suiting short, urban use.
