Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Nissan Leaf 52kWh is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.15 s at
81.3 mph against the Dacia Spring Electric 45’s
20.78 s — a margin of
4.63 s. To 60 mph the Nissan Leaf 52kWh takes
7.66 s and the Dacia Spring Electric 45
16.92 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Nissan Leaf 52kWh,
2/2 for the Dacia Spring Electric 45 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Nissan Leaf 52kWh or the Dacia Spring Electric 45 faster?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.15 s to the Dacia Spring Electric 45's 20.78 s, a margin of 4.63 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.66 s against 16.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan Leaf 52kWh 0-60 time?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh reaches 60 mph in 7.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.15 s at 81.3 mph.
What is the Dacia Spring Electric 45 0-60 time?
The Dacia Spring Electric 45 reaches 60 mph in 16.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.78 s at 64.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh trips the lights at 81.3 mph and the Dacia Spring Electric 45 at 64.5 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Nissan Leaf 52kWh and 2 of 2 for the Dacia Spring Electric 45. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
