If I have learned one thing after about 20 years of writing about cars, it is often the wrong time to buy a new. When the competition intensifies, automakers refresh more often to maintain competitors, so you are rarely getting the best version of a model. In the past, the middle cycle refresh was the only major change, but now it is not.
For example, take the cheapest electric car in Europe. Desiya gave spring an important face in 2024, yet a better version continues. For 2026, the budget friendly EV receives a lot of powerful motors. The base model, which was previously limited to 45 HP, now provides 70 HP, while the high -term jumps from 65 HP to 100 HP.

As you can imagine, the performance difference is very high. The twenty version is now painfully slowed down to 50 to 75 mph (80 to 120 km per hour) in 10.3 seconds instead of 26.2 seconds. Choose a strong motor, and this interval falls from 14 seconds to 6.9 seconds. Dysia says these speeds have a 20 % more electricity and torque, making it easier for the spring to maintain speed with traffic outside the urban areas.
The upgraded motors pull energy from a new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a capacity of 24.3 kW. Renault’s first electric car to use this chemistry. It also supports DC charging more than 30 kW, which is more than 30 kW, which can allow 20-80 % charge in just 29 minutes.

Even more changes are barely reaching a year after the fee elevator. Dysia’s Patest EV finally acquired an anti -roll bar to improve cornering stability. Engineers have also regained shock absorbers and suspension springs and upgraded the brake. Further dispersion about bodywork has reduced the drag Gatanik from 0.745 to 0.660.
The Chinese spring will eventually make a way to a new entry level EV based on the upcoming renal Tongo, which will likely start around € 18,000. This A-class model has already been presented through a design outline, depicting a Baxi, straight hachback before the first film of 2026.
