After the introduction of Logan, Logan MCV, Logan Van and Logan Pick-up, Dacia continues to broaden its range with the release of a generously-dimensioned, five-door hatchback: Sandero. The newcomer is manufactured in Pitesti, Romania and benefits from all the fundamental qualities that have become a hallmark of the Dacia range, namely ample cabin space, a high load capacity and robust build.

Like the Dacia range's other models, Dacia Sandero represents unrivalled value for money which is backed up by a three-year or 100,000 km warranty. It will retail in the majority of European markets at an entry level tax-paid price of less than €8,000.

The fruit of genuine expertise

Like all Dacia models, Sandero is the fruit of a unique development model which combined three factors to ensure unmatched performance and equipment for its price. These were the adoption of the design-to-cost concept throughout its design, the carry over of parts from other Renault Group models in order to optimize reliability and production costs, and the use of digital design technologies which do away with the need for costly prototypes.

Contemporary lines

Dacia Sandero stands out as a modern hatchback with appealing looks that convey both dynamism and robustness. The front features modern, expressive headlamps and a grille and bumper that blend harmoniously with the bodywork. Its lateral lines form an “upturned wave” and underpin the impression of solidity, thanks notably to the broad side protective strips (according to version).

The rear styling reinforces the sense of a generously proportioned, spacious and wellbuilt vehicle. Besides the notions of robustness and peace of mind were widely acclaimed during customer tests. To enhance Dacia Sandero’s bold styling, an SUV kit will be available from launch in the majority of European countries. This kit includes front and rear spoilers, foglamp guards and side skirts to give the car authentic all-terrain looks.

The same resolve to appeal to customers and showcase its quality continues inside the car. The new dashboard has been thought through to be both modern and functional, while there is also the opportunity to combine different colours and surface finishes in several areas (according to version). The design of the door panels also contributes to the cabin's modern feel thanks to the Smart handles and decorative trim strips (according to version).

All the essential features of a modern hatchback

To mark the upgrade in range, Dacia Sandero is available with three dashboard trims and coordinated upholsteries. Particular attention was paid to produce an uncluttered, practical driving environment, with easy-to-read instruments and controls which fall readily to hand.
