Following in the footsteps of the Duster, Dacia’s new supermini the all-new Sandero has arrived and like its chunkier sibling, comes at a shockingly affordable price.

With Dacia’s Duster already shaking up the Irish motor industry, the new 5-door spacious, yet compact Sandero supermini offers cabin space for up to five adults, and a boot capacity of 320 L, yet comes at a price tag of a segment below. For just €9,990, the Dacia Sandero is the cheapest car of its size in Ireland.

One of the fastest growing brands in Europe, Dacia is now the fastest growing network in Ireland as new Dacia Dealers will be announced in the coming days.

Available in Ireland in Alternative and Signature levels, Dacia Sandero is centered on simplicity and eliminating the unnecessary, giving customers the ability to buy exactly what they need and nothing more with the Signature trim level offering further comfort and design.

However, the entry level Sandero comes with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), four airbags, Daytime Running Lights, height adjustable headrests, 60/40 split folding rear seat, electric front windows and Radio with CD, MP3, USB and Bluetooth as standard.

Moving up to the Signature trim level, additional standard equipment includes 15” alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, 7-funtion trip computer, cruise control, front fog lights, manual air conditioning and rear electric windows, all for a shockingly affordable price.

Driveability takes a significant step forward too, the arrival of the new TCe 90 three-cylinder(898cc) petrol engine, a 1.2 16v 75 engine and the 1.5 dCi 90, giving an even better driving experience and less time stuck at the pumps.

It is styled to highlight the versatility of a car that is eminently compact on the outside (1,733 mm wide by 4,058 mm long, overall), yet hugely spacious on the inside. Reliability and practicality come as a given in a modern, dynamic package. Sandero also has excellent ground clearance and underbody protection, capable of standing up to the toughest road conditions.

“Dacia is all about the smart buy and has changed the way people think about buying cars. For the first time, recession struck customers on lower budgets no longer have to make do with a second-hand vehicle.  Reliability is a Dacia fundamental, central to the trust-based relationship we have with our customers. The brand is generous, reliable, simple and smart and these are the reasons why it is the fastest growing brand in Europe. We are also delighted to welcome new Dacia dealers to the fastest growing network in Ireland”, Julien Lelorrain, Marketing Director, Dacia Ireland

Like the rest of the Dacia range, the new Sandero benefits from a 3 year / 100,000 km warranty, extendable up to 5 years unlimited mileage for just €369.
