After the introduction of Logan saloon,
Logan MCV (seven-seat estate), 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. Dacia Sandero will
progressively go on sale in the majority of European markets starting
from June 2008 and, like other models in the Dacia range, will back up
its unrivalled equipment/price ratio with a three-year/100,000km
warranty in most European countries.
Dacia Sandero is available with a choice of two petrol engines (1.4 75hp
and 1.6 90hp) and two diesel engines (1.5 dCi 68hp and 1.5 dCi 86hp)
which have already proven their worth in numerous other vehicles in the
Renault family and which have actively contributed to the success of the
Dacia range.
The 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol engines
are a perfect match for the cost, robustness and ease of maintenance
values championed by the Dacia brand, and both are renowned for the
availability of high torque at low engine speeds, as well as across a
broad rev-band.
The benchmark 1.5 dCi is acclaimed as
one of the world's most efficient diesel engines. Its advanced
technology includes second-generation common rail direct injection which
delivers high performance and very low fuel consumption. The 1.5 dCi
engine is available in 68hp form and also a more powerful 86hp version
which was launched in September 2007 on Dacia Logan saloon and Dacia
Logan MCV (seven-seat estate). Low CO2 emissions of 120 grams per
kilometre ensure an attractive ecological footprint for the 1.5 dCi
engines of Dacia Sandero.
Details for the arrival of the Dacia
brand and Sandero in the UK will be released nearer to launch.
