Dacia Sandero (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very cheap to buy	Modest safety standards
Roomy and practical cabin	Stingy list of standard kit
Affordable to fuel and insure	Basic fit and finish

Quick Summary

The Dacia Sandero (2021-present) is lauded for its no-frills honesty and incredible value, maintaining its status as Europe's best-selling retail car. Built on the latest Renault Clio platform, it offers improved safety and luxury features while remaining one of the cheapest new cars available. It provides generous supermini space, comfortably accommodating tall adults in the rear and offering more boot space than most rivals, with split-folding seats on all but the entry-level model, making its practicality impressive for its price point.

While not the last word in precision, the new Sandero offers a decent driving experience, feeling secure and predictable with good suspension. The 1.0-litre TCe 90 engine provides eager enough power for relaxed driving, and an optional CVT automatic gearbox offers a smoother experience. Tech has improved, with Expression models featuring an excellent 8.0-inch touchscreen and useful amenities. Running costs are low, with the TCe 90 achieving over 53mpg, affordable insurance, and reasonable servicing. Its exceptional residual values also mean it protects its initial low investment remarkably well.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a roomy and practical supermini, and buyers looking for affordable running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising advanced safety features, those wanting a luxurious interior or extensive standard kit, or drivers seeking a highly refined or powerful driving experience.

Its use of a modern platform brings improved safety and technology compared to its predecessor, while still retaining a remarkably low price point. Although it may lack the premium feel or advanced safety features of some rivals, its honest approach, spacious cabin, and strong residual values make it an incredibly sensible and attractive choice for budget-conscious buyers.
