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) has garnered a fiercely loyal following for its honest, no-frills approach and incredible value, consistently ranking as Europe’s best-selling retail car. The latest generation, built on the modern Renault Clio platform, represents a significant upgrade, offering improved driving dynamics, enhanced safety features, and more advanced equipment compared to its predecessor, all while maintaining its famously affordable price point. It provides generous supermini space, comfortably accommodating adults in the rear, and boasts a larger boot than many rivals.

Running costs are notably low, with the manual TCe 90 engine achieving over 53mpg, complemented by reasonable insurance and servicing expenses. Its exceptional residual values, retaining up to 57% of its original value after three years, make it an incredibly smart investment. While the driving experience may not be the most refined and lower trims are basic, higher specifications include a brilliant 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and other desirable features, cementing its position as an astounding value proposition.

Best for: Drivers on a tight budget, those needing a spacious and practical supermini, and buyers seeking excellent value and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior quality, highly refined driving dynamics, or cutting-edge standard technology across all trims.
