Renault's budget brand Dacia has unveiled in 2012 at the Paris Motor Show the second generation of the Sandero, a car from the small-size category, built for the crowded cities.
The Romanian brand Dacia started its journey in the late '60s with a Renault 8 licensed model, followed soon by a license of the Renault 12. And they build the Renault 12 up until 2004 with various improvements, including a single-point injection engine. In 1998, Dacia was acquired by the French group Renault.
The Sandero was a hatchback vehicle produced by Dacia since 2007, based on the Dacia Logan sedan. It shared parts, engines, and drivetrain with the Renault Clio. The Sandero didn't have any angry face or aggressive styling. It went toward a smiley face, with big and extended headlights. On the side, the hatchback design was simple, with slightly sculptured door panels.
The interior continued the basic design from the outside. On the base trim level, the car didn't feature air-conditioning or power windows. Un the upper trim levels it featured automatic climate control, an infotainment unit with navigation and 7” touch-screen display.
Underneath the car there was a simple layout drivetrain with McPherson struts in the front and trailing arms in the rear with a torsion bar (named Type-H by the manufacturer). Various engines were available, including naturally aspirated or turbocharged gasoline and turbodiesel.
