The model
Read full Dacia Sandero reviewOften the verdict for a car costing this little would be ‘cheap but not great’. Not here, though. The Sandero is one of the great all-rounders and is especially strong when it comes to practicality, while our favourite TCe 100 Bi-Fuel engine adds the potential for lower running costs. Only a disappointing Euro NCAP safety score lets the side down.
The trim
See full equipmentWe’d recommend going for Expression trim if you can. It’s still astonishing value but comes with lots of extra toys over entry-level Essential, including rear parking sensors, automatic lights and windscreen wipers, keyless entry and a touchscreen infotainment system.
The engine
See full engine specsThis Bi-Fuel version benefits from a bit more power than the TCe 90 and can run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as well as regular unleaded. When running on LPG, it feels stronger from low engine speeds than the TCe 90 and, crucially, is also smoother and quieter. For that reason, it’s our pick of the range.
