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 specsOffers up a respectable 89bhp and has a six-speed manual gearbox standard (although you can pay extra for an automatic). Performance isn't the Sandero's strongest suit, but in our tests it managed 0-60mph in 11.0sec.
