Is the Dacia Sandero still the king of low-cost cars at 157 euros per month without a down payment?

Renewed this year, the Dacia Sandero continues its successful run with an unchanged recipe: everything essential at a low price.

All of Dacia’s success is based on its philosophy “a new car at the price of a used one.” A success symbolized by the Sandero, which is officially again this year the best-selling new car in Europe. A prestigious title it has held since 2017!

Since its introduction in 2008, Dacia has sold over 3.1 million units of the Sandero. The recipe for success has remained unchanged, offering a modern, robust, and affordable essential product. The 2024 Dacia Sandero comes standard with air conditioning, cruise control/limiter, power front windows, and, of course, all legally required driver aids.

Dacia faithful to its philosophy

But today, you can also want a stylish Sandero. For this, there is the top-of-the-line Extreme version, equally well-equipped and attractive with its body color options. Dacia’s greatest strength is offering a base version at a very low price for each model, then gradually enhancing the model with different versions to reach an ultra-rich variant. One constraint: a Dacia must always maintain an Outdoor look and embody a durable and robust philosophy. This is called a broad spectrum, and it’s much easier to describe than to implement! It’s hard to still talk about low-cost cars, especially when you look at the price.

Priced under 12,500 euros, the Sandero remains an accessible family car, but leasing offers are of course more attractive as they prevent draining your bank account with a simple signature on a purchase order. For example, you can find a 49-month long-term rental (LDD) for 157 euros per month, with no down payment, on a Sandero Essential SCe 65. It is equipped with a small 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine producing 65 horsepower and 95 Nm of torque. To get around daily without breaking the bank, this is very relevant, with an official combined WLTP cycle consumption of 5.3 liters / 100 km.
