Great News Everyone! Dacia Sandero To Cost 5,995

Great news everyone! The Dacia Sandero will apparently cost £5,995, or about $9,600 in its cheapest trim level, when it goes on sale in the UK tomorrow.

Full pricing and specs will be released Wednesday, but with the Duster SUV retailing for £8,995 (just under $15,000), the smaller, less prestigious Sandero could conceivably occupy the rock-bottom price point. The Telegraph, claims that the cheap sticker is accompanied by improved interior materials and lots of borrowed switch gear. It would be easy to make jokes about how French quality is an improvement from Romanian quality, but our own Marcello de Vasconcellos drives a Brazilian-spec Logan (the sedan version) and assures us that it’s muito bem inside and out.

    Somewhere, Captain Slow is smiling to himself right now.

    It may well be that this segment will continue to grow in Europe. In the bigger cities, congestion, decent public transportation and outrageous gas prices make a car a hardly used accessory that some people start five times a month or less.

    UK cars are normally hugely overpriced compared to the continent. Is this for tax reasons, or are the car companies just gouging the Brits? If it is the latter it looks like that is starting to end with Dacia.

      Well if they'd drive on the same side of the road as everyone else,they could save quite a few lbs by not having to pay for a RHD dashboard.BTW,is that dude ever gonna dump that 70's Zeppelin stadium era John Paul Jones haircut? JPJ isn't even wearing it anymore.

    Hi Derek! Slight correction. The Logan is 'muito bom'. 'Muito bem' means very well. Muito bom is very good. :)!
