The Dacia Sandero Becomes Europe’s Best-Selling New Car

The Dacia Sandero has officially claimed the title of Europe’s best-selling new car, leading all sales channels in the first half of 2024 with an impressive 164,789 units sold. This represents an 18.5% increase compared to the same period last year. Since its launch in 2008, the Sandero has sold over 3.1 million units globally, underscoring Dacia’s effective strategy of providing essential features in a modern, durable, and cost-effective vehicle.

In the UK, the Sandero stands out as the best-value new car available. Despite its budget-friendly price, it is well-equipped with a range of desirable features. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control with a speed limiter, electric front windows, and a comprehensive suite of passive and active safety aids. The Dacia Media Control system, which integrates a smartphone with the vehicle’s infotainment system, further enhances the driving experience by offering convenient connectivity and functionality.

At the top of the Sandero range is the rugged Stepway Extreme model, which provides an elevated level of luxury and convenience. This model includes premium features such as keyless entry, automatic wipers, front and rear parking sensors with a reversing camera, an electronic parking brake, automatic air conditioning, and blind spot warning. The Extreme model is also equipped with the Extended Grip system for improved traction and the Media Nav system, which offers full smartphone integration and built-in navigation.

The Extreme model’s distinctive Copper Brown exterior detailing and stylish interior highlights add a touch of sophistication to its robust design. Additionally, the Sandero Stepway boasts practical innovations such as patented modular roof bars that can convert into a roof rack, capable of carrying loads up to 80kg. The ‘My Safety’ button allows drivers to easily deactivate certain advanced driver-assistance systems, enhancing the vehicle’s versatility.

With its combination of affordability, advanced features, and modern design, the Dacia Sandero continues to attract a growing customer base across Europe. Its status as the best-selling new car is a testament to its broad appeal and the ongoing success of Dacia’s approach to delivering value and functionality in the competitive automotive market.

Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Limited, trading as Smiths of Ilkeston, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group, F.P. Smith Motors Limited, trading as Smiths Nissan, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
