The Dacia Sandero has long been Europe’s best-selling car, and the Romanian brand has decided to expand its range with an all-electric version. The new all-electric Sandero will debut in two years.
Although sales of electric cars in 2024 were not at the expected level, Dacia hopes that their cheapest model in the segment could further attract new customers and ensure better operation in the future when EVs become more popular. Price will play a big role here, and the Sandero is far more competitive with Chinese models than other European cars.
In a recent interview with Car Magazine, the CEO of Automobile Dacia Denis Le Vot said that the new generation of Sandero will also use the existing platform. “There is no reason not to continue with the same platform. It is new, it is five years old, and the electrical architecture is even younger because it appeared when the General Safety Regulations 2 arrived,” Le Vot said.
Dacia has not yet decided which battery will be used in the new Sandero, and is looking for the cheapest option, so buyers of the all-electric version certainly cannot count on a long range. “Every car manufacturer tries to offer their best solution for electric vehicles, which is a range of between 500 and 500 kilometers, as well as a 20-minute charge on the highway. We are definitely not going to do that,” said Le Vot.
