Customers can pick the car that suits them without sacrificing reliability because these cars are built to withstand the toughest conditions imaginable. Dacia has seemingly come up with the perfect balance of price, quality, facilities and reliability that has lead to them being a global success. Following the brand\u2019s reintroduction in April 2013, Dacia has sold 78,000 vehicles in the UK and since their 2004 Renault re-launch, 4 million have hit the road in total and the company shows no signs of slowing any time soon.Dacia leads the Romanian and Moroccan markets, they were voted Germany\u2019s second favourite manufacturer, France has listed Dacia as the 5th bestselling passenger car brand and now this company has the UK firmly in its sights. The internationally recognised brand was bought by Renault in 1999 and together they have created a global icon, recognised internationally for supplying cars of the finest quality without a hefty price tag.The Dacia Logan and Sandero are among the cheapest cars in Britain, making them a tempting alternative to other budget, entry-level cars.Prices are made clear from the very start and vehicle specifications cover all of the basic essentials, without customers having to pay for a bunch of extra features they would never even use. A life without luxuries doesn\u2019t always have to be a bad thing, sometimes its good to get back to basics and just….drive your car!Dacia vehicles are simple to use and their technology is proven to work since it is taken from the Renault-Nissan Alliance. In the last 12 years, Dacia has been growing at an incredible rate, the fastest growth of a car brand in Europe in fact. Would you consider swapping gadgets, gizmos and fancy styling for a simple, robust package that does exactly what it says on the tin? If so, Dacia is the brand for you!"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Invasion of Dacia","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/the-invasion-of-dacia\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
