Dacia is celebrating reaching 200,000 sales in the UK after launching the brand eight years ago since the brand launched to market. Dacia has consistently built a strong application of offering consumers essential, practical and robust vehicles all for a shockingly affordable price.
When Dacia launched in the UK in 2013, the range included the second-generation Sandero and the first-generation Duster which brought unprecedented and unrivalled value to UK consumers for the first time. Quickly followed by the Logan MCV, the Dacia brand grew from strength to strength, mirroring its success across Europe.
Private buyers in the UK are reaping benefits of Dacia’s unbeatable value with 89 per cent of the 200,000 sales made up by retail customers.
The rough and tough charm of the Sandero Stepway that has captured the imagination, making up for around 60 per cent of all Sandero sales. The car balances SUV styling cues in a compact, spacious body with low running costs.
In fact, top-spec Laureate dCi 90 and TCe 90 specifications make up the top three Sandero models sold since 2013 alongside the regular Sandero Ambiance SCe75 form.
Duster and Logan MCV owners have favoured top-spec Laureate models too, with the trim being most popular to date. Powered by dCi powertrains over any other, these models offer unbeatable value providing Dacia customers really can have their cake and eat it.
Glacier White is the most popular colour across the range, while Metallic Pearl Black and Slate Grey colours joins the top three favourites among customers.
The 200,000th Dacia is a Sandero Stepway Prestige TCe 100 Bi-Fuel, finished in an eye-catching Iron Blue. The vehicle has been purchased by Christopher Simpson, a first time Dacia owner, from Brayleys Dacia in Milton Keynes.
Not only is the Sandero Stepway the UK’s favourite Dacia, Christopher’s Prestige model is also the pinnacle of the current line-up. With strong personality, diamond-cut alloy wheels and the latest LED technology the interior is equally impressive with the new 8-inch Media Nav infotainment, automatic air conditioning, an electronic handbrake and additional safety systems including Blind Spot Warning. Christopher will benefit from the advanced Bi-fuel powertrain with more than 800 miles between refills when using both fuel tanks.
Christopher Simpson, Dacia’s 200,000th customer, says: “I’ve been so excited to collect my new car, especially as it’s the latest model in the range, but to know it’s the 200,000th Dacia sold in the UK makes it even more special. It’s my first Dacia and the fact we could get everything we wanted at an affordable price – and new – was perfect. I can’t wait to get out on the road in it!”
Jack Bramston, Sales Manager at Brayleys Dacia says: “We’re delighted that Christopher is collecting his new Sandero Stepway from us, like any sale, but even more so as the 200,000th Dacia sold in the UK. We’ve been selling Dacias at Brayleys since 2014 and it’s been incredible to be on the brand’s journey of success in the UK. We wish Chris many happy miles in his new Sandero.”
Luke Broad, Head of Sales, Dacia UK, said: “We celebrated 100,000 Dacia sales four years after launching in the UK, and four years later we’ve sold another 100,000. We’ve been keeping up the momentum, all while continuing to provide UK customers with the most affordable cars on the market. We’re thrilled that our customers – both new and existing – trust Dacia in providing unrivalled value for money, practicality and low running costs.”

The All-New Sandero and Stepway boast an entirely new high-quality interior, the latest connectivity and technology features and striking new design.
Sitting alongside the popular Duster SUV, offering rugged utility and a practical interior all for less money than a regular supermini, solidifying its award-winning status as an accomplished and unrivalled all-rounder.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. 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 best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may 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, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
