DACIA’S no frills Sandero Access is not only the ‘UK’s most affordable new car’ it’s also become the ‘least depreciating’.
Residual value provider CAP has confirmed that the Sandero Access 1.2 16V is forecast to lose only £3,615 over a three-year, 60,000 mile period.
The Renault-owned brand has already made an impressive impact on the UK market, having sold 4,000 Sandero models in the UK for just £5,995.
Meanwhile, low depreciation of the top-of-the-range Sandero Laureate over a three-year, 60,000 mile period of just £1,400 means owners could be almost £4,000 better off than running pricier rival cars such as the Skoda Fabia or the Suzuki Swift.
These figures show that the UK’s ‘most affordable’ new supermini range will pay-off financially in the future making this supermini thousands of pounds cheaper to run than its rivals.
Dacia UK marketing director, Phil York, said: ‘It’s only a few months since the Dacia Duster SUV got a glowing endorsement from the people who forecast future used car values, yet already we’re celebrating the same for the second car in the range.
‘We always knew that a cracking entry price of only £5,995 would get Brits through the showroom door in their droves. This latest news now makes the deal for arguably one of the best value superminis even sweeter. If we carry on like this, we might have to call the factory to up the production for the UK.’
