Are you ready for an electric car that will keep the price to a minimum and still offer everything you need? Dacia is preparing a real surprise – the Dacia Sandero Electric, which we will see in 2027. Are you curious about what it brings? Read on!
When it comes to cars that offer the most for the least money, the Dacia Sandero often finds itself at the top of the list. In fact, it was the best-selling car in Europe in 2024! But what does the future hold? The electric Sandero, coming in 2027, promises to be a complete turnaround. With a combination of a low price, proven design and Renault's electric technology, this novelty is something that is sure to catch the attention of any bargain hunter.
What do we know about the new Dacia Sandero Electric?
The electric Sandero will be based on the AmpR Small platform, which is already used by the Renault 4 E-Tech Electric and Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. This means that we can expect batteries with capacities of 40 kWh and 52 kWh, offering a range of around 300 to 400 kilometers (WLTP). There will also be various powertrains available with 70 kW (95 hp), 90 kW (122 hp) and 110 kW (150 hp), which will ensure a dynamic yet affordable drive. So all very similar to the Renault 5.
Unlike the smaller and cheaper Dacia Spring, which is currently produced in China, the Sandero Electric will be assembled in Europe. This will reduce import costs and allow for lower prices. This will make the Sandero even more attractive to the European market, which is subject to strict regulations and customs burdens.
Why will the Dacia Sandero Electric be an important car for Europe?
The European market is increasingly moving towards electrification. The Dacia Sandero Electric is targeting a segment where price is key. Its main competitors, such as the Citroën e-C3, Hyundai Inster and Volkswagen ID.2, are likely to be slightly more expensive, while Dacia is expected to maintain its reputation as the cheapest car in Europe. If the Sandero Electric follows the pricing strategy of the Spring, which costs around approximately 17,000 euros, will undoubtedly take this title. We expect a price below 20,000 euros for the entry-level model and a price around 25,000 for the model with a large battery.
What's happening with the current offer?
The Dacia Spring, currently the only electric model in Dacia's range, is facing declining sales. Sales fell sharply in 2024, partly due to the elimination of subsidies in the lower price segment, where buyers are particularly price-sensitive. Electric Sandero will replace the Spring, as it will be built on a more advanced platform, offer more space and better driving characteristics, while still remaining affordable.
What will it look like?
Although design details have not yet been revealed, we can expect a modern and distinctive look that combines practicality with appeal. As with previous generations, there will also be a version available Stepway, which will retain its rugged appearance and higher ground clearance, making it attractive to crossover enthusiasts.
Is this the car you've been waiting for?
Dacia Sandero Electric will have everything it needs to succeed – an affordable price, proven technology and European production. If you are looking for an electric car that offers the most for your money, this could be the perfect model for you. But let's not forget, the competition is not sleeping. Hyundai, Citroën and Volkswagen are already preparing similar models, so it will be interesting to see how the Sandero Electric will rank in this electric race.
CONCLUSION: Dacia Sandero Electric
The electric Sandero is a promising move that could redefine the market for affordable electric cars. Dacia remains true to its philosophy of offering quality at a good price, but now it is entering a new era of electrification. If the prices are as competitive as they promise, and if the car offers enough range and practicality for everyday needs, we can prepare for a new European bestseller. Are you looking forward to 2027? We certainly are!
