Confirming its incredible popularity among owners, Dacia has been revealed as the UK’s top car manufacturer for brand advocacy, in a list compiled by YouGov in its BrandIndex. Dacia came in with a total score of 67.4, beating 34 other car manufacturers, as well as coming in ninth out of the top 10 brands in all sectors overall.*

Furthermore, all Dacia vehicles come with a comprehensive 3 year / 60,000 mile** warranty as standard, as well as a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty and a 2-year paint warranty. If you intend to keep your vehicle for longer, you can opt for one of four extended warranties for added peace of mind:

4 year / 80,000 miles**: £295
5 years / 60,000 miles**: £395
7 years / 100,000 miles**: £850

Dacia was founded in Romania in 1966. The Renault Group bought the Romanian car manufacturer Dacia in September 1999. Through shared technology and production methods, Renault has helped Dacia become a global icon in its own right, selling to over 4 million customers worldwide.

The Renault Group wholly bought Dacia in 1999. Dacia is now a brand of the Renault Group. Dacia vehicles use useful and proven technology from the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Whilst Dacia is a separate franchise from Renault, all current Renault dealerships are also Dacia retailers in the UK.

All Dacia vehicles come with a good level of standard safety equipment to protect vehicle occupants. All versions of Duster, Sandero and Sandero Stepway are equipped with:

· Driver’s, passenger’s and front side airbags

· Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

· Height-adjustable front headrests

· 3 x 3-point rear seatbelts

Additionally, all versions of Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway feature Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control (ASR) and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) as standard.

Our Sandero currently rates 4*s and Logan MCV currently rates 3* on the Euro NCAP rating as of 2019.

You may wish to read some recent press articles on this subject which detail the reasons for the global shortage, link below. - A quick internet search on “computer chip shortage” will give you lots of information.

Since computer chips are a common component in most cars’ electrical systems, several automotive manufacturers are likely to be impacted by this global shortage.

Yes, all vehicles which are planned to be built in our factories in the coming months ahead are impacted in some way. Impacts vary depending on the specification of each vehicle.

Please contact your local Dacia Retailer. They will be able to work with you and RCI to temporarily extend your existing finance agreement until your new car is delivered.

We recommend that you contact your finance provider and explain the situation to them. They will then explain your options. In most cases, they should be able to temporarily extend your finance contract. Your Dacia Retailer is also available to advise you on your options.

The price of your car will remain the same as at the point you placed your customer order.

Your Dacia retailer will work with you to ensure any impacts of part exchange values are minimised. However, in cases where mileage is significantly higher or the condition of the vehicle deteriorates significantly since it was appraised, then a reappraisal may be necessary.

We are sorry, but we do not have a fleet of vehicles in the UK available for loan. We advise making arrangements to continue to drive your current vehicle (if you have one) until your new one arrives.

Unfortunately, at present, we do not know exactly how long the delay will be since the computer chip shortage is constantly evolving. We understand this is very frustrating for you and as soon as we have visibility on your vehicle’s build date in the coming weeks, we or your chosen dealer will contact you to update you.
