Dacia SanderoESSENTIAL TCE 1.0 [90] PETROL MANUAL

The 2021 Dacia Sandero Bi-Fuel represents an exciting and practical option for those looking for an affordable, eco-friendly vehicle with minimal running costs. Dacia has long been known for offering budget-friendly cars that don’t skimp on reliability or functionality, and the Sandero Bi-Fuel continues this tradition while offering a twist with its dual-fuel capabilities. 

In terms of design, the 2021 Sandero Bi-Fuel remains true to Dacia’s no-nonsense approach to styling. The exterior is simple, practical, and efficient, offering a clean and unpretentious look that is more about function than flair. While the design is hardly groundbreaking, it’s clear that the Sandero is made to be functional first. The front end is straightforward with a wide grille and halogen headlights, while the side profile shows off the car’s compact proportions, making it an ideal choice for tight urban parking.

The rear design is similarly understated, with a decent-sized boot and clear taillights. Overall, while the Sandero isn’t a showstopper in terms of looks, it remains an attractive proposition for buyers looking for practicality over bold design statements.

Inside, the 2021 Dacia Sandero offers a no-frills but comfortable experience. The cabin is spacious for a supermini, and there’s enough room for four adults to sit relatively comfortably. The driving position is adjustable, and the seats are decently supportive for short to medium journeys. The cabin materials are basic, with a lot of hard plastics, but everything feels solid and well-assembled.

The dashboard layout is simple and easy to navigate, with large dials and buttons that can be easily operated, even while driving. 

One of the most notable features of the Sandero Bi-Fuel is its boot space. With the rear seats up, the boot offers a practical 328 litres of capacity, which is impressive for a supermini. The rear seats can also be folded down to increase capacity, making it a versatile option for transporting larger loads.

The real highlight of the 2021 Sandero Bi-Fuel is its dual-fuel engine. This model combines a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), offering significant savings at the pump while also reducing CO2 emissions. This setup is an ideal choice for those who want to keep running costs low without switching to a fully electric car.

The engine produces a modest 90 bhp, which is more than enough for city driving and longer journeys on the motorway. The car feels peppy around town, with enough torque to get up to speed without issue, and it’s relatively quiet for a car of this price range. On the road, the Sandero Bi-Fuel is light and easy to manoeuvre, making it an excellent choice for city dwellers. It may not be the most thrilling car to drive, but it’s certainly enjoyable enough for everyday use.

One of the standout features is the fuel efficiency. The LPG system allows drivers to significantly reduce fuel costs, with the petrol engine being complemented by an LPG tank that offers an additional 40-50% savings in fuel costs. The car’s range is impressive, with the total driving range (petrol and LPG combined) stretching to around 600 miles, meaning fewer fuel stops.

Insurance is also relatively cheap for this model, making it an ideal choice for young drivers or those looking for an economical vehicle.

The 2021 Sandero Bi-Fuel comes with a decent level of technology considering its budget-friendly price tag.
