Dacia Sandero Midnight
launched
Sep 30,
2014
Limited edition model comes with plenty of
equipment and exclusive paint finish
A limited
edition of the Dacia Sandero called the Sandero Midnight has
been launched, offering buyers some exclusive styling and more equipment than
the top-of-the-range Laureate model.
Although
Dacia has built its reputation and appeal on budget, no frills, cars the
manufacturer clearly sees an opportunity to tap into the current trend for
all-black limited edition models. Skoda has given the black edition treatment
to its current range, Honda has launched a black edition of the Honda Civic and you can buy an Audi A1 Black Edition, to name but
three.
As part of
its makeover, the Sandero gets an exclusive ‘Slate Grey’ metallic paint finish,
which is very likely to be identified as black out in the street, 15-inch alloy
wheels, and gloss black trim on the door mirrors and the pillar between the
front and rear passenger doors.
The theme
continues with the car's interior, which gets gloss black trim on the door
handles, central console surround and steering wheel.
In terms of
kit, the Sandero Midnight is about as well-equipped as you could expect from a
Dacia, and comes with air conditioning, electric front windows, cruise control,
Bluetooth, a radio/CD player and electronic stability control with traction
control.
Buyers will
also be able to tick option boxes for rear parking sensors, leather upholstery
and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav.
Despite the
car's style improvements and more luxurious interior, performance remains
steady rather than sporty thanks to a choice of either a 0.9-litre petrol
engine that does 0-60mph in 11.1 seconds or a 1.5-litre diesel engine that does
0-60mph in 12.1 seconds. On the bright side, economy stands at 56.5mpg for the
petrol model and 74.3mpg for the diesel, with the latter dipping under the
100g/km of CO2 emissions threshold for free road tax.
The Dacia
Sandero Midnight is available to order now, with the petrol model starting at
£9,354 and the diesel costing from £10,345.
