Comments

The Sandero is equipped only with a three-way catalyst and the limitations of such limited exhaust after-treatment become apparent when the boundary conditions are stretched. In the cold ambient temperature test, emissions of all pollutant emissions are high and no points are scored in this test.

Comments

For a car that weighs so little - slightly under a tonne - energy efficiency is unexceptional. An average fuel consumption of 6.2 l/100 km is far from class-leading.

Comments

Emissions of laughing gas (N2O) and Methane (CH4), both very potent greenhouse gases, is limited and CO2 emissions are not excessive, leading to an index of 4.9 in this part of the assessment.

Our verdict

Dacia, maker of pared-down cars, first launched the no-frills Sandero in 2007. The car is tested here in second-generation form, with a three-cylinder one litre engine. In keeping with the brand's ethos, exhaust after-treatment is basic - just a three-way catalyst - and the car struggles to control pollutant emissions in the more challenging tests. The cold ambient temperature test, in particular, lays bare the car's limitations and, with the exception of NOx, emissions of all pollutants are excessive. Energy efficiency is moderate, the small engine being made to work hard in some situations. Emissions of greenhouse gases, especially those of the unregulated pollutants - N2O and CH4 - are low, and those of CO2 are not excessive. Overall, the 1.0 litre petrol Sandero emerges from Green NCAP's tests with a fair 2½ star rating.
