10 months after their first model went on sale there, Dacia announced that it has sold its 10,000 car in Britain.
The owner of the landmark car is Elma Marshall, a hospital worker who opted for the Duster Ambiance 4x4, in sparkling Granite Grey metallic. Dacia says that already, it has 11,500 orders since January 1st when the Duster went on sale.
In terms of demand, it's pretty equally split right now. 5,600 people wanted a duster and 5,400 the Sandero. Soon though, Dacia will also launch their Sandero Stepway crossover supermini and the new Logan MCV estate.
Elma commented, “I’d read a lot of things about Dacia on the internet before I went to Ness in Perth, and the fact that Duster was the Scottish Car of the Year also hadn’t escaped my notice. As soon as I sat in it, I loved it. It was comfy and the chunky styling really reassured me that I'd be safe in the snowiest weather.
She added: "I knew that by investing in even the top specification 4x4, I’d be saving thousands compared to anything else like it. One minute I was trading in a front-wheel-drive petrol Mazda 6, the next I was driving my diesel Dacia Duster 4x4 home. I’ve already had some lovely comments on the car from both colleagues in the NHS and family and friends in the farming community. I've even been approached by strangers at the garage!”
Ken Ramirez, Managing Director, Renault UK & Ireland, added, “I’m over the moon that Elma, as well as over 10,000 other Dacia owners, have recognised the ‘shockingly affordable’ value-for-money of Duster and Sandero in terms of space, practicality and equipment, so far this year. Our Dacia line-up has now been completed with the arrival of Sandero Stepway and Logan MCV, making us the first choice ‘smart buy’ car brand.”
