Talk:Dacia Sandero

Built in Brazil?

Sandero built in Brazil? I think it is made in Romania! +

"This medium-sized hatchback has been the first vehicle Renault has introduced in any place other than Europe." Not true. I know Renault has sold cars in India,or does he mean the launch of the car, witch was made in Brazil? For example the Logan Mahindra was sold in India. Somebody should correct these mistakes!

It is not a mistake but, indeed, Sandero was developed and designed in France by Technocentre with Brazilian and Romanian expertise.

Renault chose Brazil as first market for launching this model, as well as Curitiba was the first plant chosen for producing it. But pilot staff and senior operators from Curitiba, spent time in Pitesti during 2006 to receive training regarding the production processes, 45% of the engineers who worked on the project were of Romanian origin as well as Renault Technologies Americas worked with the Sandero development team from the start of the project.

In Romania, Renault has set up a design centre (Renault Design Central Europe) and an engineering centre called Renault Technologie Roumanie.

Top Gear References

The popular culture references to the running gag on BBC's Top Gear program were removed with the following comment: "What popular culture, where? In a country where the car doesn't exist ???"

For starters, the car is for sale in the UK. Secondly, even if it wasn't, it's still a valid popular culture reference. I came here to see what all the Top Gear references were about, and I'm sure other people will as well. Finally, if you're going to remove the popular culture section, also remove the link at the top in the outline of the article.

The Dacia Sandero is NOT sold in the UK. Plans are underway to bring the car to the UK, but due to the current economic climate, this has been postponed for the forseeable future.

Also, the Top Gear reference to the Sandero is mentioned on the Top Gear page, nothing new has been added in this article. I think people will see the reference on the Top Gear page, and come to this article to find out more about the car itself.

Dear Grigorescu,

For rules and conventions about editing auto-pages I would recommend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Automobiles/Conventions page.

Thank you,

Just so you know, I came here looking for the Top Gear stuff too. _Met^ty 12:57, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I also came here looking for the Top Gear stuff, and got this from the guidelines: "The guideline that has been widely accepted for automotive subjects is that mention of pop-culture references should be strictly limited to cases where the fact of that reference influenced the sales, design or other tangible aspect of the vehicle.". I personally have never seen any marketing for the Sandero outside of the Top Gear references, so I would be amazed if there had not been some impact on sales as a result of its appearance on one of the most watched programmes in the world.

In addition, the guideline was written because: "There is a tendency for such sections to degenerate into long lists of movie and TV show appearances,", and that is clearly not the case, only one reference is in the balance. By upholding the letter and not the spirit of the convention, the article has been made less interesting and informative for the benefit of making it a few sentences shorter. 77.75.167.74 (talk) 20:24, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

It isn't even a guideline, or a policy, as is said on the page. No one is under any obligation what-so-ever to follow these suggestions, unless you can give a real (i.e. page in the Wikipedia namespace) reason (such as WP:TRIVIA, but as there is no long list of appearances and subtle, pointless nuances), it can stay.

Why the move?

Why was this moved? It's the Dacia Sandero, not the Renault slash Dacia sandero. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:07, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Engines

I have removed the 2.0l engine from the table of the Sandero II, partly because there is no reference to it being used in the Sandero and partly because there is no other reference that any other petrol/gas engine with a bigger capacity than 1.2l being in a production car. Feel free to amend when appropriate. Nordic Dragon^talk 15:34, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Subcompact

The lede describes this car as a 'subcompact'. This is an exclusively North American size category. As far as I know, the Sandero has never been sold in the US or Canadian markets and is unknown there. --Ef80 (talk) 20:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Why undo edit which contained reliable information (with citation) and remove galleries with pictures of the facelifts in the "Third generation" section?

Hello! I do not understand why my recent edit in which:

• I updated the main photo of the article with one of the current 2023 model (instead of one of the 2020 model that was before and is again now)
• I added reliable piece of information with citation about the 2022 Refresh in the "Third generation" section
• I added galleries with facelift images in comparison with the non-facelift images for both the standard Sandero and the Sandero Stepway (but without wrongfully mixing the images for the two models like they were before and are again now) in the "Third generation"

was undid. Now the article is back in it's previous state, with the primary image being of the older model instead of the current Sandero, information inside the "2022 Refresh" lacking and the images of the standard Sandero and the Sandero Stepway being wrongfully mixed together in the "2022 refresh" part. Why was this? All names i want are taken (talk) 17:11, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

• You used a company source, and the article already has way too many images. Drmies (talk) 17:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

  • The information I wrote was very much accurate and in no way subjective and you can see it yourself in the images that I had uploaded in the galleries that are now removed. There are pretty much no written articles that mention the lack of chrome other than Dacia's own (although there are independent videos on YouTube mentioning it), so I had to use that. What you are saying is that it is usual practice to remove accurate and verifiable information just because the written source cited was the company's press site?
  • The image of the current car that I set as the main one for the article was removed as well. In its place is now an image with the previous model, launched in 2020. Most other Automobiles articles I've seen show the current model on the primary image, not the older ones. There was no reason or explanation provided for that change by the person who did it. Not saying it was the best photo, but it was the only decent one of the current Sandero.
