Dacia Sandero is crowned Car of the Year 2021 in UK

The Dacia Sandero has been awarded the ultimate accolade of ‘Car of the Year’ in the What Car? Car of the Year Awards 2021.

The UK’s most affordable new car beat some of the most prestigious and advanced cars currently on sale to the coveted title, with What Car? proclaiming the Sandero its overall victor based on its comfort, specification, practicality and sheer outright value.

Each of the Awards’ 26 category winners were in the running for the overall ‘Car of the Year’ title, with the Sandero qualifying after scooping the hard-fought award for ‘Best Small Car’.

The Sandero has triumphed in the annual awards, with the five-door hatchback having won its price point in the ‘Best Small Car’ category since 2013.

Dacia also scored with the Duster SUV at this year’s online presentation ceremony, the SUV taking home the new ‘Best Buy for value’ award that is now incorporated in the ‘Best Family SUV’ category.
