Dacia Sandero SCe 75 is the replacement of Dacia Sandero 1.2 MPI. That being said, SCe engine (1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, code B4D 400) replaces MPI engine (1.2 litre, 4-cylinder). The model presented here is a facelifted version of Dacia Sandero – a facelift that adds new headlights, taillights, new front and rear spoiler design, new front grille, new steering wheel, new key fob, and the SCe naturally aspirated engine. This is the first time when a Dacia car has LED DRL and the first time when Dacia moves the horn actuator to the steering wheel (airbag capsule). Up until now the horn actuator was positioned on the tip of the turn signal lever. The car featured here is new, with less than 1,000 km on the clock.
