• SCe 75 engine becomes available for New Sandero and New Logan MCV Lauréate
• Height Adjustment Pack becomes standard on Ambiance trim
• New Sandero Lauréate SCe 75 priced at £8,595
• New Logan MCV Lauréate SCe 75 priced at £9,895
• The new engine and trim combination for both models is available to order now

Dacia is making a number of updates to the New Sandero and New Logan MCV ranges. The efficient SCe 75 engine is now offered with Lauréate trim for both cars. In response to customer demand, the Height Adjustment Pack becomes standard equipment for Ambiance trim. The New Sandero Ambiance remains the most affordable car on the UK market equipped with air conditioning.

The frugal SCe 75 engine was previously available on the Access and Ambiance trims for New Sandero and New Logan MCV. Now customers looking for economy and low emissions can also enjoy the generous equipment of Lauréate, which includes satellite navigation and rear parking sensors.

The new 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine produces the same power as the outgoing 1.2-litre 16V 75, but is up to 10 per cent more efficient.

Equipped with the SCe 75 engine, the New Sandero returns 54.3mpg (NEDC combined cycle) and CO2 emissions of 117g/km. It allows the Sandero to accelerate from standstill to 62mph in 14.2 seconds on the way to a top speed of 98mph. The New Logan MCV SCe 75 achieves 52.3mpg (NEDC combined cycle) and 120g/km of CO2. It can accelerate from standstill to 62mph in 14.7 seconds and has a top speed of 98mph.

The new engine and trim combination will be available from later in the year, but can be ordered now.

Ambiance trim for both vehicles will have the previously optional Height Adjustment Pack fitted as standard. The pack consists of height adjustment for the driver’s seat, steering wheel and front seatbelts.

The New Sandero Ambiance SCe 75 remains the most affordable new car on the UK market with air conditioning, priced at just over £1,500 lower than the nearest competitor.

WHAT CAR AWARDS - The Dacia Sandero takes the best small car for the fifth year running.

• New Dacia Sandero wins ‘Best Small Car under £12,000’
• Fifth consecutive win for Dacia supermini at What Car? Awards
• New Sandero now on sale with specification and design upgrades and a new SCe 75 1.0-litre engine
• New Sandero available from £5,995 on-the-road
• More than 90,000 Dacias sold in the UK since launching in 2013

The Dacia Sandero has been awarded ‘Best Small Car for less than £12,000’ for the fifth consecutive year by What Car? at an awards ceremony in London this evening.

The Sandero first picked up the award in 2013, following Dacia’s entrance into the UK car market, and again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. 

Having undergone a series of recent updates for the 2017 Model Year, the supermini has taken the honours once more, underlining its ability to provide a class leading mix of practicality, comfort and low running costs. 

Its shockingly affordable £5,995 price tag is just half the amount of the category it competes in.

Commenting on the decision to give the award to the Sandero for the fifth time, Steve Huntingford, Editor, What Car?, said: “You won’t find this much space for so little in any other new car. 

A recent facelift brought an updated, higher quality interior. The Sandero also feels better to drive: the handling is tidy enough and the ride is surprisingly comfy for such a cheap car. You can buy a Sandero for less than £6,000, but we recommend spending a little more to get mid-range Ambiance trim. 

This adds niceties such as air-conditioning, central locking, electric front windows, a DAB radio and Bluetooth. It also replaces the standard black plastic bumpers with body-coloured ones that look a lot smarter. At this price point, only the Ford Ka+ comes close, and although that’s better to drive, the Sandero is more practical and a fair bit cheaper.”

Commenting on the result, Louise O’Sullivan, Head of Dacia UK said: “We’re delighted that the Sandero has been recognised by the judges at What Car? for a fifth consecutive year. The New Sandero offers customers even more value for money with upgrades to the interior and exterior as well as enhanced level of equipment while remaining the most affordable new car in the UK.”

The Dacia Sandero is a five-door hatchback, available in three trim levels with a choice of two petrol engines and one diesel engine. Pricing starts from £5,995, making it the lowest priced new car on sale in the UK today. The new interior and exterior upgrades for 2017 provide a more elegant and contemporary finish whilst providing the customer additional value and practicality.

The specific Ambiance version chosen by What Car? now comes with more features as standard such as air conditioning and DAB radio – it is the most affordable car on sale in the UK with air conditioning as standard. This is in addition to Bluetooth connectivity, electric windows and remote central locking. The new SCe 75 1.0-litre engine produces the same power as the outgoing 1.2-litre but delivers up to 10 per cent more efficiency.

The Dacia brand continues to go from strength to strength with 26,499 new Dacia vehicles sold during 2016, it’s best-ever year of sales in the UK.

Peugeot to advertise the 308 with a new campaign to promote the car, so, "Take A Closer Look"

• New UK campaign draws attention to the real benefits of buying a new PEUGEOT vehicle
• Its products – like the new 308 – have so many attributes contained within its stylish design
• The new campaign goes live on Friday and features the ‘Confidence. Built In’ messaging

A new combined TV / Radio / Press / Outdoor and Social Media campaign has been created by PEUGEOT UK that goes live this Friday to promote the confidence experienced by its customers, and this is fully justified with numerous product attributes that place it best-in-class, well-equipped, of high quality and high operational efficiency. 

Promoted under a core ‘Built In’ messaging, the campaign encourages potential customers to take a ‘closer look’, as PEUGEOT has confidence in its products that make them worthy of scrutiny.

The UK campaign promotes the award-winning PEUGEOT 308 in GT Line specification – launched in 2015, it accounts for a fifth of range take-up. 308 is a car with numerous attributes; by being the lowest CO₂ car in its sector, thus with the latest and best-in-class engines it is also the most economical, while other performance models feature the most-powerful engine of its size too, in a body design that is lightest and class-leading in capability and size. 

The Brand uniquely features the innovative PEUGEOT i-Cockpit, well-liked by its 2.2-million customers of car thus equipped, for it combines agile handling response with a compact steering wheel, high-positioned instrumentation and a colour touchscreen – all within the view looking forward. Its standard specification is comprehensive and provides allure for its many advanced features and rewarding driving experience.  

The centre-piece of this campaign is a new TV advert, produced specifically for the UK market, which challenges buyers to consider the new 308 and PEUGEOT as a brand. Filmed in Scotland, the advert has been produced by the UK team, to specifically address local requirements for customers buying a 308. The TV advert first goes on air on Friday evening.

Mark Pickles, Marketing director at PEUGEOT UK, commented “We have enjoyed formulating this UK campaign as we are entirely confident in the excellence of our products and simply wish to convey this sentiment to our prospective customers. PEUGEOT is a highly trustworthy brand and with so many virtues on offer. 

We are looking at ways to bring our products to the scrutiny of people who might otherwise be distracted by the promises of other brands when the values of what we offer are in fact better, more valued and of higher quality. The new ad is provocative intentionally.”

This campaign also sees the launch of PEUGEOT UK’s new creative format, where a new visual layout and tone of voice is employed, together with the line “Confidence. Built In”. Future campaigns will also feature the “Built In” tagline, in order to provide a consistent means of putting across the strengths of each vehicle, in a consistent and coherent manner.

Accompanying Outdoor, Radio and Press campaigns challenge prospective buyers to share the confidence we have for the 308 by taking a closer look with a 48 Hour Test Drive, giving customers the opportunity to drive and become more acquainted by the cars numerous attributes, and to see for themselves why the new 308 is such a compelling car.

The overall vision for this campaign, which spans all major communication channels, is to challenge prospective buyers on how they choose their next car. 

By highlighting the key product attributes of 308, we demonstrate that the beauty of this car is in the detail. However, thanks to some stunning driving footage and new photography, we demonstrate that in 308 we have a car which marries image with detail. 

The campaign runs from today until 30^th June, and will be reprised later in the Autumn to maximise awareness. More details of each element of the campaign are provided below.

The TV campaign is on prime-time slots and runs for five-weeks and will feature both the standard 30-second version plus an extended 60-second version which showcases the message in even greater detail.

In order to lend gravitas to the film, which takes a very direct approach to questioning how people choose their next car, we have used a recognisable and highly acclaimed actor – Peter Mullan is a Scottish actor, filmmaker and socialist, known for his acting role in My Name Is Joe, winning a Best Actor Award at 1998 Cannes Film Festival. Mullan has also appeared as supporting or guest actor in numerous cult movies, including Riff-Raff, Braveheart, Trainspotting, Children of Men, War Horse and the Harry Potter film series.

The result is a TV advert which is arresting, thought provoking, and ultimately designed to highlight the strengths of 308 versus its competitors. ‘Take a closer look’.
