Now Dacia has published a new video Dacia Sandero RS and we have been tempted to ask whether would or no place in the European market .
Recalling … what gives us the Dacia Sandero RS?
The Dacia Sandero RS offers less than other SUVs power. Its price would be considerably less presumably … and of course, would have to face to face with the Suzuki Swift Sport.

We were unable to test this Dacia Sandero RS, but they also presupposes a more careful these settings, as well as, of course, an interior several steps above.
His closest rival would be a small samurai: the Suzuki Swift Sport
In addition to the alternative insults we can not lose sight of an interesting Suzuki Swift Sport already proposed from time a role similar to that should offer the Dacia Sandero RS in Europe, economic SUV and with a power level below that of the aforementioned models.
