Dacia prepares the launch of a small class model with four-seats, called Dacia City, with a price of 5.000 euros, according to the German magazine Auto Bild.

"We are thinking at a model of 3.5 to 3.6 meters long" said Vincent Carre, the global marketing director of Dacia in the Renault Group.

Dacia-Mini will have four seats and four doors, and will take elements from Logan and the second generation of Renault Clio. The reduced price of the new model is due to the design and the use of components from other models.

"Dacia is not just a brand, is a philosophy. The objective is to obtain low costs at each stage of the production"said Carrie.

Dacia City will be powered by an 1.2 liters engine from the Renault Twingo.

Dacia wants to develop and manufacture two new models, said Fabrice Cambolive, the commercial director of Dacia, and added that it is too early to give details about new models.

Currently, Dacia produces 6 models of cars, Logan, Logan MCV, Logan Van, Logan Pick-up, Dacia Sandero and Dacia Sandero Stepway.

The Romanian car manufacturer, member of the French Group Renault, sold 311.282 cars last year, up 20.5% over 2008, but sales in Romania have decreased by over 50% to 41.862 cars. Dacia still managed to slightly increase its share on the Romanian market.

The strong increase of sales last year was driven mainly by success in Western Europe, where Dacia has sold over 200,000 cars.
