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.

Why don't Renault build the Twingo at the Dacia plant in Romania? Labour costs are lower, can be badged as a Dacia for Romania (like Vauxhall for the UK), and only one lot of tooling costs instead of making 2 different cars the same size. Renault and Dacia will be the same cars but wasn't that the case in the 1970s?
