The model
Read full reviewOften the verdict for a car costing this little would be ‘cheap but not great’. Not here, though, because the Sandero is a fine small car to spend time in and is actually above average in many, many areas. For practicality, it’s one of the best in the class. Entry-level Access trim is a bit too stripped out for most people, but the top-level Comfort trim with the TCe 90 engine is a great all-round package for very little outlay.

See full equipmentEntry-level Access trim is ultra-cheap but you get ugly black bumpers, steel wheels and no air-conditioning or central locking. You do get electric front windows and LED headlights, so it’s not all bad.
The engine
See full engine specsThis naturally aspirated 1.0-litre has just 64bhp. Even without driving it (we’ll let you know when we have) we are pretty confident it’ll be slow (0-62mph takes a pedestrian 16.7sec) and worth avoiding. Officially it offers the same economy and emissions as the more expensive TCe 90.
