Comparison: Boot space Dacia Sandero vs. competitors 2025

Since its debut, the Dacia Sandero has never been about grandiose transformations; it's been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The first generation, which hustled onto the scene in 2008, served up a stable 320 litres of boot room, ample for the day-to-day urban scuffle. That space continued through to the facelift in 2016, as steady and unshaken as a royal guard. Come 2020, and there's a modest perk in capacity – we're now looking at 328 litres with seats unfurled and 1108 litres with the rear benches folded like an origami swan, dropping from the 1200 litres offered in pre-facelift Sixt mobiles.

Compared to its brethren in the Dacia stable, the Sandero's boot space struts a confident middle ground. Sandwiched between the Dacia Spring, with its modest 290 litres, and the trailblazing Dacia Duster that towers with 445 litres, the Sandero makes a compelling case for the average Joe with real-world demands. It's the epitome of getting just enough space to be practical without your ride ballooning into a full-scale SUV.

Let's put the Sandero in the hot seat against its nearest rivals, shall we? The Honda Jazz dances to the beat of 380 litres, overshadowing our humble hero, while the new kid on the block, the VW Polo, comes armed with 245 litres, unabashedly conceding defeat to the Sandero. Stride into the bigger leagues, and the Ford Fiesta folds out with a meagre 250 litres, proving yet again that the Sandero sits quite comfortably with its close kin. It's not the one basking in the limelight at the red carpet gala; it's the one in the workshop ensuring there's enough room for both the toolset and the toddler.
