The Dacia Sandero was the most produced car in the region Europe + Morocco + Turkey in 2023
- Within the Europe 30 country region (EU + United Kingdom + Switzerland + Norway + Serbia + Morocco + Turkey), defined as EEZ by Inovev (Europe Economic Zone including Serbia, Morocco and Turkey as they export to Europe the majority of cars produced on their soil), the Dacia Sanderoproduced in Morocco became the most produced car in 2023 (293,787 units) ahead of the Renault Clio (262,714 units) produced in Turkey.
- The Dacia Sandero, which is the second best-selling car in Europe in 2023, is ahead of the Tesla Model Y (best-selling car in Europe in 2023) in production because it is produced in Germany (77%) and imported from China (at 23%), while the Sandero has been only produced from Morocco since the second half of 2022.
- In 2024, the share of Tesla Model Y produced in Germany is expected to increase further to gradually approach 100% following the capacity increase of the Gruenheideplant.
- The first place of the Dacia Sandero is a performance as this model was initially only a low-price model intended mainly for emerging and semi-emerging countries located in Eastern Europe. In fact, this model became an accessible model that could appeal to all European customers who could find many of the cars offered today too expensive, particularly BEVs and mid-range SUVs. It is to be noted that the Dacia Duster is in third position in this ranking among SUVs behind the VW Tiguan and Nissan Qashqai.
