Related: Dacia’s Next-Gen Sandero EV Arriving In 2027
The facelifted Sandero you see here won’t stray from that value philosophy, but when it arrives in 2026 it will pair it with some of the design cues that have helped make make its SUV siblings so popular – the new Duster was the ninth best-selling vehicle in Europe last year, outselling models like the VW Tiguan and Peugeot 2008.
Chief among the changes heading the Sandero’s way include new headlights that are the same overall shape as the old ones, but have a fresh DRL signature, chunky new mesh patterns for both the upper and lower grilles, and a new style of bumper with revised side air intakes. It’s the same story at the rear, where new lights and bumpers will mark out the updated car.

So we’re not talking radical changes, but there’s wisdom in that old ‘if it ain’t broke’ maxim. Where Dacia might decide to fix it anyway is on the inside. When our spy photographers spotted a prototype of the off-road-styled Sandero Stepway earlier this year, we noted that the touchscreen display appeared to be larger. But this being a Dacia, entry-level versions of the new Sandero could still come with no screen at all to keep prices low – the current model starts at just £14,715 in the UK.
The Sandero isn’t the only older Dacia in line for a Duster-inspired makeover. The company’s Jogger wagon has also been seen testing with similar visual upgrades, and some sources have suggested the tweaked Sandero could get a hybrid powertrain option, something already available on the Jogger. But Dacia might choose to save its efforts because an all-new Sandero, this time with available EV power, is due in 2027.
