Dacia plans to launch an electric version of its Sandero model by 2028. The vehicle is expected to be built on the RGMP Small platform, which is currently used for internal combustion and hybrid engines. Engineers are adapting this architecture to accommodate an electric motor and an underbody battery pack.
The electric Sandero will reportedly feature a 78-kW Shanghai e-Drive motor and a 44-kWh LFP battery, similar to the entry-level Renault 5. The car is expected to offer a range of approximately 400 kilometers. Designers aim to reduce the vehicle weight by about 100 kg to increase overall efficiency while maintaining the current length of 4.10 meters.
Production is scheduled to begin in Morocco in April 2028, with market availability expected in the summer of that year. This model will join the Dacia Spring as the second electric vehicle in the company's lineup. Dacia intends to introduce a total of four electric models by 2030, including a microcar project currently referred to as the Hipster, which may arrive in 2027.
The company is also evaluating the introduction of the Renault Bridger to the European market. This vehicle, originally developed for India, would also utilize the RGMP platform. This strategic move is intended to accelerate the electrification of the Dacia model range and reduce the brand's overall CO2 emissions.
