On December 1, 2007, the world was introduced to a new nameplate that would redefine the budget car segment, but not under its now-famous European badge. The first-generation Sandero made its global debut in Brazil, branded as a Renault. This launch was a pivotal moment for the Renault Group's global strategy, representing the first Renault model to be launched outside of Europe. Developed from the Dacia Logan platform, its premiere at the Ayrton Senna plant in Curitiba showcased a vehicle tailor-made for emerging markets. This specific date marks the beginning of a success story built on providing robust, spacious, and affordable transportation to millions, a formula that would later conquer Europe under the Dacia brand.
