Solenza spearheads Dacia’s range renewal and
opens the way for future development
Solenza is the first fruit of Dacia’s extensive range renewal programme initiated with the Romanian carmaker's membership of the Renault
group, and the first embodiment of the brand’s new visual identity. Romanian market release in mid-April 2003 marks a major development milestone for Dacia. Solenza is built at Dacia’s Pitesti plant and will be released on the Romanian
market in mid-April 2003. As well as widening Dacia’s lead on the Romanian market (close to 50% in 2002, with 52,742 units), Solenza will also help Dacia develop export markets in North Africa and Central and Eastern Europe. With its smart saloon profile, Dacia Solenza combines status-symbol appeal and functionality. This is the first Dacia model to feature the brand’s new visual identity. Generous external dimensions (4.08 m long, with a wheelbase of 2.48 m) make for a roomy interior and capacious boot. Seats, dashboard and controls are functional and ergonomic, for comfortable, convenient driving. The top-end version comes with power steering, electronic engine immobilizer, power windows at the front, air conditioning, and sound system with CD player and four loudspeakers. Solenza is powered by a Renault 75bhp 1.4 litre engine coupled to a Renault fivespeed manual gearbox. It features pseudo-MacPherson front suspension and an
H-type flexible rear suspension, giving a very good trade-off between ride comfort and roadholding.
