With its manual transmission and compact dimensions, this used Sandero offers remarkable value at R159,899.99. Performance & Efficiency: Under the bonnet sits Renault's responsive 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, delivering a balanced 52kW of power with 96Nm of torque - more than enough pep for city driving while remaining fuel-efficient on longer journeys. The 5-speed manual gearbox provides direct control and excellent fuel economy, achieving approximately 5.2L/100km on combined cycles. While not a speed demon, the Sandero accelerates confidently through traffic, reaching 100km/h in around 11.3 seconds - perfectly adequate for merging onto highways and navigating busy urban environments.
