The Dacia Nova (Romanian pronunciation: from 1995 to 2000.
History
The Dacia Nova was the first in-house developed Dacia model and it was intended to complement the Renault 12-based "Berlina" (Sedan) and "Break" (Estate) range, with a small liftback/fastback. Work for this model had started in the 1980s, this being the reason why the car looked outdated from the time it first left the factory, in 1995.[1] The next year, the more modern-looking and more popular, facelifted version was introduced.
The
The Dacia Nova was appreciated for its good road manners, light weight and strong engine.[citation needed]
Although more modern in every way than the classic Dacia range, bodywork quality was generally worse, there was less boot space and the Nova was more expensive. All these combined ensured that the Nova was never a bestseller in the Dacia family and not many examples survive today. It was replaced by the SuperNova in the year 2000.
