Dacia is a Romanian automotive brand founded in 1966 and now owned by Renault Group. It is known globally for value-focused vehicles including the Duster SUV, Sandero hatch and Jogger people mover.
In Australia, Dacia is not represented as a separate new-car brand. The Duster SUV is sold locally through Renault Australia as the Renault Duster, so Dacia is best understood locally as historical brand context rather than an active Australian new-car range.
