So how much are you going to end up paying? Believe it or not, from under £8,000. There's a choice of three trim levels, base 'Access', mid-range 'Essential' and plush 'Comfort'.

Ideally, you'd want to start your search with 'Essential' spec because 'Access' trim really is very basic. Overall, this Sandero is still the cheapest car you can buy.

It undercuts smaller city cars like the Fiat Panda and the Kia Picanto by around £2,000 and offers lots more space inside than both. For some perspective, in size, this car is somewhere between a Fiesta-shaped supermini (models of which tend to be priced from around £13,500) and a Focus-sized family Hatch (priced from around £18,000).

So you get the idea. It really is hard to argue with this kind of value proposition. There's only a single five-door hatchback body style but it does come in either standard form or as the 'Sandero Stepway', a variant that dresses up this design with a bit more SUV-style attitude and offers a 41mm higher ride height.

Three interior media infotainment options are available, the most basic system - called 'Media Control' - includes Bluetooth and a DAB radio, but no screen. Instead, you get a dock for your smartphone which can run a purpose-designed app for in-car use.

Further up the range, you get two options based around an 8-inch touchscreen; 'Media Display', which incorporates 'Android Auto' and 'Apple CarPlay' smartphone-mirroring. And 'Media Nav', which has built-in sat nav with Wi-Fi-based smartphone access.
