With a slightly shorter wheelbase than the sedan from which it derives, the Sandero was developed at Renault's Technocentre near Paris, France, in conjunction with the regional engineering centers based in Brazil and Romania.
It was revealed for the first time at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, and made its formal market debut in Brazil, as a Renault model, in December 2007, being the first Renault model to debut outside Europe.

It was launched subsequently in Europe as a Dacia model at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008.
Renault began manufacturing the Sandero in South Africa in February 2009, and in December 2009, in Russia.
A Renault version is also manufactured in Colombia for its home market and for export to countries including Chile.
