The Dacia SupeRNova represented a subcompact or supermini automobile manufactured by the Romanian company Automobile Dacia between 2000 and 2003.
History
Succeeding the Dacia Nova, the SupeRNova was designed with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration mounted transversely, featuring a liftback style. It marked the first model released after Renault's acquisition of Dacia in 1999. Significant enhancements included the integration of a new 1.4L "Energy" engine from Renault and an updated five-speed transmission, which replaced the previous Cleon-Fonte-based engine and the domestically developed gearbox.
Equipped with a catalyzed, multi-point fuel-injected E7J inline-four engine, the vehicle offered improved performance and met Euro 2 emission standards; certain 2003 variants even complied with Euro 3 regulations. The level of equipment was elevated, introducing features such as air conditioning, alloy wheels, and electrically operated front windows on higher-spec versions. The SupeRNova was available in five trims: the entry-level "Europa," the intermediate "Confort," "Rapsodie," the sportier "Campus" launched in 2002, and the premium "Clima," which came standard with air conditioning.
