FactThe Kardian's dashboard is shared with the Renault Taliant, a car most of its buyers will never see, built for a different hemisphere.
The Renault Kardian is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by Renault since November 2023, based on the third-generation Dacia Sandero and mainly sold in Latin America, South Africa, Morocco and Ukraine. It is built on a new iteration of the CMF architecture called RMP (Renault Modular Platform), sharing some parts with the Sandero and its dashboard with the Renault Taliant, and is manufactured from November 2023 in São José dos Pinhais, Brazil, for the South American market and from late 2024 in Casablanca, Morocco, for North African, Middle Eastern and eastern European markets. Design director Gilles Vidal emphasised that it was the result of joint work between the Renault styling teams in France and Brazil. A new 125 hp (93 kW) flexfuel engine, an evolution of the 1.0 TCe found on the Sandero, debuts and for the first time can be fitted with an all-new dual-clutch automatic transmission (codename DW23); in some countries such as Mexico the Kardian is powered by a 1.6-litre engine producing 114 PS. Latin NCAP tested the Kardian with six airbags in 2024 and 2025.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
