Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
With 3 more door(s) than the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, the 2020 Dacia Sandero should be more practical for those wanting to carry passengers or luggage. Thanks to its extra seat, the 2020 Dacia Sandero is able to carry one additional passenger over the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Both vehicles share the exact same turning circle of 10.5 m, meaning they require the same amount of space for a full U-turn. We’re talking about a 786 kg weight shift, which places these two vehicles in completely different worlds of physics.
