This page collects news about the Romanian car market and the cars built there. Dacia is the Romanian name that matters: founded in 1966, headquartered and mainly built in Mioveni, and sold across Europe. The brand is part of Renault Group, so its pricing news usually lands in France first, as with the Striker.

Ford is the other large manufacturer, with the Puma and the electric Puma Gen-E built at Craiova. Romania is also the first European market for iCAUR, which launched there with the V27.
