Dacia SupeRNova

The Dacia SupeRNova was a supermini built by Dacia from 2000 to 2003. It was a facelift of the Nova and the first model Dacia released after Renault took over the company in 1999. Like the Nova it was a transversely mounted, front-engined, front-wheel-drive liftback. Its main change was a 1.4 litre Renault Energy engine, the catalyzed and multi-port injected version of the E7J four-cylinder, joined to a five-speed JH3 manual gearbox in place of the old Cléon-Fonte unit and Romanian gearbox. It was sold in five trim levels, Europa, Confort, Rapsodie, Campus and Clima, and met the Euro 2 emission rules, with some 2003 versions meeting Euro 3.
