Dacia 1300 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1969–1981) — First Generation
The first-generation Dacia 1300 offers Sedan and Estate 5-door bodies, giving you a choice between a separate boot and a more flexible load area. For a car of this age, mechanical condition deserves close attention.
The 1.4 MT versions offer one example of the Dacia 1300 engine range, pairing gasoline power with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive in both body styles. You select the gears yourself, using lower gears when hills or heavier loads demand them. During a test drive, check clutch engagement and ease of gear changes.
