The 2003 Dacia Solenza was a compact saloon car produced by the Romanian automaker Dacia, a subsidiary of Renault. It was launched in 2003 as a successor to the Dacia Nova and aimed to offer a budget-friendly and reliable vehicle for the European market. The Solenza was based on the Renault 19 platform and adopted its robust construction and simple design. Under the hood, it was powered by a range of Renault-sourced petrol engines, primarily a 1.4-liter unit with various power outputs. While performance wasn't its strong point, the Solenza was praised for its fuel efficiency and affordability, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious drivers.

The Solenza's exterior design was functional rather than flashy, featuring a boxy silhouette with a strong emphasis on practicality. The interior was equally utilitarian, with hard plastics dominating the dashboard and upholstery. However, it offered a spacious passenger cabin, especially for rear-seat occupants, and a surprisingly large boot for its size. Despite its modest origins, the Solenza proved to be a reliable and durable car, especially in the hands of owners who were willing to carry out regular maintenance. The car's simple technology made it easy to work on, with readily available parts and straightforward repair procedures. However, its limited safety features and relatively basic interior amenities were a reflection of its budget-oriented nature. Despite its eventual discontinuation in 2008, the Dacia Solenza left a legacy as a simple, affordable, and surprisingly practical car that provided basic transportation at a value-for-money proposition.
