Nokia announced it has partnered with Renault Brazil for the release of Sandero Nokia, a special edition of Renault Sandero, that will come with a "complete mobility solution" offered by
the Finnish handset manufacturer.
The new Sandero Nokia will be exclusively available in
Brazil, in a limited edition: only 1,000 cars are scheduled to be manufactured. The mobility solution that Nokia integrated in the new car includes the high-end Nokia N95 handset, the Nokia CK-20W car kit and Nokia's LD-3W GPS module.
N95 itself features GPS, as well as other advanced features, like integrated Nokia Maps, a 2.6 inch display with 16 million colors, a 5 Megapixel camera with flash, auto focus and video recording, advanced Internet capabilities, Music and Video players and so on.
Sandero
Nokia is a modified version of the best Sandero edition, namely Privilθge 1.6 16V Hi-Flex, and is the first compact-class car from the Brazilian market to have GPS by default. The new vehicle has a suggested retail price of 17,650 Euros (about $27,700).
"This car will appeal to a target audience of young, energetic males who want the industry-leading mobile technology of Nokia combined with the quality of a Renault Sandero. This marks the next generation of mobile connectivity," declared Rodrigo Link, Manager, Enhancements Sales, Nokia Brazil.
Sandero is a model produced by Renault in its Brazilian factory from Curitiba, and it's targeted mainly for the South American market. However, the car will also be available in Europe, but under the name of Dacia Sandero. Dacia is the European subsidiary of Renault and will produce Sandero models in its own factory from Romania.
Sandero Nokia is the second
car manufactured by Renault and improved by Nokia, after the Renault Twingo Nokia Edition, which comes with a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
