Start with what the Dacia 1325 is: a 5-door hatchback with 1.4 L I4, built from 1991 to 1996, when airbags, anti-lock brakes and Japanese build quality became the world standard. What it meant takes a little longer.
Where it came from
The Dacia 1325 (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdatʃi.a] ), also known as 1325 Liberta or simply as Liberta, was a car manufactured by Romanian auto marque Dacia from 1991 to 1996.
Under the skin
The engine is 1.4 L I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 935 kg. Drive goes through a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2441 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
