The Dacia 1320 (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdatʃi.a] ) was a car manufactured by Romanian auto marque Dacia from 1987 to 1990.

History

The Dacia 1320 was a hatchback version of the second generation Dacia 1310 (1983–1989), but with new front grille, headlights and a much improved dashboard that were later used in the third generation Dacia 1310 (1989–1993). The front used was called "CN1", standing for Concepția Noastră 1, translated to "our creation 1". It was replaced by Dacia 1325 Liberta in the early 1990s.[1] The 1320 was sold in 2567 units, most were used as taxis due to low sales, trying to eek out any sort of profitability. The 1320 was created to rival the Lada Samara and Skoda Favorit and was flawed from the beginning. It got thinner sheet metal than the 1310 as well as a bad interior fit and finish.
