It's understandable why so many automakers have moved away from selling no-frills cars. Profit margins are smaller when you're not charging extra for features we take for granted in modern cars. Relevant examples include touchscreens, alloy wheels, and electric windows. But some mainstream brands have crunched the numbers and found a way to sell basic vehicles and still make money. Dacia is one of them, and Stellantis also has a similar approach.
