Introducing the Dacia Sandero Stepway
Sandero Stepway is a rugged supermini crossover that has been completely updated with a new look and the latest technologies.
Sharing the same platform as its regular supermini sibling, the Sandero, the Stepway is the perfect vehicle for motorists who find themselves driving down muddy roads on a regular basis.
The recipe behind the Stepway is refreshingly simple, because it's essentially a regular Sandero with increased ground clearance, chunkier tyres and protective body mouldings. You know, the kind of things that make sense on a large percentage of Britain's back roads.
Explore the latest Dacia Sandero Stepway and its host of new technologies and features, below.
Design and Practicality
Practicality and versatility are what the Sandero Stepway has been built on. The raised ride height makes for effortless progress when tackling country roads, while the chunkier tyres do an excellent job of dealing with imperfections on the road.
The boot space is the same as the Sandero supermini, with 328 litres at your disposal. However, an adjustable boot floor and modular roof bars ensure you have plenty of flexibility when transporting larger items.
For added practicality, the rear seats fold down (split seats feature depending on model), while there are additional storage compartments and accessories dotted throughout the cabin.
Technology and Safety
Dacia have always punched firmly above their weight with the equipment they offer in their range of vehicles, so it should come as no great surprise to learn that the Sandero Stepway continues in similar fashion.
All models come with LED daytime running lights as standard, as well as new safety features such as Active Emergency Braking System and E-call, which is an automated system that will call the emergency services in the event of an accident.
Sandero Stepway is available with a variety of features, depending on the model you choose, which include:
- Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Automatic high low beam headlights
- Lane-keeping assist system
- Traffic sign recognition with speed alert
- Drowsiness detection camera
Engines and Performance
In-line with Dacia's usual approach, the powertrain line-up has been revised following a recent facelift to add even more simplicity to the Sandero Stepway. We mean simple in all the best ways too, as all Sandero Stepway models now come blessed with a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol powertrain that is a do-it-all setup, despite its smaller output figures.
Producing just short of 110bhp, it offers a nimble driving experience across a wide variety of terrains, making the Sandero Stepway just as at home in urban areas as it is out on countryside forays. Economy is also a strength, with up to 50.4mpg combined being achievable, while Stop and Start technology features as standard, helping to reduce emissions and fuel consumption in congested areas.
