Which is the most popular engine in the Dacia Sandero Stepway?

Petrol engines are among the most popular because there were more options available. The entry-level TCe 90 rated for 89bhp is the option that will keep the cost to a minimum, which is what most Sandero Stepway buyers are trying to do.

Which are the most popular model variants?

The newest lineup includes the Essential, Expression and Extreme models, but Comfort and Prestige also used to be options. The Comfort is among the most popular used models, with a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen display, fog lights, automatic wipers and rear parking sensors.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Keen-eyed buyers should look out for the 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. A centre armrest and an electric parking brake are also available on some used examples. You should also look for additional safety features such as blind-spot warning, parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking.

Is the Dacia Sandero Stepway a good family car?

Yes, the Sandero Stepway has adequate interior room for a family. The rear seat is accommodating to baby carriers and includes ISOFIX mounts. There is also a large amount of boot space.

Is there a hybrid version of the Dacia Sandero Stepway?

No, Dacia hasn't released a plug-in hybrid version of the Sandero Stepway. The most efficient model available is the older 1.5 dCi diesel that produces 88bhp and is rated at 74mpg.

Is the Dacia Sandero Stepway available as an automatic?

Yes, Dacia did include a CVT (continuously variable transmission) option with some Sandero Stepway models. However, this automatic transmission isn't a popular choice and it will be a lot easier to find a model with a manual gearbox.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Because the Dacia Sandero Stepway was designed to be a budget-friendly vehicle, four-wheel drive wasn't included as an option. Instead, power is sent to the front wheels with every engine option available.

Engines and transmissions

Dacia has offered a wide range of powertrain options with the Sandero Stepway, including petrol, diesel and LPG. The power was transferred to the front wheels through an automatic or a manual transmission.

TCe 110 petrol engine produces 108bhp for a 9.7-second 0-60mph time and achieves a fuel economy rating of 45.6mpg.
TCe 100 bi-fuel engine provides a boost to 98bhp, allowing for up to 800 miles of driving when both tanks are full and used in parallel, equating to around 48.7mpg.

Practicality

The Dacia Sandero Stepway is a practical crossover with a fun hatchback style and a spacious interior designed for small families.

Interior space

Two adults fit comfortably in the outer rear seats with ample headroom.
ISOFIX points are available to secure child seats, and the back seat is well-equipped for bulky, rear-facing models.

Boot space

Adjustable boot floor reduces the lip for easier loading or makes more carrying space.

Standard safety kit includes pretensioners and airbags (front and side).
