Dacia Sandero Stepway history

The Sandero and Sandero Stepway went on sale in Europe in 2008, but we didn’t get them until the 2012 update.

What features does the Dacia Sandero Stepway have?

Entry-level models come with all of the essentials, such as electric windows and Bluetooth control, but watch out for some of the older base-spec models which didn’t come with air-con (most models do have it).

Mid-spec options are better buys, with a built-in touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as keyless entry, a reversing camera and parking sensors.

You can also unscrew the Sandero Stepway’s roof bars and mount them side-to-side in order to place a bike rack or roof box on top, so there’s no need to buy extra bars.

It has the same 328-litre boot as the standard Sandero, which is about the same as other cars in this class.

Is the Dacia Sandero Stepway reliable?

Dacia is a budget brand that’s proven popular recently with rising costs, but because it has the backing of Renault, you’re still guaranteed to be buying a well-built product. Because of the partnership, spare parts should be readily available and affordable.

How much does the Dacia Sandero Stepway cost to run?

Every model is designed with efficiency in mind, and some can run on LPG which can be slightly cheaper. Furthermore, every used Dacia Sandero Stepway sits in fairly low insurance groups.

Who is the Dacia Sandero Stepway suitable for?

This car is first and foremost built with budget in mind, but a used Dacia Sandero for sale is actually a great pick for growing families and anyone living in and around town.

Also consider cars like the Ford Fiesta Active or Citroen C3 Aircross, but neither is as affordable as the Dacia.
