Used Dacia Sandero Stepway cars for sale

Dacia Sandero Stepway buying guide

Sandero Stepway models come in a handful of different engine and spec options. This guide will cover each in more detail so you can choose the right version for you.

What Dacia Sandero Stepway trim levels are there?

Essential trim includes body-coloured bumpers, steel wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, and a radio with USB, aux-in and Bluetooth.

Comfort trim is the next up and gets choice upgrades including alloy wheels, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Prestige is the range-topping trim. This adds upgraded larger alloy wheels, climate control, and blind-spot detection along with some choice exterior upgrades.

Dacia Sandero Stepway interior and technology

Dacia is known for making affordable vehicles so you’re not going to find the kind of premium cabin experience you’d get in a Mercedes, for example. However, Dacia still gives you a lot for your money, with lots of storage cubbies and all the on-board technology you’d expect on higher trims. While the materials lack the premium feel of more expensive cars, they’re very well screwed together.

Dacia’s infotainment system, available on Comfort trim and above, offers the basic features you’d expect, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s fairly easy to use and responsive to the touch.

Space inside is strong compared to other cars in this class thanks to the Dacia’s slightly longer dimensions. Four adults can fit in with enough head and elbow room, but pushing this to five will only work for shorter journeys. Boot space is decent for the class with enough room for a pushchair or a couple of weekend bags.

Dacia Sandero Stepway engine range explained

Dacia Sandero Stepway 0.9 TCe

This three-cylinder 0.9-litre turbo petrol engine was only offered on previous generation Sandero Stepway models built until 2021. With 90hp on tap, it completes the 0-62mph sprint in 11 seconds – that means it’ll feel fine around town but might feel slightly strained when overtaking on the motorway.

Dacia Sandero Stepway 1.0 TCe

The current-generation Stepway now comes with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine as standard. This also makes around 90hp although the 0-62mph time increases to around 12 seconds thanks to the new car’s extra weight.

Dacia Sandero Stepway 1.0 TCe Bi-Fuel

Dacia also offers the 1.0-litre petrol engine on both current and previous-generation Sandero Stepways in Bi-Fuel guise. These models include an LPG tank to allow the car to run on both petrol and LPG, which is currently noticeably cheaper at the pumps. The car handles all the fuel switching automatically, so you just need to keep both tanks topped up.
