Dacia Sandero Stepway (2021-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Undercuts its rivals by thousands of pounds | More expensive than a regular Sandero |
| Improved quality and comfort compared with the previous model | Lags behind the latest safety standards |
| The optional automatic gearbox is smooth | Entry-level cars are quite basic |
Quick Summary
The Dacia Sandero Stepway (2021-present) offers exceptional value, providing a significant amount of car for its price. Building on the success of its Sandero sibling, it presents a more aspirational SUV-styled package while retaining the appealing, no-nonsense honesty Dacia buyers love. Based on the latest Renault Clio platform, it brings improved technology and safety features compared to its predecessor, yet remains one of the cheapest new cars available.
Practicality is a strong suit, with generous headroom and legroom for four adults and a decent boot space, enhanced by split-folding rear seats on most models. While driving dynamics are secure and predictable, the controls can feel spongey and the TCe 90 engine, though eager, is not particularly powerful or refined. Running costs are low, with official fuel economy over 50 mpg for the TCe 90, reasonable insurance, and excellent residual values, retaining up to 57% of its value after three years.
Best for: Budget-conscious drivers, those seeking a practical and value-packed supermini with SUV styling, buyers prioritising low running costs and strong residual values.
Not ideal for: Buyers who demand premium interior quality, cutting-edge safety features (beyond basic AEB), dynamic driving performance, or a refined engine.

The Verdict
You should buy the Sandero Stepway if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical supermini with SUV styling, or value low running costs and strong residual values.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium interior quality, cutting-edge safety features (beyond basic AEB), dynamic driving performance, or a refined engine.
Competitive Position: The Dacia Sandero Stepway (2021-present) stands out in the supermini-SUV segment for its unparalleled value. While it may not match rivals like the Renault Captur for interior polish or the Hyundai Kona for dynamic driving, its significantly lower price point, improved practicality, and modern platform make it an incredibly compelling choice. Its strong residual values further enhance its appeal as a smart, budget-friendly option.

4.6 Overall rating
(10 reviews)Enjoying the car. Still finding my way around it - many more functions than I had expected (handsfree mobile!) cannot yet sort the radio properly but very happy with it
The car is very comfy and easy to drive. Good size boot, satnav, electric windows at the back, The car is good value for money. First time owner of a Stepway.
Lovely to drive, lots of room and cheap to run, big boot. A brilliant car for familys. You cant compare it to anything else as theres nothing out there thats as big and cheap to run
Its good that most of the cars have sat nav but not all of them, witch would be a great idea,very help full for a lot of drivers,
I switched from a diesel Kia Soul to a petrol Dacia Sandero Stepway. I chose this car because of the roomy boot and ride height, features Id had in the Kia. I was slightly worried about losing some of the luxuries Id had, but came to the conclusion that fewer bits means fewer bits to break! Having to use the key to open the boot is a bit of a pain; not being able to fold wing mirrors in is something I miss in car parks, and not being able to adjust seat height means Im sitting on a cushion to see over the wheel. I chose this particular car over others for sale at the time because it has rear parking sensors, something not all models have, and I felt it would be a mistake to go without after so many years of having them. Its a basic car, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. Overall, Im finding it easy to drive and looking forward to much better fuel economy than my previous car.
