The 2026 Dacia Sandero Stepway brings European drivers a combination of practicality, updated styling, and smarter technology. The compact SUV focuses on essentials while improving day-to-day usability.
Exterior Design: LED Signature and Robust Look
Sandero Stepway now features an inverted ‘T’ LED light signature connecting seamlessly with the redesigned grille. Pixel-like white dots create a modern and cohesive front appearance.
The rear LED lights are vertical, extending visually along the wings. A new matt black strip connects the rear lights for a bolder stance, while Amber Yellow adds a fresh metallic color option.
Starkle® Body Protection and Wheel Upgrades
Stepway includes Starkle® protection on wheel arches, lower body, and fog light surrounds. This recycled, durable material reduces scratches and has a lower carbon footprint. New wheel designs complete the exterior refresh.
Interior Comfort and Ergonomics
The cabin features new durable fabrics across seats, doors, and dashboard. Expression and Journey trims have black or blue denim upholstery, while Extreme retains washable MicroCloud TEP in green and black with rubber floor mats.
The new steering wheel improves ergonomics, and on hybrid 155 models, the E-Shifter enhances comfort with intuitive operation.
Enhanced Connectivity
A 10-inch central touchscreen with connected navigation is standard on higher trims. Wireless charging, a refreshed 7-inch digital cluster, and YouClip® accessory anchor points improve daily convenience.
Stepway includes three anchor points for practical attachments. Accessories like phone holders and storage pouches add functional versatility for everyday journeys.
Hybrid 155 Powertrain for Smooth Driving
The hybrid 155 engine on Stepway combines a 109 hp 1.8-litre petrol engine with two electric motors and a 1.4 kWh battery. The system delivers 155 hp, 170 Nm of torque, and automatic shifting without a clutch.
City driving can use all-electric mode up to 80% of the time. The powertrain reduces fuel consumption and emissions by 10% compared with the previous hybrid 140 model.
Safety and Convenience Features
Sandero Stepway includes automatic emergency braking, driver attention alert, automatic headlights, multi-view cameras, and power folding mirrors. The My Safety button allows quick adjustments to ADAS settings.
Summary
The 2026 Dacia Sandero Stepway combines rugged design, LED lights, hybrid 155 performance, and smart interior technology. Practical features, advanced connectivity, and safety upgrades make it ideal for European driving.
