Review of the 2022 Dacia Sandero Stepway 1.0 TCe Comfort 5dr, The 2022 Dacia Sandero Stepway 1.0 TCe Comfort 5dr presents itself as a highly appealing choice for those seeking a practical and affordable crossover with a dash of rugged styling. As part of the Dacia brand’s philosophy of delivering value-for-money cars, the Sandero Stepway doesn't disappoint in offering an impressive mix of features at a competitive price point., Exterior Design and Styling, The Sandero Stepway stands out with its SUV-inspired design, raised ride height, and plastic cladding, which give it a rugged appearance compared to its hatchback sibling. The Stepway version includes roof rails, front skid plates, and body cladding, enhancing its off-road look, even if it’s more suited for urban adventures than serious off-roading. The design is modern and clean, with a simple but purposeful aesthetic., Interior and Comfort, Step inside, and you’ll find a spacious, well-laid-out cabin. Despite its budget nature, the Stepway Comfort trim comes reasonably equipped. The seats are comfortable with good support, making it a decent car for longer journeys. Soft-touch materials are limited, and there is a lot of hard plastic throughout the cabin, but everything feels robust and durable., One of the standout features of the Comfort trim is the Media Display with an 8-inch touchscreen, offering Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and a crisp display. It’s intuitive to use and adds a tech-savvy edge to the Sandero Stepway’s otherwise utilitarian interior. There’s also a rear parking sensor and cruise control, which enhances the driving experience., Passenger space is generous for a car of this size, comfortably accommodating four adults, while the boot space, at 328 litres, is adequate for everyday use, with the option to expand it further by folding down the rear seats., In summary, the Dacia Sandero Stepway excels at being a simple, cost-effective car that delivers where it matters most. , Grey Fabric interior, Red, £12,700
