During our own test we found the Stepway provided more overall rear space than its Honda Jazz Crosstar rival. Folding the rear seats opens up a more practical boot capacity of 1, litres. Over the past few years, Dacia has found itself at the bottom of the list in our Driver Power Best manufacturer survey.
However, the poll saw the budget brand move ahead of MG and Citroen , while the Duster SUV finished in an impressive 16th place out of 75 cars. The updated third-gen Stepway addresses a lot of the quality issues highlighted by owners, so could see a climb up the rankings. The Stepway actually received a 70 per cent score for adult occupant safety, along with 72 per cent for child passenger protection.
This equates to a four-star grading, but low marks for safety assist tech 42 per cent and pedestrian protection 41 per cent mean the overall classification is reduced to two stars. Comfort-spec cars add rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera, while Prestige versions add front sensors and a blind-spot warning.
The manufacturer also includes a two-year paintwork and six-year anti-corrosion warranty. Dacia recommends annual service intervals for the Stepway, or every 18, miles - whichever comes first. If you're looking to buy a Dacia Sandero Stepway, why not visit our sister site buyacar.

New upholstery choices are also available. Users can browse the new system via the 7-inch screen and switch between the radio, GPS and Bluetooth hands-free phone functions. During our test, Media Nav seemed highly functional and the menus worked intuitively.

The perfectly-weighted system makes Sandero even more pleasant to drive. Sandero is lively and agile on the road, with firm roadholding and well-adjusted suspension. Extensive work has gone into soundproofing: new cowl to keep separate the engine, noise absorption, and the addition of an airtightness joint along the whole passenger compartment.
