2016 Dacia Sandero Stepway Facelift
Dacia has chosen the 2016 Paris Auto Show to present
the revamped Sandero, Sandero Stepway, and Logan MCV family.
Based on the second-generation cars, which have been
around for the past 4 years, the affordable vehicles now boast a new lighting
signature on both ends, different pattern for the LED DRLs, reworked bumpers,
and updated wheels. The Sandero Stepway also has a tweaked front fascia that
picks up on the design cues of the Duster.
There's a new four-spoke steering wheel inside,
which brings the horn push to its center, and on higher-end versions, it has
the so-called 'Soft Feel' finish. Satin-effect chrome trimmings for the air
vent surrounds and center console fascia are also found in the cabin, while the
Sandero Stepway now adds chrome-plated interior door releases, and new fabric
upholstery.
New driver aids are found across the range and they
include, depending on the selected grade, a rearview camera, Hill Start Assist,
but the most important addition is that of a new 1.0-liter, three-cylinder
petrol unit, known as SCe 75, rated at 75 PS. Offered as the new
entry-level engine, it can be had with the Easy-R automated manual
transmission, while other units that can be paired with this gearbox are the
TCe 90, TCe 90 LPG, dCi 75, and dCi 90.
