Overview
The Dacia Sandero Stepway is a Mini 5-doors model represented in the catalogue by three generations, with restyled versions included within the second and third generations. The recorded production period begins in 2008 and continues in the current third-generation restyling, which started in 2022. Across the five recorded production phases, the catalogue lists 20 versions. Every listed version has FWD, while the engine range covers Gasoline, Diesel and LPG powertrains with Manual, Robotic or Variable transmissions.
Dacia Sandero Stepway generations
The first-generation Dacia Sandero Stepway was produced from 2008 to 2012 as a Mini 5-doors model. It has four catalogue versions: two 1.6 i MT variants producing 85 hp and 101 hp, plus two 1.5 dCi MT variants producing 68 hp and 90 hp.
The second generation ran from 2012 to 2016, also with a Mini 5-doors body and four initial versions. Its restyling is recorded from 2016 to 2020 and adds four more versions within the same generation. Across the original and restyled phases, the second generation therefore contains eight catalogue entries, spanning Gasoline, Diesel and LPG engines as well as Manual and Robotic transmissions.
The third generation began in 2020 with three Mini 5-doors versions and continued until 2022 in its initial form. The third-generation restyling started in 2022 and remains current in the supplied data, adding five versions. Together, the two phases contain eight catalogue entries. The range includes Gasoline, LPG and Diesel engines, with Manual and Variable transmissions.

Among versions with measured performance, the third-generation restyled 1.0 TCe MT with 110 hp records the quickest acceleration at 10.0 seconds and the highest top speed at 180 km/h. Among versions with measured combined consumption, the second-generation 1.5 dCi Easy-R has the lowest figure at 3.8 L/100 km. These are catalogue measurements rather than estimates; where the source provides no result, the table says “not measured.”
Dacia Sandero Stepway dimensions, weight and capacities
External dimensions, interior measurements, trunk space and wheel sizes are not measured in the supplied data. Ground clearance is also not measured for the first and second generations. Every listed third-generation version has 201 mm of ground clearance.
Recorded first-generation kerb weights range from 1062 kg for both 1.6 i MT versions to 1114 kg for both 1.5 dCi MT versions. Gross weights range from 1561 to 1615 kg. All four versions have a 50 L tank.
The original second generation ranges from 1023 kg kerb weight for the 0.9 Tce MT to 1083 kg for the 1.5 dCi MT and 1.5 dCi Easy-R. Its gross weights run from 1535 to 1600 kg, and every version has a 50 L tank. In the restyled range, kerb weight is 1222 kg for the two 1.0 MT versions and the 0.9 Easy-R, while the 1.5 TD MT weighs 1226 kg. Gross weight is 1544 kg for the three lighter versions and 1645 kg for the diesel. Tank capacity remains 50 L.
For the initial third generation, the 1.0 TCe MT and 1.0 TCe CVT each weigh 1077 kg kerb and 1578 kg gross. The 1.0 ECO-G MT weighs 1134 kg kerb and 1618 kg gross, making it 57 kg heavier at kerb weight than the equivalent 91 hp Gasoline versions. Tank capacity is not measured for these three versions. For every third-generation restyled version, kerb weight and gross weight are not measured, while tank capacity is 50 L.
Dacia Sandero Stepway automatic options and which version to choose
For an automatic-style transmission, the catalogue offers Robotic Easy-R versions in the second generation and Variable CVT versions in the third generation. The second-generation 0.9 Tce Easy-R reaches 100 km/h in 11.0 seconds, matching the later restyled 0.9 Easy-R, but its measured combined consumption is 5.1 L/100 km versus 6.6 L/100 km. The Diesel 1.5 dCi Easy-R is slower at 12.0 seconds, yet its 3.8 L/100 km combined figure is the lowest measured value in the range.
For the strongest recorded output, choose the third-generation restyled 1.0 TCe MT with 110 hp and 200 Nm. It has 19 hp and 58 Nm more than the restyled 91 hp 1.0 TCe MT, and its measured performance is 10.0 seconds to 100 km/h with a 180 km/h top speed.
For maximum recorded torque, the second-generation restyled 1.5 TD MT produces 224 Nm. That is 4 Nm more than the 220 Nm second-generation 1.5 dCi versions and the third-generation restyled 1.5 dCi MT. Buyers comparing Gasoline and LPG versions of the restyled second-generation 1.0 MT get the same 101 hp, 160 Nm, 999 cc engine specification and 5-speed Manual transmission; their measured combined consumption differs by 1.0 L/100 km, at 5.0 L/100 km for Gasoline and 6.0 L/100 km for LPG.
Price, equipment or spec levels, trunk capacity, engine problems and reliability are not measured in the supplied catalogue data, so no claims about them can be made here.
