One by one, Dacia is releasing pricing for its UK bound models. Following the announcements on the Sandero supermini and Duster compact SUV that start at £5,995 and the £8,995 respectively, the Renault Group-owned brand said on Monday that the Sandero Stepway will be available from May 2013 with prices ranging from £7,995 to £10,795, or from £600 more than equivalent Sandero models.
The Stepway is the crossover version of the Sandero five-door supermini with 40mm extra ground clearance and a tougher exterior look thanks to the black body cladding, satin chrome roof bars, front and rear scuff plates, black wheelarch extenders and 16-inch alloy wheels.
There are two engine options starting with a direct-injection, turbocharged, three-cylinder 0.9-litre producing 89hp (90PS) and returning 52.3 mpg UK (43.5mpg US or 5.4 lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 125g/km.
Those who prefer diesels can opt for the 1.5-liter dCi 90 with 89hp (90PS) that is good for 70.6mpg UK (equal to 58.9mpg or 4.0 lt/100km) and CO2 emissions of 105g/km.
Customers can pick between two trim levels. The base Ambiance offers Bluetooth, metallic paint, a radio/CD system, ESC, plus driver, passenger and front side airbags, as standard.
The Lauréate grade adds air conditioning, a chrome front grille, full electric windows, electric heated door mirrors, a MediaNav seven-inch touchscreen multimedia system with satellite navigation, AUX and USB inputs and four speakers, cruise control, speed limiter and rear parking sensors.
