Following the Sandero Stepway, two new Dacia models will get the rugged-looking Stepway treatment at the Paris Auto Show: the Lodgy and Dokker MPVs.
Inspired by the looks of crossover vehicles, the Lodgy Stepway and Dokker Stepway feature special design components including body-color front bumpers (rear bumpers too on Lodgy), satin-chrome appearance front and rear skidplates, front fog lamps with satin chrome appearance surrounds, black wheel arch protection, as well as dark metal-color finish on the roof bars, rearview mirrors shells and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Both the Lodgy Stepway and Dokker Stepway are available in five body paints including the Azurite blue body paint, which is exclusive for Stepway versions. Another distinguishing feature is the “Stepway” decal on the front doors.
On the inside, Lodgy Stepway and Dokker Stepway feature special upholstery with embroidery and blue topstitching. The central instrument cluster, dials and air vents feature blue tone surrounds, in contrast with the Dark Carbon interior design scheme.
The Dacia Lodgy Stepway and Dokker Stepway versions bring standard and optional equipment including the touchscreen Media Nav multimedia and navigation system, air conditioning, a speed limiter/cruise control system and a reversing radar. Also, both trim levels come with new net storage pockets in the rear.
In terms of engines, the Lodgy Stepway is available with the petrol engine TCe 115 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, which averages 5.7 l/100 km (41.2 mpg US) for the five-seater model, with CO2 emissions of 131 g/km. The seven-seater model averages 5.9 l/100 km (39.8 mpg US) and 135 g/km. There’s also a diesel offered on the Lodgy Stepway, the dCi 110 engine which averages 4.4 l/100 km (53.4 mpg US) and 116 g/km of CO2 for the five-seater model.
As for the Dokker Stepway, the model is available with one petrol engine (only in France), the TCe 115, and one diesel engine, the dCi 90.
