Romanian car manufacturer, Dacia, has been a subsidiary of the French carmaker Renault since 1999. They build economical cars, which sell quite well in the eastern part of Europe. At the Barcelona Motor Show, Renault introduced a new model called the Dacia Sandero Stepway. Renault hasn’t given details about the drivetrain, but it is anticipated that it will be offered in two versions: FWD and AWD. The AWD system would be the same as on the Nissan Qashqai.
Dacia Sandero Stepway will be available with 1.6-liter 90hp gasoline or dCi 70 diesel engine. Compared to the Sandero hatchback, the Stepway has a higher ground clearance (up 20 mm). Although it looks small, the car can seat five tall adults and offers enough room for their weekend gear. Pricing is expected to start around 10,000 euros and sales will begin in September.
