I own brand new Stepway 2021 about half a year. Simple pretty good looking cheap car with a small fuel consumptions (LPG). With lithuanian fuel prices, I can drive 100 km for 5 euros! Yes, I am 100 procent safistied of my this purchase! 👍👍👍

I've owned many cars over the years and have just purchased the new Dacia Jogger in Extreme SE spec. What a car for the money! I was very skeptical about buying a budget brand car as my typical budget is normally £22k-£28k, but with the way car prices and running costs have been and the every increasing energy bills etc I've really been considering my purchase. £30k barely gets you a mid spec hatchback these days, and it's not like our salaries are getting any higher any time soon! But just under £18k for a 7 seater that can return 45mpg is a steal in my opinion. All I can say is go and look at one before you judge them by their badge. I didn't really feel like I was in a budget brand at all when i went to view one. The whole range feels very recent and completely acceptable. I've never had a 1.0 engine before either but this one pulled just as well as my 1.8 hybrid toyota. A brilliant brand that is there for the people, not for shareholders pockets

Might seem impossible but last year traveled to Paris from Wolverhampton UK on a full tank of gas and petrol and managed 900 miles without filling up .£100 total spend and that was with 4 adults and completely full boot and extras in spare seat. Very impressed

Yo as an american I can say this car is so amazing. I hate we dont have these in the states. I got to rent one and drive it for a week while i was in romania. All i can say is wow. i could not believe i was getting 50 miles per gallon. Such high gas mileage here in the states only come from hybrid vehicles. I fell in love with that car. Its just a car and thats its. Nothing fancy just gets you from point A to point B and thats the beautiful thing

Recently purchased the stepway prestige bi-fuel, well impressed with the cost of filling up-79p per ltr gas can do roughly 235/245 km on full tank.This is our 3rd change of Dacia model and not disappointed.

The Sandero is great any time but especially now, when everything is so expensive. It is so refreshing to find a good, brand new car that we can all afford and get on with our lives and family. Great review and great video as always!

LPG consumption is actually very decent, as liquified gas is less energy dense than regular petrol. Every bi-fuel car has worse mpg ratings on LPG.

Such a good package from Dacia, excellent value for money .

[gedmcmahon]

Great review.. Am amazed at the look of both cars . Dacia's designer's have done a great job. Both cars look right up to date with more expensive models from the established brands.. Even supporting Apple Carplay and Android Auto. I can see both cars selling well. Am currently looking at the Dacia Jogger.. the sheer space it provides is incredible. Once again thanks for a brilliant Honest review.

I ordered my Dacia Sandero (Comfort) in early December. At the time I wasn't sure about the LPG but I went for it as I can buy a space saver tyre. I am really looking forward to getting it. When I've told people I have ordered one I braced for the "You bought a what?" only to hear some very positive noises. Jaws drop when we talk about the LPG side of things. Even a guy who works for a major car manufacturer who has a top of the range electric car was impressed.

Had my bi-fuel for 6 months and saving a fortune - most I have paid is 73p a litre which equates to about 80 mpg in terms of what would have to pay for petrol. The other thing people don’t appreciate is that it’s much cleaner - only 2% of the particulates of petrol and 20-30% lower co2. An affordable way to be green! You also get 100 hp vs 90 hp in the petrol only model. The only drawdown is you cannot go in the channel tunnel with it but for me personally I won’t be going in any cross country journeys so not a issue.

The EuroNCAP stars thing is so confusing they're close to irrelevant. They used to mean "how safe is this car in a crash", now they actually mean a lot of other things too. Meanwhile most people don't really care about those and still think crash safety is the only thing that gives a car those stars.

Hi Doug. I really love your reviews and i sometimes download them for the information and wit with which you inform us. However, may i request you to speak of kilometers as well after mentioning Miles. And litres next to gallons, please my brother. I want to say that you're also audible enough for a ZuluSwazi 🇸🇿 guy who grew up in the rural areas of Africa without modern amenities and tech. I laud you for articulating your speech in such a profound way without rolling only to be heard by the English/European natives. Peace bro, love from Manzini, Swaziland 🇸🇿

Very impressed 👏 brilliant value for money from Dacia at the moment.

Dacia are in a place in the market we all need at the moment. Can see new
orders ramping up. Great value cars at affordable prices! I've just ordered a bi fuel prestige duster as I've luckily a morrisons and a bp close by with lpg. Just hope they don't get carried away and get more expensive like skoda.

[grahamchalk]

A couple of things: the report didn't even mention the low emissions of lpg, which is odd, considering where the world is. The other factor, as has been mentioned in the comments, is the current shortage of lpg in the UK.

[casperdog]

I have the 2020 Bi Fuel Stepway. Pre facelift. It is the same engine as a Clio. The bi fuel is okay and it is still cheaper to run lpg. It is now near me 83 p per litre. I am hoping that prices will decrease if a peace deal in Ukraine happens. The Stepway is fine. The engine is a TCe 999 cc and it is 101 bhp. Has a little turbo booster. The Dacia build quality is fine. Reliability is fine so far as I have owned it for 8 months. With the lpg version your tyre spare is the lpg tank. So you may want to get a spare get you home tyre.

[pedrolane]

Great review.waiting for mine any day soon, Looks great in black, comfort auto model.

[MrDovanele]

I have tried both the dacia sandero and dacia sandero stepaway. The sandero stepaway version has somehow more comfortable & better observation seat position when it comes to driving

[edgeyt]

My understanding from a motorhome owner is that LPG is disappearing from forecourts, prices rising significantly too. A number of motorhomers are giving up on LPG.
