Dacia is lord and master in keeping his models up to date. The Dacia Sandero, Sandero Stepway and the Jogger now get a facelift for the second time. This brings both external and technical changes. Especially in terms of technology, a lot is changing!
Highlights Dacia Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger
Anyone who says Dacia will undoubtedly immediately think of relatively affordable models. The Dacia Sandero is no longer the cheapest new car in the Netherlands, but follows the electric spring – which picked up that title – closely. The Sandero is an outright shot in the sales rose. Since 2017 it has been the car most purchased by private individuals in Europe. The current generation of Sandero and Sandero Stepway came on the market in 2020 and two years later, together with all the other Dacia models, were given the new family view. The Dacia Jogger – in fact the station brother of the Sandero and therefore the successor of the Logan MCV – only came on the market in 2021 and underwent a facelift when he was only one year old. It is now almost 2026, but Dacia does not want to know anything. To keep the eyes of the European car buyer focused on the Sandero and Jogger, they are now undergoing a facelift again.
The difference between the Sandero and the Sandero Stepway is very clear.
Appearance
Dacia does not of course have an unlimited budget to refresh the Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger. It must spend its money efficiently and it chooses to subordinate the external adjustments to the technical. Yet we start with what changes from the outside. Both the Sandero and the Sandero Stepway and the Jogger – who always have ‘the Stepway appear’ – get new bumpers at the front. It contains tighter and right lines. The bumper work of the Sandero Stepway and Jogger is of course richer with black plastic, although Dacia has also used it in the snout of the normal Sandero. The headlights have a completely new layout, in which the LED daytime running lights somewhat accepts the shape of a horizontal -t. There is a renewed grille between the headlights. The colored horizontal ornamental parts of the past have made way for white cubes that have to go for pixels. The upper cooling opening has become a lot flatter during the crop, with the result that Dacia had to add an extra cooling slot just above the license plate.
The changes at the back are smaller in nature. The non-stepway Sandero only has new rear lights with colorless glass and behind it a T-shaped body. The Sandero Stepway gets a newly shaped rear bumper with larger plastic parts that should emphasize the adventurous image of this version. In addition, between the rear lights you will now find a dark plastic sticker with diagonal lines and a brand name written in black. Interestingly, the sticker is actually pressed into the tailgate in a designated ‘gutter’. So Dacia had to press a new tailgate for that. The changes at the Jogger are limited to the arrival of new rear lights. They also have colorless glass and a T-shaped LED signature.
New colorless glass for the rear lights, complete with new light signature.
No facelift is complete without the introduction of new hubcaps and alloy wheels and so the Sandero and Jogger get it, as well as new lacquer colors. Amber Yellow is new for the Sandero and Sandero Stepway, Sandstone is new for the Sandero and Jogger. Are you going for an expression version or a taste above it? Then you get a shark vinantne instead of a bladder.
Sandero Stepway also as a hybrid!
The engine news is considerably larger in nature. First the biggest news: the Dacia Sandero Stepway becomes available as Hybrid 155. In addition, the Stepway version is the first Sandero to get a hybrid powertrain. The regular Dacia Sandero will receive this Hybrid 155 driving line later. The jogger was already there as Hybrid 140, but that powertrain is being exchanged for the same of the Duster and Bigster known Hybrid 155 driving line that comes to the Sandero Stepway. It consists of a 109 hp 1.8 four -cylinder, a 50 hp electric motor, a high -voltage start motor, an electrified transmission with four gears for the gasoline engine and two for electric driving and a 1.4 kWh battery. The system power: 155 hp and 170 Nm.
The ass from the Sandero Stepway: the strip between the rear lights is actually deeper in the sheet metal.
The Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger were already there with 100 hp powerful ECO-G, a 1.0 three-cylinder petrol engine that also LPG-Lust. That engine makes way for the ECO-G 120. That is a 1.2 three-cylinder that brings 120 hp up. Also interesting: in contrast to the ECO-G 100, it is not only possible to link a manual gearbox, but also to a six-speed automatic transmission with double clutch. Fine! Also nice: the LPG tanks are enlarged. The Sandero and Sandero Stepway now measures 49.6 liters instead of 40 liters. The jogger is now 8.8 liters larger than before and lust 48.8 liters of LPG.
The 90 hp 1.0 TCe with manual five-speed gearbox that was available in the Sandero (Non-Stepway) makes way for TCE 100. That is also a 1.0 three-cylinder, but with 100 hp. In addition, that engine is tied to a manual six -speed gearbox. That is welcome. The 110 hp TCE 110 petrol engine that was available in the Sandero Stepway and Jogger remains. In addition, Dacia promises the introduction of a new absolute basic engine: a turbo -free 1.0 that delivers 65 hp. That SCE 65 becomes the traditional gasoline engine (Non-LPG) for the Sandero, but we don’t know what it costs yet. The chance that he will become cheaper than the Sandero with LPG engine seems small. The renewed Spring does not have to fear that the Sandero will be the title ‘Cheapest Auto in the Netherlands’ from it again.
On the inside there are especially many small but interesting changes.
Interior
The interior news is not drastic, but is still worth a textual tour. The Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger get a new steering wheel and the air grilles of the ventilation system now have a T-shape. Just like the light signature. Depending on the chosen version, the dashboard and the door panels are finished with new fabrics. In the Expression Uitvoeinrgen with Blauw Textiel, in the Journey versions with Blauw Denim. The seats of the Jogger and Sandero in Essential and Expression trim are covered with black fabric, with the Sandero Stepway in these versions the fabric is light blue.
Are you going for an ECO-G 120 with automatic transmission? Then you get – just like in the Hybrid 155 – a small switch for the transmission. Behind the steering wheel of a Dacia with ECO-G 120 and automatic transmission you will also find switching fl forces.
The central infotainment screen that is optional for the Essential version and is standard from the expression, now measures 10 instead of 8-inch. More news: there is an induction charger in the middle tunnel and depending on the chosen version you can now connect your phone wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Automatic high beam, multiview camera and electrically folding exterior mirrors are now also there and are in an optional package called Driving Pack. In addition, things like an automatic emergency brake system and fatigue recognition are standard.
Last but not least: the Sandero and Sandero Stepway get a fixing point from Dacia’s YouClip accessory system on the inside of the tailgate, the jogger gets there and on the side of the luggage space. You can click everything again, from tablet holders to clothes hangers and storage bags and for the first time also a glasses cooker and a shopping bag. Simply Clever, but on his Romanian.

The Stepway Version is the First Sandero to Receive a Hybrid Powertrain. The Regular Dacia Sandero Will Receive This Hybrid 155 Powertrain later.

The Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Jogger Were Already available with the 100 HP ECO-G, A 1.0 Three-Cylinder Petrol Engine That also Loves LPG. That Engine Makes Way for the Eco-G 120. That is A 1.2 Three-Cylinder That Brings 120 HP to the Table. Also interesting: in contrast to the eco-g 100, it can be coupled not only to a manual gearbox, but also to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Nice! Also nice: The LPG Tanks Have Been Enlarged. The one in the Sandero and Sandero Stepway Now Measures 49.6 Liters Instead of 40 Liters. The Jogger’s is now 8.8 liters larger than before and can hold 48.8 liters of LPG.
The 90 HP 1.0 TCE With Manual Five-Speed Gearbox That was available in the Sandero (Non-Stepway) Makes Way for the TCE 100. That is also A 1.0 Three-Cylinder, But with 100 HP.

The SCE 65 Will Be the Traditional Petrol Engine (Non-LPG) for the Sandero, but we don’t yet know what it will cost. We think it is unlikely that it will be cheaper than the sandero with lpg engine. The Renewed Spring Therefore does not have to fear that the Sandero Will Take the Title ‘Cheapest Car in the Netherlands’ Back From It.
