The upgraded line-up goes on sale in the UK from today, offering even greater value for money with a stronger look, the latest technology and improved efficiency across the range. Now, more than ever, Sandero and Sandero Stepway offer greater value for money with a price-to-features ratio that is still unique to the market, with Sandero remaining the UK’s most affordable car.
For 2026, both models gain a refreshed exterior design with Dacia’s new inverted-‘T’ LED light signature and redesigned front and rear bumpers, giving the pair a more modern and robust appearance. The Sandero Stepway further strengthens its adventurous character with additional body protection in Starkle®.

Sandero also introduces a more responsive TCe 100 engine for improved everyday driveability.
Sandero and Sandero Stepway play a key role in the enduring success of Dacia. Sandero is Europe’s best-selling retail car, a position it has held since 2017. In 2024, Sandero was even Europe’s best-selling car across all channels, and the first Dacia to sell more than 300,000 units in a single year (309,392 units, an increase of 14.5% on 2023, including Sandero Stepway which accounts for around two-thirds of the total).
