Dacia announces major design and technology updates for the Sandero, Stepway, and Jogger models

On October 2, 2026, Dacia announced an extensive refresh for its popular models: the Sandero, Sandero Stepway, and Jogger. This update aims to enhance the vehicles' core features, such as design, technology, engine performance, and safety, while maintaining the brand's signature value-for-money market position. The Sandero remains a cornerstone of the company's success, having been Europe's best-selling car for retail customers since 2017 and achieving the top spot in total sales in 2024.

Key exterior modifications include a new Dacia brand identity characterized by an inverted 'T' LED light signature integrated into the front grille and 'pixel' LED rear lights. Specifically for the Stepway and Jogger models, the manufacturer has introduced protective components made from Starkle®, a material composed of 20% recycled plastic, intended to improve durability and reduce the environmental footprint. Inside the cabins, Dacia has focused on upgrading ergonomics and connectivity systems to align with modern requirements. These changes follow a consistent strategy of modernization while ensuring the affordability that helped these models establish a dominant market share in the European automotive sector.
