What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
As a motoring enthusiast, I'm supposed to detest crossovers, and especially one such as the Stepway that bases its design off of a raised platform hatchback. My engineering mind knows how difficult this is to get right but my sensibilities remind me that this is a decent business practice and that the layman is none the wiser. In fact, when it's based on the existing Dacia platform, you have a recipe for a budget-friendly compact crossover that is affordable to run and can handle our pock-marked roads.
