Dacia is bringing camper gear to the Sandero Stepway in Spain, including a 3-by-3-meter canvas awning made from 40% recycled material and supported by three telescopic poles. This marks the first time the Sandero can be set up for camping, a new use for a car known mainly for city driving.
Until now, Dacia offered camper-style features only on its larger models. The new awning fits any Sandero Stepway equipped with roof bars, bringing the model into the lineup alongside the Jogger, Duster and Bigster, which already have InNature accessories for outdoor use.
Data from ANFAC, Faconauto and Ganvam show that the Dacia Sandero led the Spanish market with 25,926 registrations from January to September 2026, despite a 9.9% year-on-year decline in sales.
Dacia is also introducing new YouClip accessories for everyday use: a sunglasses holder and a shopping bag, both made from recycled materials and designed to attach inside the car. The additions reflect carmakers’ efforts to offer practical, eco-friendly touches.
The InNature range for Dacia’s larger cars includes the Sleep pack, which turns the rear of the car into a double bed with a 190x130 cm mattress. A 5.6-meter tent also attaches to the rear hatch, sleeps two or three people and has a vestibule beneath a wind-blocking canopy. These features have made Dacia’s larger models popular with budget travelers.
Demand for flexible cars is rising in Spain as people seek vehicles suited to city life and weekend trips. Earlier reports have noted a jump in used-car sales as buyers look for practical options that fit new routines. The Sandero’s camper kit offers drivers a low-cost way to try outdoor living while retaining everyday comfort.
In September 2026, Spain’s car market registered 93,858 new vehicles, a 10.2% increase over the previous year and its best September result in two decades, La Vanguardia reported. Electrified vehicles, including electric and plug-in hybrids, accounted for about one third of monthly sales.
By adding InNature gear to the Sandero Stepway, Dacia is betting that Spanish drivers want more than a low price: they also want options for outdoor adventures. The move keeps the Sandero in contention and challenges other brands to rethink what entry-level cars can offer.
