The facelifted Dacia Dokker Stepway combined the rugged aesthetic of a crossover with the unmatched interior volume of a leisure activity vehicle. Featuring protective plastic body cladding, satin chrome skid plates and a slightly increased ground clearance, routine Dacia Dokker maintenance is critical to ensure that adventurous styling does not mask running gear fatigue incurred on rutted countryside tracks.
Under the bonnet, top-spec versions feature the modern 1.3 TCe GPF engine equipped with a gasoline particulate filter, or the economical 1.5 Blue dCi engine with AdBlue aftertreatment. The 1.3 TCe provides robust pulling power even with a fully laden boot, but demands high-grade synthetic oil to prevent soot build-up on intake valves. Diesels require regular motorway cruising to allow full DPF regeneration cycles and prevent SCR heater failure.
