Engines keep fuel use low. The TCe 115 petrol returns 5.7 l/100 km combined in the five-seater. The dCi 110 diesel returns 4.4 l/100 km. A 50-litre tank is fitted. Eco mode can cut use further by limiting power and air-con output.
Servicing stays simple and cheap. Oil, oil filter and fuel filter changes fall due every 20,000 km or yearly. An oil-control system may call for an earlier oil change if driving is severe. Long intervals help control running costs.
Safety kit is solid for the class. Four airbags, ESP, ABS with brake assist and Isofix points on the second row are standard. The car scored three stars in the 2012 Euro NCAP test. Height-adjustable front belts and head restraints are also standard on Stepway.
The car is built to last with wax-sealed cavities and underbody stone-chip protection. Three-year/100,000 km warranty, two-year paint cover and six-year anti-corrosion warranty give ownership peace of mind. Residual values have tested well in the compact-van class.
