I have a Sandero Stepway BI Fuel Comfort
It did inform me LPG low 30miles away it said low LPG on the info.

JUST RAN OUT OF lpg at 290 miles on Stepway thats good on 33 litres.
When I ran mine out, it took 44 litres to refill it not 33.
When I refilled at the "LPG low" warning it took just 32 or 33.
Checked the manual, the LPG tank capacity is "approx 40 litres" useable.
 
Interesting that the new model has an electronic handbrake. Scrapping my wife’s ancient Laguna meant she had to drive our Passat. That had an electronic handbrake, which she hated - it was either on or off, and the button was on the dashboard - so as it was 12 years old we decided to switch to a smaller car, the Stepway II with a normal handbrake. No more juggling at hill starts.
I’d be interested to read what owners of the new model think, and how it works in practice.
This car has hill hold on the foot brake.
You can do hill starts without the handbrake.
 
Good review. I have a Comfort which only lacks the Prestige armrest(the regular armrest does what it should without blocking belts, gearshift or parking brake)the robot handbrake and blindspot warning. The techy features I've already tried in a leased Nissan, and disliked them, along with lane assist and adaptive cruise, I switched them all off if I could.

I really like the reversing camera and sensors though. The visibility out of the rear window is very poor and our car lives in a cramped underground carpark.
Finally MPG. We're getting just 30/31 on LPG, mostly due to the 1500 foot climb each way every time we go out. Tried ECO mode and got it up to 32 but at the cost of a near undriveable car, so ECO stays off.

I like it. It's a roomy, well equipped car with little or no competition on price. We bought it outright from stock with no delivery delay at all, and plan on keeping it many years.
 
Viewed the MG3 a few times ( pre ugly facelift ) on display in our local shopping centre and I was always struck by the rough and ready finish, and a design that looked like it was from the 1980s. The old tech 1.5 petrol seemed less than competitive too. It's only virtues seemed to be cheapness, and it's zombie branding.
Dacia match the cheapness with Sandero, but it's a best selling modern product based on latest Renault platforms that sells on its own merits. In comparison SIAC wouldn't sell a single car to British consumers without that nostalgic MG badge.
