What is better to choose a Renault Duster or Renault Sundero Stepway? Test Drive Renault Sandero Stepway: old against a new comparison of Renault Stepway 2 and Kajar

Is there any meaning to significantly overpay for the ability to use, allegedly cross-drive versions of the car? In order to find out this feature, we will compare two cars and find out what is better - or. Both cars look more than worthy, although they have some drawbacks, however, like any other car. Judging by the factory data, then the Renault Sandero ground clearance is only 15.5 centimeters, which is definitely not enough for comfortable movement in domestic roads. Regarding steady, then everything is more optimistic here. Road clearance in this case amounted to 19.5 centimeters. Thus, the size difference was 4 centimeters.

Sandero Stepweed.

Currently, the crossover is called a wide variety of cars that have appeared over the past few years. There were also those options that work on one axis, however, they have a much larger road clearance and the corresponding body indicators.

Package

Regarding French cars Sandero and Stepway, then in the richest equipment, they have very good options for complete sets. Both of these cars consist of high-quality engine in 102. horsepower, on five-speed mechanical box Transmissions. For comparison, two cars will be used, which consist in one technical equipment. Regarding the cost, then Sandero costs 609 thousand rubles, which is regarding the second car, it will cost 651 thousand rubles. Thus, the difference between these two versions of the car amounted to 42 thousand rubles.

Regarding the bodies, both of these cars are almost identical to each other. If we talk about the version of STEPWAY, then there are quite interesting and unusual black, as well as silver parts from plastic, which are on the roof. Also there are also small, but fairly interesting internal changes in the cabin. First of all, the speedometer scale and tissue upholstery are significantly different, which is also performed in a slightly different format, uses an interesting and sufficiently unusual embroidery stepway on chairs, backs and rugs. Apparently, this feature was created in order for motorists to understand what version of the car they go.

Off-road features

With regard to road lumen indicators, then in this case the difference is exactly 4 centimeters. An option called Sandero has a ground clearance by 15.5 centimeters, which is regarding the second option, then there is already 19.5 centimeters of the lumen. The changes in this case suggest that several other springs began to be used, as for the Sundero variant, the rod is used here, which has a diameter of 1.2 centimeters, for the second version of the vehicle, a rod with a diameter of 1.3 centimeters is used. During the test, it became clear that the road clearance was even a bit more declared. In a place where the engine is protected, it amounted to 16 centimeters smoothly, and 19.8 centimeters, respectively.

Qualitatively accelerate on the roads where there is a riser snow, in both cases does not give ESP.

It is always very good when the planned result becomes less real. Thus, the Stepway car has a ground clearance, as many as 22.6 centimeters, and the back - 21 centimeter. Such indicators will allow the car quite easily overcome the most different road situations.

Now you should look at the indicators of fully loaded cars. Of course, in this case, cars were very strongly asked what was actually no wonder. It is for this reason that the road clearance under the engine decreased by 2.3 centimeters, now it amounted to 17.5 centimeters. Regarding the simple version of Sandero, he at the same point managed to suit the whole 2.5 centimeters and the figure was equal to 13.5 centimeters. This will be disastrously lacking for riding on domestic roads. Regarding 17.5 centimeters, it will be quite enough to drive almost on any road. Not every car with a full drive can show such a worthy level.

With regard to the movement of the suspension, in this case, there are practically no differences. Also, the angles of the geometric passability of cars also received very minor changes. Exactly the same changes received gear ratios in gearboxes. Why, there are so insignificant nuances, here and the gearbox themselves are practically no different. Nevertheless, there is one fairly significant difference, there are various car control drives. Regarding the Sandero car, then here is the control of the burden, and in the second version of the cable. Despite this, there are no significant changes on the quality of the ride. Each of the available transmissions, works well enough and easily. With regard to the dynamics of overclocking cars, it is simply impossible to understand what car in this case is better.

If we talk about car STEPWAY, then this option is really worth calling a crossover. How will it all be used on the roads?

The front seats of cars are seriously different from the material of the trim, moreover, the crossover, there is an appropriate name stepway on the chairs.

Still there is quite a big field

In order to spend more interesting comparisons, snow-covered fields were selected. Thanks to a significant thaw, a small ice crust appeared on the field. With regard to the height of this snow cover, then it is exactly 15 to 30 centimeters.

If we talk about a standard car, then it is able to confidently go through the snow depth of 18 to 20 centimeters, and the second car is able to pass in places where snow cover is 22-24 centimeters. Regarding the front type of the bumper of the car Sandero, he is just incredibly fragile. For these reasons, even if you hurt the gladux cover a little, you can significantly damage the car. No doubt, in this case, the case is connected with enough high temperatures Air, which on the day of testing reached 2 degrees of heat, as well as with fragile plastic. Speaking more apart, on this car, it is best to drive carefully on the glaced roads.

Sandero Stepway Salon 2

If speak about dashboard, there are practically no changes here. However, on the STEPWAY version, there is a much more decorated Speedometer scale.

Regarding the STEPWAY car, then it looks really, as a great, high-quality crossover. In this case, a much higher-quality bumper is installed, which can be used much safer on the glacedenal road. Ultimately, there are really much more reliable permeability.

However, there are not only pluses, but also in cars. For example: the car is very easy and simply follows in the snow, then you need to rise to a small slide, during the raising the engine significantly loses momentum, and the machine is its move. This is due precisely due to the operation of ESP, and it is almost impossible to correct the situation in this case. Of course, electronic capabilities are created, especially for the safety of the driver and passengers. However, for crossovers, the stabilization system on the road went exclusively to harm. Thanks to this system itself, there is no possibility to go around rough terrain with slipping. It would be nice if it would be possible to turn off the stabilization system, it would significantly simplify the movement in complex areas of the road.

What happened ultimately

As a result, cars turned out to be quite interesting, high-quality and unusual. However, two of these options, there are several significant drawbacks, which at first glance seem to be advantages. First of all, ESP is a system that does not allow slipping to climb on elevation, or overcome a complex area of \u200b\u200bthe road. Another disadvantage, but, already at the Sandero version, is not the highest road clearance. This lumen will not be enough to ride over rough terrain. The second car for this indicator is much more effective. The first and second versions of cars are really capable of please every person with their high-quality features.

Classic "Niva" and UAZ are gradually losing popularity - the country's road infrastructure develops, and fuel gradually becomes more expensive, which makes people consider other cars. However, refuse to the status of the owner of the SUV, albeit budget, not so simple. Knowing this, many companies produce relatively economical and easy crossovers that are stylized under cars increased passibility. If we talk about the budget class, then Hatchback is most popular here. Renault Sandero. StepWay with a special package of options that increase its permeability. To understand what option to choose, it is necessary to carefully compare Renault Sandero Stepway and Renault Duster.

SUVs?

Both vehicles involved in comparison have an advanced transmission, equipped with similar 1.6-liter engines, as well as five-speed transmissions. However, if desired, buyers can order Renault Duster. In the all-wheel drive, whereas for Sandero Stepway. Such a modification is not available. But hope for some off-road abilities remains if you take into account the clearance of 210 mm at Duster and 175 mm at Renault Sandero Stepway.

And practical tests show that the front-wheel drive Renault Duster is practically not inferior to all-wheel drive in the possibilities! The five-speed transmission has shortened transmissions, and the motor is well pulling from the smallest revolutions, so the overcoming of steep slopes will not become an impracticable task for Duster. Large clearance allows Renault Duster to move confidently on primers and even forest buses, as well as move through large stones. But still the absence full drive It makes itself felt - the Renault crossover begins to buzzhing helplessly, a slippery coating appears on a steep lift. Go to smart roads In the rain, it is also not worth it - if small areas of viscous soil succeeds to overcome due to excellent settings of the motor and transmission DUSTER, then the crossover is stuck in the first deep pit.

Hatchback, who has never had a relationship to the class of crossovers, chances to cope with off-road even less. The Renault Sandero Stepway enlarged compared to the standard Logan family of Logan allows you to forget about the bottoms of the bottom in the rods and on the primer, but it does not help to overcome serious obstacles. It is worth saying that when trying to ride on the forest crossing or stony plain can part with a low hanging under rear bumper silencer. In addition, the transmission settings are rather focused on measured riding on the highway than to conquer steep slopes.

In the town

If you choose steps or duster for frequent ride in the city, then Hatchback Renault will be much more preferable. Smaller dimensions allow it to be placed on small parking places in front office Center Or a supermarket, and more "long" transmissions make it possible to switch less often when moving in a dense stream. The advantage of Renault Sandero Stepway can be called a moderately hard suspension, which does not allow strong rolls, but does not upset the driver with serious breakdowns when moving along major irregularities. The minus of the Sandero Stepway chassis is only the absence of due noise insulation, as a result of which the passage of each crack in the asphalt or bumps is accompanied by an unpleasant ringing.

You can not call the champion in the roomy of Renault Sandero - only two people will fit back, and they will complain about the lack of place for the legs. However, there is no complaints to the ceiling height - the body of the entire family is distinguished by a good margin of space over the heads of people. The front seats are planted a bit low and have a non-optimal backrest profile, but in short daily trips owner Renault. Sandero Stepway will not feel any inconvenience. The car does not put records and on the volume of the trunk - he was small even from the usual Renault Sandero, and the "off-road" version of Stepway decreased to 320 liters due to the use of a full-sized spare wheel. However, a wide range makes it easier for loading of large-sized objects, so the resulting rear seats A 1.2 cubic meter truck Sandero Stepway owner will be able to use without difficulty.

Among the shortcomings of the Renault Duster chassis, you can call an excessive softness, which causes a large car to roll in turns and "pending the nose" with sharp braking. However, all this can be forgiven the crossover for the complete absence of blows and swing when passing irregularities. Duster owners are always proud of saying that they do not even slow down in areas with a bad coating, where others slow down the cars, trying to avoid damage to the suspension. But here "off-road" settings power aggregate and transmissions in the city. Due to shortened gears, Renault Duster driver is forced to constantly listen to the sound of the engine running on high speeds.

The front armchairs DUSTER are good, but the impression spoils a similar direct back, which does not allow to relax the muscles of the back in the far road. In addition, you need to say about some other ergonomic miscalculations in Renault crossover:

• The front panel eventually begins to produce sufficiently strong symptoms;
• Gaza pedal is located close to the central tunnel;
• The touch screen is available on expensive, with a ray of light when it gets.

There are more spaces in the back than in Sandero - here there are three people without any inconvenience even in winter clothes. If you choose a Renault Duster or Renault Sandero Stepway by the volume of the trunk, then the crossover will definitely remain the leader. Renault Duster Capacity of the freight compartment even at raised rear seats is approaching 500 liters, and with a complete transformation of the cabin equal to 1.65 cubic meters.

Different tempers

Despite the Renault marketers assigned to him, Hatchback Sandero Stepway is intended exclusively for moving within the roads. Of course, an enlarged clearance allows him to go without any interference on the sighting roads and broken streets of urban downtown, but the reinforcement of Renault Sandero will not last one hundred meters. Another thing is Renault Duster, which was originally developed as a car of increased passability and lost rear drive exclusively for cheaper. Renault crossover can travel beyond the limits of asphalt roads and with honor to withstand many tests, one's time for fishing or just on a picnic in those places where ordinary cars will not get. However, it is worth remembering that the possibilities of Duster are limited, and it may well be stuck in the mud or simply on slippery coating.

Evaluating cars in appearance, no doubt arises for a second - "Vazovsky" Hatchback turned out to be uniquely solid and more beautiful. From all sides, it looks worthily and modernly, which cannot be said about Kurguz and even somewhere "rustic" appearance of StepWay. "Lada" highlight LED running lights And in fashionable concave side panels.

However, it is not everyone likes to send to everyone, although, to admit, on the background of "Roshny" they look if not better, it is clearly more interesting. But the pseudo-protective plastic body kit and wheel arch expansion, like the Togliatti car from an aesthetic point of view, will not be clearly not damaged - the windows line could have a visually to shift down, and ambiguous "sidewalls" would no longer choose the eyes of the eyes no longer cashed.

For "Isxual" face, which, culturally borrowing from Lexus and other Honda, Steve Mattin glued "Ixray", the vazovs should say thank you - the inexpressive face "Steward" definitely needs a plastic surgery. As, in general, and its fillet part, by no means causing excitement.

The feed of "Volzhanina" with small and handed up the top lamps, of course, of course, not a work of art, but in any case, you won't call it frankly primitive. At least, in contrast to Sandero, the girls seek a look, and I did not notice the sympathy for the driver on their physiognomies. Our "Like" domestic auto giant.

Ergonomics Salon

It is difficult not to note that when you open the doors to the cabin, the snow fell from the roof of the snow - in Xray you sit down, pre-smeared the snowflakes from the chair. And all because the doors of "Lada" clearly enter the openings, in the "Renault" they dock straight to the roof.

In general, the relationship in the interior of both cars is obvious. However, here "Ixray" is clearly in - not least due to larger shooter shooters on the instrument panel and the location of all four windows keys on the driver's door. While the Sandero has two place in this place. The rear window control buttons are located on the central console - in attempts to get into them with your finger have to be distracted from the road.

In addition, Togliattians did not pose to supply the steering wheel of their "horse" by the controls of the audio system - "French" proposes to tune the "music" with an uncomfortable steering wheel lever. Multimedia for the budget segment machines in both cases is worthy: everything is simple and intuitive. Even in a strong frost, the display does not slow down and will not fail. Only here the phone is the "Ixray"'s head unit every time.

Headlight corrector handle in Renault is located to the left of the Baranki at the bottom of the dashboard, and to get to it you will need an acrobat skills, and then the sessions of the manual therapist, which will help you to put the fold neck. The LADA driver with the like will not collide.

But the applause deserves the steering wheel itself of French hatchback: it seems more voluminous and much more pleasant in tactile sensations.

With the landing, then get comfortable and in that, and in another car, it will not be difficult. Only headrest in, rather element of the decor, rather than security, for it is too far from the nape.

Seat heating buttons in both machines would be nice to transfer to the central console. Not only are the keys placed in a niche between the door and the seat, periodically turn on the foot when leaving the car, so also to grope them while driving, not distracted by the road, is quite difficult. I'm not talking about the fact that the representatives of the beautiful half in trying to warm the fifth point can break the nails.

Claims for the review causes only "Sandero", whose side mirrors and glass of the front doors are instantly stuffed with mud - Togliatti pseudocrossover receives a test. Including because opening luggage compartment, the driver does not stain his hands, as it happens in the case of. Yes, and the cargo compartment itself "Ixreya" is accommodative with a spacious "renicted" - 361 l against 320 liters.

Riding habits

While the 122-strong LADA motor is "married" with a five-speed "mechanics", he did not call positive emotions. With frankly stupid and dongy one-piece "robot", the car absolutely did not want to go. Alliluya - more xray do not call vegetable. True, the switching of the gearbox does not have such clear and elastic, like the "five-way", differing among other things longer strokes.

It must be said that "French" with its 113 forces under the hood either do not miss - thrust enough in almost the entire range of revolutions. A smaller number of "horses" is expected to have a flow rate - in the mixed cycle "Sandero" consumes no more than 9.7 liters per hundred, while "Ixray" misses all 13.

Both cars confidently cling to the road, not forcing the driver to wash it cold later when passing sharp turns. "Togliatti", perhaps, only a little softer digests the irregularities of the roadway - it probably affects the installation of other shock absorbers and springs. To brakes - no complaints.

At first glance, it may seem that these two models - Renault Sandero and Renault Sandero Stepway are very similar and practically no difference. And yet, if you look attentively, you can see a significant difference. So what is the difference between these cars? The question is quite relevant.

Definition

The Sandero car belongs to "in" class, the model has a hatchback body. Let it be a car and created on the Logan platform, a lot of differences remained. Sandero is distinguished by the expressiveness of the silhouette with the smoothness of falling lines and the sympathetic optics. This is a pretty practical car that is ideal for a large family.

The STEPWAY car in all its parameters is associated with a recognizable stylish crossover. In essence, this model is considered an off-road model Sandero. That's just stepway got an additional body kit and enlarged road clearance. Therefore, this variation is called the best for the city's roads, the car is easily passing along the icing snow-covered streets.

Comparison

Sandero Stepway car even visually looks different in comparison with Sandero. Here Sandero is like more on a beautiful family hatchback, but the Stepway model looks more like a dynamic maneuverable crossover for young people. The first thing that rushes in the eye is the front mudguards, for example, the stepway car plastic mudguards are much less than Sandero, and they are completely different.

In the clearance, too, there are differences in cars and this, by the way, is much noticeable. StepWay is greater than 20 mm. Such an indicator achieved with the addition of the floor of the spring with the introduction of modifications into the mounting zone of the rack. Even in detail there are differences, just not too significant.

By the way, the development of a logo for automotive production was produced by a professional web studio, the logo is considered an important part to create an image of each company.

On the STEPWAY model on the levers of the longitudinal type, a suspension was used, which was bonded with the beam and fixed on the body. Also added a stability stabilizer for depreciation racks and a spring. Another new thing in StepWay is considered to have ABS Concept Bosch 8. In addition, there is both EBD brake voltage distributor, and besides this EBA Detor Maintenance. All this above is at all at Sandero.

Ownership reviews

All in order:

1. After a year and a half, the paint was swept on the rear thresholds, they began to rust, the front passenger was also, they did everything under warranty.

2. Circuit-sticker on the verge of the driver drank, change the price itself 1,400 rubles per sticker, plus work.

3. The front seats are very short, the legs and rings begin to hurt with a long road (maximum 800 km and then writing).

4. When running 8,000 km, the ball was covered, changed under warranty along with the collapse of the alert (unpleasant, as well as the LCP on the thresholds).

5. The armrest is an expensive option, without him the hand gets tired, and not very much. This is not an armrest, but the inexpensive of some kind.

6. Motor practically does not pull, you need to take more powerful, but not with a machine gun, it is a 4-mortar, turnover after 120 km / h proceitable, and gasoline eats over.

7. After a year (25,000 km), creak appeared driver's chair (As Diller Summer WD said, there is a gum of mud clogs).

8. The base is very short so the car simply jumps on the irregularities as saigak, especially "happy" rear passengers.

9. Little trunk.

10. The robot is buggy, hangs between transmissions on the lines (usually between 3-4, 4-5) and such noise is that horror. It happens rarely, but it happens. On the service hands are divorced and do not know what to do.

Video Feedback

Bought our "bitch" in September 2015. At the time of writing, the review passed on it (for almost two years) 39 000km. The first year was "routing", and the fuel consumption was higher than now (9-10 liters per 100 km versus 7-8 l), and the engine seemed more noisy.

After a run of 20,000 km, the machine has become more harsh than when purchasing (I read somewhere that there are so many steps). Very quickly used to cruise control (I now use it even in the city), it is also convenient for the subwoofer joystick of music management (I do not know why many swear it).

That in the car liked it is relative high passability Even on regular tires Continental (stuck only on a clay after the rain - lied and wounded the clay and scored a fever), and I love to ride everywhere - cottage, river, forest ...

It often saved the fact that the native steel protection of the engine, the muffler "hidden" in the bottom of the bottom. It understood this when the cars from the pit looked at the "belly" - everything is beautiful, but the "lip" of the bumper (protective beam, but from plastic) a little bit the kits.

Immediately drew attention to the complete absence of heat / soundproofing cars - in winter after stopping the engine, the cabin cooles pretty quickly, when driving that in the winter, that summer tires very well audible rustling of stones and sand wheel Ark and tsocot spits.

The disgusting quality of carpets on the floor of the cabin and in the trunk - after each cleaning, a vacuum cleaner on the brush remains quite a lot of pile.

Separately, I want to say about the quality wheel disks - They are frankly soft - bent from getting into good pit and also easily right with a sledgehammer (observations on several similar machines).

It is also not necessary to exploit the car without covers - the quality of a beautiful upholstery leaves much to be desired. The same problem touched the braid of the steering wheel - everything is beautiful, nice, but ... after 35,000 km it became visible in the steering wheel, and the skin began to crawl.

Where can one buy?

I took the car in August, I managed to leave autumn, winter off-road. What can I say, for my money a reliable machine from 20.5 cm under the belly (never anywhere else on the borders, borders, jamas, etc.), an inhemistry of an economical Nissanovsky engine (compared to the 86-strong turtle, which was I have in my first model). On the highway it is possible to pick up, in the mountain or on overtaking, it is enough.

How qualitatively make iron in Samara compared to tinnitus bodies that were taken from Romania for the first Sandero - to be judged while early, time will tell.

About the salon: good plastic, does not scratch, high-quality seat upholstery material. Body strong.

Patency: rushing on dirt and snow as a small tank (climbed into loose rustic snow, and in the forest with deep puddles along the most thresholds after the rain), but the full drive is missing.

Speed: After the speed megan, of course, the month is accustomed, cruising - 120 km (it will still be easily, but decided on the first thousands of not raping the engine). Machine short, almost like Niva, so with speed \u200b\u200bregime I advise car enthusiasts carefully.

The maximum speed lacks the heating of the rear seats, the stove for cold winters is weak. Small baggage, which is compensated by the installation of the upper trunk-torpedo on the roof (Pihai - I do not want).
For trunk B. basic equipment There is not enough grids (compensate for the campaign to Ali SPress). Shumka average.

Review of Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 (113 hp) with 2016 mechanics

The car is interesting, but niche. Her strengths - Huge clearance, very muscular suspension, cross-board appearance With utility rails, as well as not too biting price with rich equipment.

The machine is clearly not for dumplings (due to the size of the cabin and the inability to go monolithically in a straight line at high speed), but an excellent option for dacha pickles and settlements With very bad asphalt or generally dirt roads.

The main minuses of the stewed are poor noise insulation and a huge fuel consumption for such a machine - under 15 liters in the city. True, it is in winter and taking into account the warm-up. With positive temperatures, a typical city consumption in Moscow - 12-13 liters per hundred, but it is a lot.
