The body of Sandero is ideal for a city car, which has all the capabilities necessary for the rapid modern pace of life in a metropolis - it is as functional and completely ergonomic as possible. Renault Sandero is a compact, economical hatchback that fits perfectly into the realities of urban traffic. The body of Sandero makes it easy to maneuver even on narrow streets and always find a parking space without any problems.

Body colors Sandero

Body color is an important characteristic when choosing a car. The juicy and “tasty” color attracts the attention of the buyer, which naturally increases sales. Therefore, technologists and engineers of automobile concerns strive to offer their potential consumers the maximum variety in the choice of body color for each car model. Renault Sandero's car is no exception - it is available in several colors, which greatly expands the choice.

Renault Sandero Stepway: body colors 2016

It would be right to start the conversation about the body color of Renault Sandero with cars produced in the not so distant past - namely, with cars that rolled off the assembly line in 2015 and 2016.

This is the so-called second generation Sandero, which, judging by the manufacturers' reviews, received higher passenger safety characteristics, increased ground clearance, and also underwent some design changes.

As for the colors of the new body, 6 color options are available for the Russian consumer:

• black pearl (black);
• golden green onyx;
• platinum gray (gray);
• azure (blue);
• light basalt;
• Red.

Sandero's car also has options in a white and orange body, but these colors are not yet available in our country. But you can choose the coating of the car body - gloss or metallic.

The body color of the second generation Renault Sandero Stepway 2015 has become juicier, brighter and more modern. By the way, it is often mistakenly called the 3rd configuration Sandero body, although in fact it remains the same 2nd generation.

Renault Sandero: old body 2011-2014

Despite the fact that the second generation of the hatchback has already been released, the technical characteristics of Renault Sandero in the old body fully meet the requirements of the present. Feedback from the owners says that with proper service and timely repair, the Renault Sandero car will last a long time without causing any complaints.

As for the colors of the old Sandero body in 2014, some of them coincide with the colors of the new body (light basalt). Among the body colors of Sandero 1 are:

• white ice;
• light basalt;
• blue mineral;
• black Pearl;
• gray platinum;
• red bullfighter.

Galvanized body

Many car owners are interested in the question - is the Renault Sandero Stepway body galvanized or not?

According to the official representative of Renault, both the first and second generation Sandero have a partial galvanized body. The Sandero body is of the zinc metal type.

In the process of rolling the steel of the body elements, zinc particles are applied to it. Also, during the production process, a layer of oxides with a content of zinc particles is deposited. According to the calculations of specialists, corrosion will begin no earlier than 9 years after the release of the car, that is, for 2014 cars only in 2023, and for the new generation of Sandero in 2016, in 2025. Given the relatively low cost of Renault Sandero (or Dacia Sandero), this figure is very impressive.

Renault Sandero: body dimensions

The compact and perfectly calibrated dimensions of Renault Sandero make the car not only comfortable, but also make it easy to maneuver on city roads. Smooth body shapes Sandero provide the car with excellent aerodynamic properties. The body, which is comfortable and maximally convenient from the inside from the outside, is compact enough to find places in city parking lots even in conditions of heavy traffic. The body length of Renault Sandero is just over 4 meters.

Sandero body - technical characteristics:

• Body length 4.05 m.
• Body width 1.73 m.
• Body height 1.51 m.
• Weight 993 kg (basic configuration).
• Wheelbase 2.63 m.
• Clearance (ground clearance) 164 mm.
• Several color options.

Body type Renault Sandero

The Renault Sandero car, popular in our country, belongs to the city hatchbacks by body type. The urban hatchback is notable for its subcompactness, but at the same time it still has enough room. Such a body is also called a pre-crossover.

Where is Renault Sandero assembled in a new body?

Renault Sandero in a new body, intended for the Russian market, is assembled in Moscow at the Renault Russia plant. Foreign models are assembled in several countries, the main production is in Romania. It is widely believed among consumers that a foreign-assembled car is of a higher quality, while many flaws can be found in the "Russian" versions of Sandero.

Given the existing demand, all Sandero models imported from abroad will not be enough for everyone. At the same time, it is also worth considering the rather large duties for the import of cars of foreign assembly. Therefore, consumers have no options, and they have to buy Sandero "made in Russia".

For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that cars assembled in Russia undergo the strictest quality control, and the output is almost perfect cars, which is recognized even by foreign engineers. Russian versions of Sandero are adapted for Russian operating conditions and have shown themselves excellently for more than a year.

By the way, Sanderos assembled in Russia are sent not only to domestic dealers, but also to dealers in the CIS countries.

Sandero body - advantages

• Stylish design
• Compact dimensions
• Spaciousness
• Maximum comfort
• Adaptation to Russian realities

The body of Sandero gives the car a respectable appearance, which puts it on a par with cars of a more expensive category. The smooth lines of the body of Sandero fit perfectly into the urban landscape, causing admiration. With a similar design, the car will definitely not get lost on city roads.

Body capacity Sandero

The well-thought-out shape and height of the Sandero body make it possible to comfortably accommodate passengers in the car, to transport large items and even partially disassembled furniture. It is also possible to install an additional trunk on the roof of the Sandero body, which makes the car even more functional and comfortable.

Sandero body - adaptation to Russian roads

Renault Sandero's car is completely thought out and adapted for the harsh Russian weather conditions, as well as for the equally harsh Russian roads. The body of Sandero inherited the quality from its predecessor, it combines high technology, reliability and comfort.

Renault Sandero has everything to make the driver feel as comfortable and confident as possible while driving. This is largely due to the new Sandero body, which combines excellent design, impressive roominess, convenient compact dimensions and consistent reliability. The body of Sandero is distinguished by smooth curved lines, in front of it on the radiator grill there is a large Renault logo.

Sandero's cost

Renault Sandero in the old body is no longer produced, but it can still be found at dealerships or in the secondary car market. The price of Renault Sandero Stepway in an old body from dealers is 380 thousand rubles. (in the minimum configuration).

The minimum price for the new Sandero body is 485 thousand rubles.

Part numbers for Renault Sandero body parts

Parts numbers are important information - they can be used to purchase the auto parts necessary for car repairs. But finding the part number of the part you need is not always easy. For example, many are interested in where to find the body number of Renault Sandero Stepway, where it is located. Here is a list of catalog numbers of spare parts for the body of Renault Sandero 2.

Part numbers of body parts Renault Sandero Stepway 2

Renault Sandero is a compact budget class car, produced since 2007, produced in a five-door hatchback body. This car is inexpensive, and also does not cost the budget and vehicle maintenance. Outwardly, "Sandero" resembles Renault Logan, but the hatchback design is more attractive.

For the first time, the French model was presented in Brazil, and a little later it was shown at the Geneva Motor Show. In Romania, Sandero is known under the Dacia brand, in 2009 the car began to be sold in Belarus and Ukraine.

At the end of 2009, the assembly of the hatchback began to be carried out at the Moscow automobile plant "Renault Russia", the car built on the Nissan B platform... There is also a version of the Renault Sandero Stepway, which differs from the standard model in increased ground clearance (by 20 mm), more impressive wheel arches and roof rails.

Many of the parts installed on the Sandero are borrowed from the Logan, so typical characteristic diseases the hatchback took over from its prototype. In 2012, an updated version of the Sandero Stepway was presented to the world, and the second generation Sandero debuted at the Paris Motor Show.

Body and paintwork

On Renault Sandero, the body is galvanized, the body iron itself is strong enough. These cars rarely rust, mainly corrosion occurs if the car has been in an accident. The paintwork of the body is not bad, chips first of all appear on the wheel arches, in the area of ​​the sills.

What are the disadvantages of engines

There are no powerful engines in the Sandero powertrain lineup, and you can't count on sportiness here. The most popular is the 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 72 or 75 horsepower (8 valves).

Also, an internal combustion engine of 1.6 liters is installed on the car in two modifications:

16-valve - 84 HP With.;

8-valve - 106 HP With.

The 1.4-liter engine is somewhat weak, its thrust is not enough for a relatively heavy car. Often this motor works at its limit, and from load power unit resource decreases markedly. The 1.6-liter 8-valve internal combustion engine is also not very powerful, but it is enough for city trips. With a 16-valve engine, the Sandero has enough dynamics, but the car consumes noticeably more fuel.

Timing belt on 16-cl. It is recommended to change the internal combustion engine of the K4M model every 60 thousand kilometers; it is better to replace the parts of the gas distribution mechanism with a set (belt, water pump, tension rollers).

The model range of Renault Sandero engines also includes a 1.5 DCI diesel engine, depending on the modification, its power ranges from 80 to 90 hp. With. The diesel power unit K9K is distinguished by high efficiency and good traction, but in Russia, cars "Sandero" with diesel engines are rare.

The gasoline engines installed on the Sandero are quite reliable, but they still have some problems. One of the characteristic "diseases"- jamming of the thermostat, with such a defect, the motor may overheat or, conversely, operate in a low temperature mode. Not too long "live" candles and high voltage wires, they often punch to the ground from dampness.

Sandero gasoline engines have a very good resource, with proper care and careful operation serve 500 thousand km each and more before overhaul.

Weaknesses in transmission units

Only two types of transmission are installed on the hatchback:

5-speed manual transmission;

4-speed automatic transmission.

Automatic transmission is paired with a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine, "mechanics" is installed together with an 8-valve engine.

Mechanical box quite noisy, but at the same time no defects are detected in it - the gears are switched smoothly, without jerks, the speeds do not fly out. Even at engine speeds of three thousand or more, vibration appears on the body, it comes from the manual transmission.

The manufacturer does not provide for an oil change in the "mechanics", the lubricant should be enough for the entire service life of the gearbox. But if the transmission already covered 100 thousand km, it is better to replace the oil in the unit, it will not be worse from this.

Four-speed "automatic machines" are not famous for their special reliability, automatic transmissions are mainly fail due to overheating... The automatic transmission often requires repairs on a mileage of about one hundred thousand kilometers; the oil in an automatic transmission should be changed after 50 thousand kilometers.

Suspension and suspension sores

The rear suspension on the Sandero is of a beam type, the front is a standard MacPherson strut. The design of the car's undercarriage is quite simple, so the suspension elements fail as a whole infrequently. Spare parts for the car are relatively inexpensive, repairing the chassis is not very difficult.

First on Renault Sandero Bushings and stabilizer struts "give up", they serve on average 50-60 thousand km. Rear and front shock absorbers are sensitive to the quality of the road surface, they begin to leak quickly if the car is often used on a bad road. But in any case, the resource of these parts is at least forty thousand kilometers, the original shock absorbers last longer (70-80 thousand km each).

Steering rack not too "tenacious", first of all the plastic sleeve wears out. The manufacturer did not provide repair kits for the rail, but the parts can be supplied from another car model, for example, from BMW. Before you repair the steering mechanism, you should check the backlash in the tips and rods, the resource of which is 60-70 thousand km.

Life time front brake pads are standard - an average of about 30-40 thousand km. If the front caliper rails are lubricated, the pads can last longer, and the life of the parts also largely depends on the driving style.

Vehicle interior

The interior of Renault Sandero is nothing special - the interior looks gray and somewhat dull. But there is enough space inside the car, but the trunk of the car is too small (320 liters), although if you fold out the rear seats, it becomes quite roomy (1200 liters). The plastic interior is not very high quality, but "Sandero" still belongs to the budget class, and therefore you should not expect the best from the interior trim.

Galvanized body Renault Sandero

A varied and harsh climate with serious requirements for anti-corrosion treatment of their vehicles. Sudden changes in temperature, high air humidity, salt, anti-icing agents can eat a car body in a few years. For this reason, in order to take a solid place in the Russian market, the designers of the Renault Logan car had to thoroughly smash their heads. But first things first.

Renault Logan I generation

Renault Logan began its journey on Russian roads in 2005, when a completely new model was uncertainly occupying the automotive market, gaining the trust of potential buyers. In the first year of serial production of cars, problem areas appeared on a certain percentage of cars in the form of spots and traces of corrosion on various parts of the body.

Problem places

These turned out to be: wheel arches, trunk opening, windshield frame and parts of the roof under the door seals. And among other things, cracks were found on the paintwork in the area of ​​the joints of the rear pillars and the roof of the car. As they say, the first pancake turned out to be lumpy. However, due to the fact that the release of the new model was widely announced by the media, and caused a great stir, such problems in Renault Logan were overgrown not only with many myths and rumors, but were sometimes even exaggerated.

One of the most problematic areas of old Logan is the doors

Pots of corrosion appeared on cars produced mainly in the period from 2005 to 2006. Formally speaking, such violations in the paintwork (paintwork) did not require any warranty service, because they manifested themselves after its completion.

Often the doorway begins to rust

However, the fact remains, and the real problem has been identified. Then the Renault concern took unprecedented measures to extend the warranty for the paintwork, and in order not to lose the confidence of buyers, it recognized all the facts of the appearance of corrosion as a warranty case.

Car bottom

The underbody of the car practically does not suffer from rust. The clearance allows less clinging to bumps in the road and scratching the bottom from bumps.

The decision to fully galvanize the body

The concern claims that the Renault Logan body is galvanized during production, but many Renault Logan owners do not trust this information

In order not to experience problems with the produced cars in the future, it was decided to galvanize almost all external parts.

In addition, for the purpose of additional protection of the body, the technology of "sacrificial anodes" was applied, which were installed mainly in the door hinges in the form of inserts and corroded instead of iron. The warranty for anti-corrosion protection of the car is within 15 years, which is a sufficient period even for cars of a more expensive price segment.

A piece of paint flew off the wing, a galvanized body is visible, but rust still began to appear

The result from the work done by the Renault concern was not long in coming. Rumors about a new budgetary and inexpensive car, with a galvanized body, quickly spread among the people and rightfully lost claims about the quality of coverage on "Logans". Few modern car manufacturers can boast of such a result in the field of service and understanding of their customers' problems.

7 layers of galvanized

Most owners agree that the Renault Logan body is well galvanized and practically not subject to corrosion.

When designing a radically changed appearance, the 2nd generation Renault Logan car, the designers looked differently at the anti-corrosion treatment of the body.

From 2013 to the present, on Renault conveyors, Logan models are subjected to full body treatment, including hidden cavities by double-sided galvanized galvanizing (perfectly combined with paint and soil) using the method of immersion in zinc electrolyte under the influence of current.

Rust on Logan who is less than a year old (under the front right door - under the trim)

With this treatment, the zinc layer is about 9-15 microns. Thus, under normal operating conditions, the first traces of corrosion may appear no earlier than after 10 years of using the car.

Only numbers!

• 5-15 microns (micrometers) is the ideal zinc coating thickness to protect against corrosion on a vehicle.
• From 1 to 6 microns - this is the rate of destruction of the zinc layer per year, if the paintwork is damaged. Destruction occurs more actively at positive temperatures.

Summing up

Summarizing all of the above, you can be sure that most P cars Eno Logan on our roads have a galvanized body with a high degree of corrosion protection... Having such a car, you can be prepared for all the troubles of the Russian climate and operating conditions.
