What is better to choose Renault Duster or Renault Sandero Stepway? Renault Sandero and Stepway: comparison and what is better to choose Renault Sandero stepway differences from the old

The classic Niva and UAZ are gradually losing popularity - the country's road infrastructure is developing, and fuel is gradually becoming more expensive, which makes people consider other cars. However, it is not so easy to refuse the status of the owner of an SUV, albeit a budget one. Knowing this, many companies produce relatively economical and easy-to-drive crossovers that are stylized as off-road vehicles. If we talk about the budget class, then the hatchback is the most popular here. Renault Sandero Stepway with a special package of options that increase its cross-country ability. To understand which option to choose, it is worth carefully comparing Renault Sandero Stepway and Renault Duster.

SUVs?

Both cars participating in the comparison have a front-wheel drive transmission, are 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 version, while for Sandero Stepway this modification is not available. But hope for some off-road capability remains, given the Duster's 210mm clearance and the Renault Sandero Stepway's 175mm.

And practical tests show that the front-wheel drive Renault Duster is practically not inferior to the all-wheel drive in terms of capabilities! The five-speed transmission has short gears, and the engine pulls well even from the lowest revs, so overcoming steep slopes will not be an impossible task for the Duster. high ground clearance allows Renault Duster to move confidently on dirt roads and even forest clearings, as well as to move over large stones. But still, the lack of all-wheel drive makes itself felt - the Renault crossover begins to slip helplessly, as soon as a slippery surface appears on a steep climb. Going on dirt roads in the rain is also not worth it - if small areas of viscous soil can be overcome due to the excellent engine and transmission settings of the Duster, then the crossover will get stuck in the first deep hole.

The hatchback, which has never been related to the crossover class, has even less chance to cope with off-road. The increased ground clearance of the Renault Sandero Stepway compared to the standard Logan family allows you to forget about bottom impacts in ruts and on the primer, but it does not help to overcome serious obstacles at all. It is worth saying that when trying to drive along a forest clearing or a rocky plain, it can part with a low hanging under rear bumper silencer. In addition, the transmission settings are more focused on measured driving on the track than on the conquest of steep slopes.

In the city

If you choose a Stepway or Duster for frequent city driving, then a Renault hatchback will be much more preferable. Smaller dimensions allow it to fit in small parking spaces in front of an office center or supermarket, while longer gears make it possible to shift less often when driving in heavy traffic. The advantage of the Renault Sandero Stepway can also be called a moderately stiff suspension, which does not allow strong rolls, but also does not upset the driver with serious breakdowns when driving over large bumps. The downside of the Sandero Stepway chassis is only the lack of proper sound insulation, as a result of which the passage of each crack in the asphalt or bump is accompanied by an unpleasant ringing.

Renault Sandero cannot be called a champion in terms of spaciousness - only two people will fit in the back, and even those will complain about the lack of legroom. However, there are no complaints about the height of the ceiling - the bodies of the entire family are distinguished by a good supply of space above people's heads. The front seats sit a little low and have a sub-optimal back profile, but on short everyday trips Renault owner Sandero Stepway will not feel any discomfort. The car does not set records in terms of trunk volume either - it was small even for a regular Renault Sandero, and for the “off-road” version of the Stepway it decreased to 320 liters due to the use of a full-size spare wheel. However, the wide opening makes it easier to load bulky items, so the 1.2 cubic meter cargo space created by folding the rear seats can be used by the owner of the Sandero Stepway without difficulty.

Among the shortcomings of the chassis of the Renault Duster can be called excessive softness, which makes big car roll in corners and “nod off” during sudden braking. However, all this can be forgiven to the crossover for the complete absence of bumps and buildup when passing through bumps. Duster owners are always proud to say that they don't even slow down on bad pavement where others slow down hard to avoid damage to the suspension. But here are the "off-road" settings power unit and transmission in the city is useless. Due to short gears, the Renault Duster driver is forced to constantly listen to the noise of the engine running at high speeds.

The Duster front seats are good, but the impression is spoiled by a similar straight back, which does not allow you to relax your back muscles on a long journey. In addition, it must be said about some other ergonomic miscalculations in the Renault crossover:

The front panel eventually begins to produce quite strong squeaks;
The gas pedal is located close to the central tunnel;
The touch screen, available in expensive ones, shines when it hits the rays of light.

There is more space in the back than in Sandero - three people can fit here without any inconvenience, even in winter clothes. If you choose Renault Duster or Renault Sandero Stepway in terms of trunk volume, then the crossover will definitely remain the leader. At Renault Duster, the capacity of the cargo compartment, even with the rear seats raised, approaches 500 liters, and with a complete transformation of the interior, it is 1.65 cubic meters.

Different tempers

Despite the Renault marketers assigned to it, the Sandero Stepway hatchback is intended exclusively for moving within the road. Of course, the increased ground clearance allows him to drive without any interference along country roads and broken streets of the city outskirts, but Renault Sandero will not last even a hundred meters on a wet primer. Another thing is Renault Duster, which was originally developed as a cross-country vehicle and lost rear wheel drive purely for cost reduction. The Renault crossover can go beyond asphalt roads and withstand many tests with honor, taking passengers on a fishing trip or just for a picnic to places where ordinary cars cannot reach. However, it is worth remembering that the capabilities of the Duster are limited, and it may well get stuck in the mud or just on a slippery surface.

Owner reviews

All in order:

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

2. The overlay-sticker on the driver's doorstep has peeled off, to change the issue price itself is 1,400 rubles per sticker, plus work.

3. The front seats are very short, on a long journey, legs and knees start to hurt (maximum 800 km and then it's gone).

4. With a run of 8,000 km, the ball was covered, changed under warranty along with wheel alignment (unpleasant, like the paintwork on the rapids).

5. The armrest is an expensive option, without it the arm gets tired, and not so much with it. This is not an armrest, but some kind of misunderstanding.

6. The motor practically does not pull, you need to take it more powerful, but not with a gun, it is a 4-mortar, the speed after 120 km / h is prohibitive, and gasoline eats hoo.

7. After a year (25,000 km), the driver's seat creaked (as the wd lubrication dealer said, the gum is clogged with mud there).

8. The base is very short, so the car just jumps on bumps like a saiga, the rear passengers are especially “happy”.

9. The trunk is small.

10. The robot is buggy, hangs between gears on the rises (usually between 3-4, 4-5) and there is such a noise that horror. It happens rarely, but it happens. At the service, they shrug their hands and do not know what to do.

Video review

We purchased our Bitch in September 2015. At the time of writing the review, we drove on it (for almost two years) 39,000 km. The first year there was a “break-in”, and fuel consumption was higher than now (9-10 liters per 100 km versus 7-8 liters now), and the engine seemed noisier.

After a run of 20,000 km, the machine became more playful than when buying (I read somewhere that this is the case on many Stepways). I got used to cruise control very quickly (I now use it even in the city), the steering column music control joystick is also convenient (I don’t know why many scold him).

What I liked about the car was the relatively high cross-country ability even on standard Continental tires (it got stuck only on clay after the rain - it licked and wound clay and clogged the fender liner), and I like to drive everywhere - a summer house, a river, a forest ...

It was often saved by the fact that the native steel protection of the internal combustion engine was installed, the muffler was “hidden” in the bottom niche. I realized this when I looked at the "belly" of the car from the pit - everything is beautiful, but the "lip" of the bumper (protective beam, but made of plastic) was a little poked.

I immediately drew attention to the complete lack of heat / sound insulation of the car - in winter, after the engine stops, the interior cools down quite quickly, when driving either in winter or on summer tires very well heard the rustle of stones and sand on the wheel arches and the clatter of spikes.

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

Separately, I want to say about the quality rims- they are frankly soft - they bend from falling into good holes and are also easily corrected with a sledgehammer (observations on several similar machines).

Also, do not operate the car without covers - the quality of the beautiful seat upholstery leaves much to be desired. The same problem also affected the steering wheel braid - everything is beautiful, pleasant, but ... after 35,000 km, scuffs on the steering wheel became visible, and the skin began to crawl out.

Dmitry Sitnikov, review of Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 (102 hp) mechanics 2015

Where could I buy?

Took the car in August, managed to leave the autumn, winter off-road. What can I say, for my money, a reliable machine with 20.5 cm under the belly (never met anywhere on bumps, curbs, pits, etc.), a torquey economical Nissan engine (compared to the turtle 86-horsepower that was I have in the first model). On the track, you can press down, uphill or overtaking is enough.

It is too early to judge how high quality the iron is made in Samara compared to the tinned bodies that were brought from Romania for the first Sanderos, time will tell.

About the interior: good plastic, not scratched, high-quality seat upholstery material. the body is strong.

Patency: rushing through the mud and snow like a small tank (climbed into loose rural snow, and into the forest with deep puddles right up to the rapids after the rain), but there is not enough all-wheel drive.

Speed: after a high-speed Megan, of course, I got used to it for a month, cruising - 120 km (it will still go easily, but I decided not to force the engine in the first thousand). The machine is short, almost like a field, so I advise motorists to be careful with the speed limit.

At maximum speed, there is not enough heating for the rear seats, the stove for cold winters is rather weak. A small luggage compartment, which is offset by the installation of an upper roof rack-torpedo (shove it - I don’t want to).
There are not enough nets for the trunk in the basic configurations (I compensate by going to aliexpress). Noise is average.

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

The car is interesting, but niche. Her strengths- a huge ground clearance, a very muscular suspension, a crossover appearance with useful roof rails, as well as a not too biting price with rich equipment.

The car is clearly not for long-distance travel (due to the size of the cabin and the inability to drive monolithically in a straight line at high speed), but an excellent option for country outings and settlements with very poor asphalt or even dirt roads.

The main disadvantages of the Stepway are poor sound insulation and huge fuel consumption for such a machine - under 15 liters in the city. True, this is in winter and taking into account warming up. At positive temperatures, a typical urban consumption in Moscow is 12-13 liters per hundred, but this is still a lot.

Ilya Sukhanov, review of Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 (102 hp) robot 2016

So, you have seriously approached the issue of choosing a car. The French brand Renault has been on the market for a long time and has established itself as a practical manufacturer. Cars are always distinguished by comfort, affordability and good technical characteristics. Today you will be able to determine which car is right for you: Renault Sandero or Stepway.

Distinctive features of Renault Sandero

The front-wheel drive hatchback will allow you to take 4 passengers with you. The machine was built on the basis Renault Logan, from which I adopted almost everything specifications.

The brand is equipped with 5 doors, including a luggage compartment. Depending on the class, the power of the car starts from 75 horsepower and reaches 113 . Fuel consumption has been set to 6 - 8.6 per 100 km. Accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. Most often found mechanical box gears. But at a slightly higher cost, it is possible to choose a model with an automatic transmission.

The silhouette of the car is distinguished by graceful and smooth lines, calm and discreet transitions between details. The interior decoration is presented with quality materials. The design is interesting and practical. Additionally, it is possible to install a climate control system, as well as multimedia equipment and a navigator, a glass heating complex. The car is suitable for city walks and long trips. A fairly roomy trunk is also an advantage of the car. The hatchback falls into the category of family cars for a comfortable city life.

The cost depends on the configuration of the car. The starting price of a new hatchback released in 2018 is approximately equal to 530 thousand rubles. Depending on improvements and additions, the cost may rise. up to 800 thousand rubles.

Distinctive features Renault Sandero Stepway

The front-wheel drive crossover is equipped with 5 doors and 4 passenger seats. Should name it upgraded version of Renault Sandero.

The car can be considered a crossover due to the increased ground clearance - 197 mm. The lightweight version of the SUV will allow you to feel equally comfortable in the bustle of the city, on snow-covered slopes, in desert expanses and under any obstacles. Depending on the class, the car's power starts from 82 horsepower and reaches 113. Fuel consumption is set at 5.7 - 8.9 per 100 km. Accelerates to 100 km / h in 11 seconds. Mostly manual transmission. When installed automatic box transmission cost of the machine increases slightly.

The luggage compartment, as in the analogue, is roomy and practical. The design of the car does not leave indifferent. All the same grace of Sandero and elegant fastening lines. The interior of the car is made of quality materials. If desired, it is possible to add a climate and cruise control system, as well as multimedia equipment and a navigator.

The SUV is equipped with a glass heating system, which is a definite plus for Russian roads. Additional luggage racks are installed on the roof of the car. This will allow you to feel comfortable on any journey and not worry about spaciousness.

Crossover price starts from 580 thousand rubles. Depending on the configuration, additional chips and improvements, the cost can reach 850 thousand rubles.

Car similarities and differences

Cars have a lot in common. Firstly, The design is almost exactly the same. The only difference is the external image of the crossover. It stands out with the brutal features of an SUV, and is also equipped with an upper luggage compartment.

Secondly, the technical characteristics copy each other. Both machines are also equipped ABS systems, ESP. Moreover, the ESP stabilizer can prevent the crossover from overcoming too dangerous obstacles. But both additions increase the safety and comfort of cars.

Thirdly, the cost is approximately equal. The difference is about 50 thousand rubles, which will not play a significant role in choosing a reliable candidate.

Although the Stepway is a modernized version of the Renault Sandero, there are differences between them. Do not forget that the first one is still an SUV, although it is a single-wheel drive. Ground clearance increased by 20 mm. When laden, up to the full permitted weight, cars noticeably sag. Clearance at Stepway remains at the level of 175 mm, and at its progenitor - up to 135 mm.

The crossover can easily overcome impassability. On a city highway, you are unlikely to feel the difference in traffic. However, any obstacles, in particular an icy area or a forest belt, will present cars in a completely different style. If you mainly move around the city highway, then you can give preference to a hatchback. But if active car travel beckons you and makes you conquer dangerous roads, then, without hesitation, give the choice to a crossover.

An additional luggage complex on the roof also gives a certain charm to the SUV. A protective body kit on the body provides increased safety. The item is made of plastic.

How to choose a car?

Thus, when choosing a car, you should clearly define the purpose of your future trips. Will it be city moving in a circle big family or powerful off-road travel. If you are a representative of the practical style of the metropolis, then Renault Sandero is your the best choice. If you dream of conquering the peaks of the snowy slopes and the sand dunes of the desert plains, then the Stepway crossover will not disappoint your expectations. In any case, the price of both candidates is approximately equal.

The car range of the French concern offers the Russian driver a wide variety of democratic and practical models to choose from. Among the total number, Renault Duster or Stepway can be distinguished, which have become in demand in the domestic market due to their characteristics, they replaced the “obsolete” Niva and UAZ, not in many ways inferior in terms of cross-country ability, but winning in terms of economy of maintenance.

History reference

The appearance on the automotive market of these two French representatives was at about the same time, Duster came out in 2009, and Stepway a year later, in 2010. At first, it was the modernized Sandero that had the advantage, it was in great demand in Europe. To date, the leadership in popularity has passed to the Duster, which has become the most sought-after crossover, if not an SUV, in most countries, including Russia.

Exterior Renault Sandero Stepway and Renault Duster

Of course, you need to start the comparison with the appearance of the cars, for many owners this is a decisive factor when choosing vehicle. Renault Duster and Stepway Sandero share many of the common features that the French concern embodies in each model, such as roof rails, but there are also important distinguishing points:

The Duster has the “correct” front bumper angle, which is better for off-road driving. Its dimensions are slightly larger than the "younger brother", but they are sharper, which reduces the aerodynamic properties of the car. The high clearance of the French crossover of 20 cm takes the lead in driving through the countryside, not only in this comparison.
Stepway is endowed with an urban dynamic appearance, typical for small crossovers. He has a straight bumper that can cling to deep pits, especially since the clearance is slightly, but still inferior to the Duster model.
The Duster has no problems with the rear bumper, it is not lifted up, if you open the door, you can easily place it on a picnic.

Dimensions

The following comparison between Sandero Stepway and Duster will be made in terms of car dimensions:

Duster wins in length, surpassing its “rival” by 20 cm, rear passengers will not have to experience inconvenience;
Trunk space is also on the Duster's side, but even with 320 liters, the Stepway offers us a full-fledged spare tire, which cannot be underestimated;
Due to its slightly smaller dimensions, Sandero is more maneuverable and light, it is quite suitable for a measured city life.

Technical filling

What else will help you choose Renault Duster or Renault Stepway? Of course, technical capabilities compared cars. Here you need to understand that you should evaluate the vehicle for your driving style and preferences, which each of the compared objects can implement in different ways.

Initially, to answer the question of which is better - Duster or Sandero Stepway, an assessment of car engines will help us.

Power units

Both Renault Duster and Renault Sandero Stepway offer several engine models:

Duster offers domestic consumers 3 options, with a choice of diesel unit;
The modified Sandero loses in this comparison, there are only 2 options in its lineup and both are gasoline;
By horsepower the Duster also has an advantage, more than 135 units frolic under its hood, when the Stepway has 84 horses in one version, and 102 hp in the other;

The base engine volumes are similar, 1.6 for each model, but this Sandero is limited, while its “rival” can offer a 2.0 liter unit.

Transmission

The next item on which many motorists choose their future vehicle is the transmission. In this aspect, both Duster and Stepway can be awarded a draw, since both models are equipped with automatic transmission and manual transmission, so connoisseurs of the machine can stop at both Frenchmen, moving on to the next selection factor.

Drive unit

In the next case, by the way, Sandero Stepway can please us only with front-wheel drive, which once again confirms the car's connection to city life.

Since we have already hinted at Renault Sandero, or rather, about its limitations, we will give way to Duster, which can honestly be called a universal car.

Firstly, this is due to the possibility of acquiring this vehicle with all-wheel drive. Add a lot of clearance here and get a relatively inexpensive compact and economical SUV;
Secondly, the all-wheel drive option is available in all proposed configurations, which further expands the buyer's options.

At the same time, all tests showed that the Duster with front-wheel drive is not in many ways inferior to all-wheel drive, moderate driving on rural roads is also measured and confident.

All Stepway models also have good driving characteristics: maneuverability, confidence on the road, the car holds the road perfectly and easily responds to the driver's commands.

Interior

Now let's take a look at the interior of Renault cars:

Both cars have a French style that is clearly expressed in Logan's models: simple decoration, a pronounced panel;
If we compare the multimedia of a car, then the Duster is insignificant, but inferior to the Stepway, the use of the system requires attention from the driver, which can adversely affect the ride;
The interior of both representatives of Renault can be called comfortable and ergonomically well-equipped.

Comfort on the road

We have already touched on the topic of ride comfort a bit, but let's highlight one more important feature of each car:

The Duster is much softer than the Stepway, it swallows small pits and potholes, passengers do not particularly experience discomfort when traveling off-road;
In turn, the Stepway boasts confident handling on sharp turns, which, again, is more relevant in urban environments.

Price component

The last factor when choosing and comparing cars is the cost of the vehicle. The Duster has a higher price than the Stepway, as in basic configuration(although the difference is only a few tens of thousands of rubles), and in the maximum, but we will talk about 100 thousand rubles. In general, each car allows the driver to choose the best option for quite a bit of money, when compared with prices for similar classes of European manufacturers.

Evaluating cars by appearance, there is no doubt for a second - the "VAZ" hatchback turned out to be definitely more solid and beautiful. From all sides it looks dignified and modern, which cannot be said about the kurguz and even somewhere “rustic” appearance of the Stepway. "Lada" is distinguished by LED running lights and fashionably concave side panels.

However, not everyone likes these vyshtampovki, although, to be honest, against the background of “renoshnyh” they look, if not better, then clearly more interesting. But the pseudo-protective plastic body kit and wheel arch extensions, like those, will obviously not hurt the Togliatti car from an aesthetic point of view - the window sill line could visually shift down a little, and the ambiguous "sidewalls" of especially picky consumers would no longer callous eyes.

For the "X-shaped" muzzle, which, having borrowed culturally from Lexus and other Hondas, Steve Mattin glued the "Xrey", the VAZ workers should say thanks - the expressionless face of the "Stepway" definitely needs plastic surgery. As, in general, and its sirloin, by no means causing excitement.

The stern of the "Volzhanin" with small and raised up lanterns is also, of course, not a work of art, but in any case you cannot call it frankly primitive. At least, unlike Sandero, the girls see off with their eyes, and I did not notice sympathy for the driver on their faces. Our "like" to the domestic auto giant.

INTERIOR ERGONOMICS

It’s hard not to notice that when you open the doors, a pile of snow that has fallen from the roof gets into the cabin - you sit in the XRAY without first brushing the snowflakes off the chair. And all because the doors of the Lada clearly go into the openings, while in the Renault they dock directly to the roof.

In general, the relationship in the interior of both cars is obvious. However, even here the Xray is clearly in - not least thanks to the larger arrow-numbers on the instrument panel and the location of all four power window keys on the driver's door. While Sandero has two of them in this place. The control buttons for the rear windows are located on the center console - in an attempt to get into them with your finger, you have to be distracted from the road.

In addition, Togliatti residents did not stint on equipping the steering wheel of their “horse” with audio control buttons - the “Frenchman” offers to set up “music” with an uncomfortable steering column lever. Multimedia for machines of the budget segment in both cases is decent: everything is simple and intuitive. Even in severe frost, the display does not slow down and does not fail. Only now the phone sees the head unit "Iksrey" through time.

The headlight range control knob in Renault is located to the left of the "steering wheel" at the very bottom dashboard, and getting to it will require the skills of an acrobat, and then sessions of a chiropractor to help set the twisted neck into place. A LADA driver will not encounter such things.

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

As for landing, it will not be difficult to get comfortable in both cars. Only the headrest is more of an element of decor than safety, because it is located too far from the back of the head.

It would be nice to move the seat heating buttons in both cars to the center console. Not only are the keys located in the niche between the door and the seat periodically turned on with your foot when you exit the car, it’s also quite difficult to find them while driving without being distracted from the road. I'm not talking about the fact that the representatives of the fair half in an attempt to warm up the fifth point can break their nails.

Claims to the review are only "Sandero", whose side mirrors and front door glass instantly spat with dirt - Togliatti pseudo-crossover gets credit. Including because when opening the luggage compartment, the driver will not get his hands dirty, as is the case with. Yes, and the cargo compartment of the "Xray" is much more spacious than the "reno" one - 361 liters against 320 liters.

RIDING HABITS

Until the 122-horsepower LADA engine was "married" with a five-speed "mechanics", it did not cause positive emotions. With a frankly stupid and twitchy single-disc “robot”, the car did not want to go at all. Hallelujah - you can't call XRAY a vegetable anymore. True, his gearbox shifts are not as clear and elastic as those of the “five-step”, which, among other things, has longer strokes.

I must say that the “Frenchman” with its 113 forces under the hood is also not a miss - there is enough traction in almost the entire rev range. A smaller number of “horses” is expected to affect consumption - in the combined cycle, the Sandero consumes no more than 9.7 liters per hundred, while the Xray indecently swallows all 13.

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