Which 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

Classic "Niva" and UAZ cars are gradually losing popularity - the country's road infrastructure is developing, and fuel is gradually becoming more expensive, which forces people to consider other cars. However, it is not so easy to give up the status of the owner of an SUV, albeit a budget one. Knowing this, many companies are producing relatively economical and easy-to-drive crossovers that are styled 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, you should carefully compare Renault Sandero Stepway and Renault Duster.

SUVs?

Both cars in the comparison have a front-wheel drive transmission, equipped with similar 1.6-liter engines, as well as five-speed transmissions. However, if desired, buyers can order Renault Duster in all-wheel drive version, while for Sandero stepway no such modification is available. But hope for some off-road ability remains, given the 210mm ground clearance for the Duster and 175mm for the Renault Sandero Stepway.

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 shorter gears and the engine pulls well from the lowest rpms, so climbing steep slopes won't be an impossible task for the Duster. Large ground clearance allows Renault Duster to move confidently on dirt roads and even forest clearings, as well as to get 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 rise. It is also not worth going on dirt roads in the rain - if small patches of viscous soil can be overcome due to the excellent settings of the Duster engine and transmission, then the crossover will get stuck in the very first deep hole.

The hatchback, which has never had anything to do with the crossover class, is even less likely to cope off-road. The clearance of Renault Sandero Stepway, increased in comparison with the standard Logan family, allows you to forget about impacts from the bottom in ruts and on a dirt road, but does not help to overcome serious obstacles. It is worth saying that when trying to drive along a forest clearing or a rocky plain, it can part with a low overhanging under rear bumper muffler. In addition, the transmission settings are more focused on measured driving on the highway than on conquering steep slopes.

In the town

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

The champion in spaciousness Renault Sandero cannot be called - 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 the heads of people. The front seats are set slightly low and have a sub-optimal backrest profile, but on short everyday trips Renault owner Sandero Stepway will not feel any inconvenience. The car does not set records in terms of trunk volume - it was not large even in the usual Renault Sandero, and in 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 facilitates the loading of bulky items, therefore, the Sandero Stepway owner will be able to use the 1.2 cubic meter cargo space created when the rear seats are folded down without difficulty.

Among the disadvantages of the Renault Duster running gear can be called excessive softness, which makes a large car heel in corners and “nod off” during hard braking. However, all this can be forgiven for the crossover for the complete absence of bumps and swinging when passing bumps. Duster owners are always proud to report that they don't even brake in poorly pavement areas where others slow down their cars a lot to avoid damaging the suspension. But here are the "off-road" settings power unit and transmissions in the city are useless. Due to the shortened gears, the Renault Duster driver is forced to constantly listen to the noise of the engine running at high revs.

The front seats of the Duster 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 mistakes in the Renault crossover:

The front panel begins to emit quite strong creaks over time;
The gas pedal is located close to the central tunnel;
The touchscreen, available in the expensive ones, glows when exposed to light rays.

There is more space in the back than in Sandero - three people can be accommodated 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, is close to 500 liters, and with a complete transformation of the cabin it is equal to 1.65 cubic meters.

Different tempers

Despite being appropriated by Renault marketers, the Sandero Stepway hatchback is intended solely for on-road travel. Of course, the increased ground clearance allows him to drive without any hindrance on country roads and broken streets of city outskirts, but Renault Sandero will not last even a hundred meters on a soggy dirt road. Another thing is Renault Duster, which was originally developed as an all-terrain vehicle and lost rear-wheel drive solely to reduce the cost. The Renault crossover can go off the 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 Duster's capabilities are limited, and it may well get stuck in mud or just on slippery surfaces.

Owner reviews

Everything in order:

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

2. An overlay-sticker on the driver's doorstep has come off, change the issue price of 1,400 rubles per sticker, plus work.

3. The front seats are very short, on a long journey, legs and knees begin to hurt (maximum 800 km and then write wasted).

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

5. The armrest is an expensive option, without it the hand gets tired, and not very 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 machine gun, it is a 4-pound mortar, the speed after 120 km / h is prohibitive, and gasoline eats hoo.

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

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

9. The trunk is small.

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

Video review

We bought our "Bitch" in September 2015. At the time of this writing, we drove 39,000 km on it (for almost two years). The first year there was a "run-in", and the 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 car became more playful than when buying (I read somewhere that it is on many Stepways). Very quickly I got used to the cruise control (I now use it even in the city), the steering wheel joystick for music control 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 (I got stuck only on clay after rain - it licked and wound up clay and clogged the wheel arch liners), and I like to ride everywhere - a summer cottage, a river, a forest ...

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

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

The disgusting quality of carpets on the floor of the passenger compartment and in the trunk - after each vacuuming, a lot of lint remains on the brush.

I would also like to say about the quality wheel rims- they are frankly soft - they bend from falling into good pits and are also easily driven 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 cover - everything is beautiful, pleasant, but ... after 35,000 km, the scuffs on the steering wheel became visible, and the skin began to creep out.

Dmitry Sitnikov, review of Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 (102 HP) mechanic 2015 onwards

Where can I buy?

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

It is too early to judge how high-quality iron is made in Samara in comparison with the tinned bodies that were transported 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.

Cross-country ability: rushing through mud and snow like a small tank (it climbed into loose village snow, and into a forest with deep puddles up to the rapids after rain), but all-wheel drive is not enough.

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

In the maximum speed, there is not enough heating of the rear seats, the stove is rather weak for cold winters. A small trunk, which is compensated by the installation of a torpedo roof rack on the roof (shove - I don't want to).
There are not enough nets for the trunk in the basic configurations (I will compensate by going to aliexpress). The noise is average.

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

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

The car is clearly not for long-distance people (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 generally unpaved roads.

The main disadvantages of 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 freezing temperatures, a typical urban consumption in Moscow is 12-13 liters per hundred, but this is 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 operating on the market for quite a long time and has established itself as a practical manufacturer. Cars are always distinguished by comfort, affordable prices and good technical characteristics. Today you can 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. A machine based on Renault logan, from which she took over 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 settled at the level 6 - 8.6 per 100 km... Accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. Most often occurs mechanical box gear. But at a slightly increased 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. Interior decoration is presented with high 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 comfortable city life.

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

Distinctive features of Renault Sandero Stepway

The front-wheel drive crossover is equipped with 5 doors and 4 passenger seats. Should call it a modernized version of the 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, on desert expanses and under any obstacles. Depending on the class, the power of the car starts from 82 horsepower and reaches 113. Fuel consumption is set at the level 5.7 - 8.9 per 100 km... Accelerates to 100 km / h in 11 seconds. Mainly a manual transmission. When installed automatic box the transmission cost of the car increases slightly.

The luggage compartment, as in its analogue, is roomy and practical. The design of the car does not leave you indifferent. All the same grace of Sandero and elegant lines of bindings. The car interior is made of high 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 an undoubted advantage for Russian roads. Additional luggage racks are installed on the roof of the car. This will allow you to feel comfortable on any trip and not worry about roominess.

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

Similarities and differences between cars

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

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

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 the two. Do not forget that the first one is still an SUV, although it is a mono-drive one. The ground clearance is increased by 20 mm. When loaded, up to the full permitted weight, the cars sag noticeably. Clearance at Stepway remains at 175 mm, and at its progenitor - up to 135 mm.

Corossover can easily overcome off-road conditions. On a city highway, you will hardly feel the difference in movement. However, any obstacle, in particular an icy area or a forest belt, will present cars in a completely different style. If you mainly move along the city highway, then you can give preference to the hatchback. But if active travel by car beckons you and makes you conquer dangerous roads, then, without hesitation, give the choice to a crossover.

The optional roof rack also lends a certain charm to the SUV. And increased safety is provided by a protective body kit on the body. The part is made of plastic.

How to choose a car?

Thus, when choosing a car, you should clearly define the goals of your future travel. Will it be city traffic in a circle large family or powerful off-road travel. If you are a representative of the practical style of a metropolis, then Renault Sandero is your the best choice... If you dream of conquering the tops of snow slopes and sand dunes of 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 have replaced the "outdated" Niva and UAZ cars, not much inferior in traffic, but winning in terms of the economy of content.

History reference

The appearance on the automotive market of these two French representatives was approximately at 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 popular crossover, if not an SUV, in most countries, including Russia.

Exterior Renault Sandero Stepway and Renault Duster

Naturally, 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 retain many of the common features that the French concern embodies in each model, for example, roof rails, but there are also important distinguishing points:

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

Dimensions (edit)

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

Duster wins in length, surpassing its rival by 20 cm, rear passengers will not have to experience any inconvenience;
The volume of the trunk is also on the side of the Duster, but even with 320 liters, the Stepway offers us a full-fledged spare wheel, which cannot but be appreciated;
Due to its slightly smaller dimensions, Sandero is more maneuverable and lightweight, it is quite suitable for measured city life.

Technical stuffing

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 which is better - Duster or Sandero Stepway, the 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, in its line there are only 2 variants and both are gasoline;
By horse power the advantage is also for the Duster, under its hood more than 135 units frolic, when Stepway has 84 horses in one version, and 102 hp in the other;

The basic displacement of the engines is 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 factor of choice.

Drive unit

In the next case, by the way, Sandero Stepway can only please us with a 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 purchasing this vehicle with all-wheel drive. Add a lot of clearance here and you get a relatively inexpensive compact and economical SUV;
Secondly, the all-wheel drive version is available in all offered trim levels, which further expands the customer's options.

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

All Stepway models also have good driving characteristics: agility, confidence on the road, the car has excellent road holding and easily responds to driver commands.

Interior

Now let's take care of the interior of Renault cars:

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

Comfort on the road

We have already touched on the topic of ride comfort a little, but let's highlight some more important features of each car:

Duster is much softer than Stepway, it swallows small pits and potholes, passengers are not particularly uncomfortable when driving off-road;
In turn, the Stepway boasts confident handling in tight corners, which, again, is more important in urban environments.

Price component

The last factor when choosing and comparing cars is the cost of the vehicle. Duster has a higher price than 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 the prices for similar classes of European manufacturers.

Evaluating cars by outward appearance, there is no doubt for a second - the "VAZ" hatchback turned out to be unambiguously 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 Stepway. Lada is distinguished by LED running lights and fashionable concave side panels.

However, not everyone likes these stampings, although, to be honest, they look, if not better, than they are clearly more interesting against the background of the “re-made” ones. But a pseudo-protective plastic body kit and wheel arch extensions, like that of a Togliatti car, will obviously not hurt from an aesthetic point of view - the window sill line could visually move down a little, and the ambiguous "sidewalls" of especially picky consumers would not be an eyesore to the eyes.

For the "X-shaped" face, which, having culturally borrowed from Lexus and other Honda, Steve Mattin glued "Ixreya", VAZ people should be thanked - the expressionless face of "Stepway" definitely needs plastic surgery. As, in general, and its sirloin, which does not cause excitement.

The "Volzhanin's" feed 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 are watching, and I did not notice sympathy for the driver on their faces. Our "like" to the domestic auto giant.

INTERIOR ERGONOMICS

It is difficult not to notice that when you open the doors, a pile of snow that has fallen from the roof falls into the cabin - you sit down in XRAY without first brushing the snowflakes from the chair. And all because the doors of the "Lada" clearly go into the openings, in the "Renault" they dock directly to the roof.

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

In addition, the Togliatti residents were not stingy to equip the steering wheel of their "horse" with audio control buttons - the "Frenchman" offers to tune the "music" with an inconvenient steering wheel lever. The multimedia for cars of the budget segment is decent in both cases: everything is simple and intuitive. Even in severe frost, the display does not slow down or malfunction. Only now the head unit "Ixreya" sees the phone every other time.

The headlight range control knob in Renault is located to the left of the steering wheel at the very bottom dashboard, and to get to it, you will need the skills of an acrobat, and then sessions of a chiropractor who will help to set the curled neck in place. The LADA driver will not encounter similar ones.

But the steering wheel of the French hatchback itself 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 in, rather an element of decor than safety, because it is located too far from the back of the head.

The seat heating buttons in both cars would be nice to move 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 leave the car, but it is also quite difficult to find them while driving without being distracted from the road. I'm not even talking about the fact that the fair sex in an attempt to warm up the fifth point can break their nails.

Only Sandero, whose side mirrors and windows of the front doors are instantly spat with mud, causes complaints about the review - the Togliatti pseudo-crossover gets credit. Including because opening the luggage compartment, the driver does not get his hands dirty, as is the case with. Yes, and the cargo compartment of the Iccrea itself is much more capacious than the "renosh" one - 361 liters versus 320 liters.

RIDING WEARING

Until the 122-horsepower LADA engine was "married" to a five-speed "mechanics", it did not cause positive emotions. With an openly stupid and twitching single-disk "robot", the car did not want to drive at all. Hallelujah - XRAY is no more vegetable. True, his gearbox shifts are not as clear and flexible as in the "five-step", which, among other things, is distinguished by longer strokes.

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

Both cars firmly cling to the road without forcing the driver to wash their face with cold sweat when passing sharp turns. "Togliatti", perhaps, only slightly softer digests the unevenness of the roadway - probably the effect of the installation of other shock absorbers and springs. No complaints about the brakes.
