Prices budget car Renault of the year releases start from 629990 p. There are two configuration options: basic Confort and maximum Privilege. Despite the affordable prices, the new one is filled with a very pleasant set of options.
Both versions of the car are equipped with the same 1.6 liter engines and 82 or 102 hp. With. The set of gearboxes available for selection is also the same - for more weak engine 5-speed manual and robotic gearbox, and for a more powerful one - a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. How do the configurations differ, and what is the reason for the higher price of the luxury version?
Comfort version
Externally, the year of manufacture looks the same as the Privilege - the body is painted in metallic, bumpers, mirrors and door handles are body-colored.
The radiator grille is always painted black. with a diameter of 16 inches imitate casting. The windows are lightly tinted. In general, in both versions, the car looks expensive and attractive.
As for the interior, in a less expensive configuration internal handles the doors are black, and the dashboard has a chrome finish. Even for a small price, the seats in the Renault Sandero Stepway are trimmed with quality fabric.
Affordable price is not an obstacle to equipping a car with a set useful features. Factory equipment French hatchback includes everything you need for a comfortable ride:
- Cruise control;
- air recirculation in the interior ventilation system;
- front ;
- with remote control;
- heated exterior mirrors and seats;
- air temperature sensor outside the car.
Thus, the car is convenient to use not only in the climate familiar to the French - it is also prepared for Russian conditions. Adaptation to frost is also manifested in standard heating rear window, and optional heating windshield.
Safety car renault 2016 release is at a decent level: the brakes are equipped anti-lock braking system with an electronic force distribution, the driver and passengers are protected by all the necessary airbags.
Option Privilege
The factory equipment of 2016 release is equipped with a full range of options. Externally, the car is similar to the initial version, but some differences are already noticeable in the cabin: door handles in the luxury version, they are chrome-plated, and the dashboard is completely black. As in the car with an incomplete set, the seats have fabric trim.
Despite the very modest price difference between the car options, the Privilege version is equipped with very useful additional options.
In the cabin of the car there is a climate control system that makes travel much more comfortable. Rear side windows, like the front ones, are controlled by electric windows. Renault Sandero New 2016 release in the Privilege version is equipped with a powerful acoustic system with 4 speakers, which allows you to play music from both CDs and USB sticks and is conveniently controlled by a joystick under the steering wheel. On dashboard there is a multifunctional on-board computer.
Safety measures that protect the driver and passengers are even more serious - side airbags are added to the standard set of front airbags. Optional to ABS system can be added to stabilize the car when cornering high speed. At the request of the buyer, the car is also equipped with rear.
Logan with mechanics: from Access to Luxe Privilege
They start from a mark of 534,000 rubles (access package). This is an empty car with a vegetable 1.6-liter 82-horsepower engine, 5-speed manual, mechanical windows, one airbag and strictly without air conditioning - you can’t order it for a surcharge. Since the demand for such versions is minimal even from taxi and corporate fleets, we will shamelessly consider this version and its price as an advertising ploy.
The next step is the Confort package for 597,990 rubles. By default, the same engine and transmission will be here, but the front ones will be added. power windows and the ability to order required options. The passenger airbag will cost a symbolic 2990 rubles, the system remote start Renault engine Start - at 6990 rubles. For heating the windshield, front seats and mirrors, give 16,990 rubles. For an audio system with Bluetooth support - another 10,990 rubles. The most expensive option needed is air conditioning. The French are asking for 29,990 rubles for it. Thus, a “ready-to-use” car will cost 665,940 rubles. But even if the capabilities of the 82-horsepower engine suit you (11.9 seconds to 100 km / h), and the budget is very limited, I cannot call this option a good choice. And that's why.
The Confort version can also be equipped with a modern 1.6-liter 16-valve with 113 horsepower. Moreover, this engine is more economical than the 82-horsepower. In the urban cycle, the difference is 1.3 l / 100 km, which, with an annual mileage of 25,000 km, will result in about 12,000 rubles. A “mechanical” Logan with such an engine will cost at least 657,990 rubles, however, unlike less powerful version- air conditioning will be "in the base". If you equip such a sedan with all the above options, the price will be 725,940 rubles. And here there are two conclusions. First: the surcharge for a more powerful, torquey and economical engine is 60,000 rubles and definitely makes sense. Second: having a similar amount, you can start looking at Sandero Stepway.
If you are not interested in Logan more than 700,000 rubles, you can immediately proceed to the next chapter. But we will finish what we started and consider more expensive equipment sedan.
Directly behind "Comfort" in the hierarchy of the configurator is active version. It is aggregated only by a 4-speed automatic, so we will return to it a little later - when we select the optimal Logan with two pedals. The next "mechanical" option is the pre-top Privilege version. Base prices vary from 673,990 rubles (82 forces) to 713,990 (113 forces), and the main differences come down to wider retrofitting opportunities. Privilege can be "charged" with side airbags, a stabilization system and rear parking sensors. Such a sedan will be another 20,990 rubles more expensive. And all four power windows will be electric. If we consider Logan not as a workhorse, but as family car This is what I think is the best performance. But only in combination with a 113-horsepower engine - this version relies on air conditioning.
However, with a strong desire, you can throw a little more and buy a top-end Luxe Privilege, having received a 113-horsepower engine for 759,990 rubles and everything in general available options. The differences from the Privilege package are again in the formation of packages: here, by default, there will be those options for which Privilege buyers will have to pay: rear parking sensors, side airbags, heated windshield, climate control, leather steering wheel. And the only fundamental difference there will be light-alloy 15-inch wheels that are not available to buyers of simpler versions, and climate control instead of a conventional air conditioner. Are they worth the difference of 25,010 rubles - you decide.
Sandero Stepway on mechanics: Confort, Privilege
According to the configurator, the minimum amount required to purchase a raised Sandero is 689,990 rubles. But - as in the case of the most accessible Logan - I will consider it advertising. For this money, you can only get a car with an 82-horsepower “eight-valve”, without air conditioning and an audio system. So, feel free to add 29,990 for the “condo” (fortunately, it is possible to order it for a surcharge) and 10,990 for the “Audio” package - you get 730,990 rubles. And if the budget allows, instead of the "Audio" package, order the "Multimedia" package - it is only 9,000 rubles more expensive. Thus, for 739,990 rubles you will get a car with a good LG entertainment center and even navigation maps.
Stepway in the same Confort configuration, but with a “normal” engine with a capacity of 113 forces, will pull at least 729,990 rubles. And you should not expect any additional "buns". For all the above options, you will have to pay the above money, and the bill for the completed car will come close to 770,000 rubles. Never order this configuration! Now I will explain why.
The fact is that for exactly the same money (from 774,990 rubles), Renault has options that are more profitable and more interesting. The first one is . In fact, the same Confort with a 113-horsepower engine and 5-speed manual, but supplemented with everything necessary equipment(in addition to what we discussed above, there will be a Renault Start remote start system) and an eye-catching characteristic features versions: stylized as cast rims dark color, as well as original applications on the doors and mirrors. And Sandero Stepway LE can be ordered in a white color scheme, which is not available in other versions. Despite all these chips, other things being equal, the LE will turn out to be about 5,000 rubles more profitable than the Confort stuffed with extras with a similar engine.
The second option is Sandero Stepway in the top performance Privilege. Yes - for 771,990 they offer a hatchback with an 82-horsepower engine and mechanics, but by default there will be four airbags instead of two, climate control instead of air conditioning. And also: cruise control, leather-trimmed steering wheel and the ability to order a security package (17,990 rubles), including rear parking sensors and a stabilization system. The last one will definitely not be redundant. Everything is the same, but with a 113-horsepower engine it will cost 40,000 more - at least 811,990 rubles. If you wish, you can add here the heated windshield for 7990, navigation system for 15,990 rubles. It will turn out 835,880 rubles - and this is the ceiling for the three-pedal Sandero Stepway.
Renault Logan and Sandero Stepway with automatic
Before delving into the specifics of the configurations, I must warn you about this: the Logan / Sandero is equipped with an old 4-speed automatic, which is combined exclusively with the proven 1.6-liter engine with 102 hp. With. (The French did not become friends with an automatic machine with a 113-horsepower engine). Everything would be fine, but this couple manages to eat up to 14-15 l / 100 km in the city. Are you ready to put up with this state of affairs? Then we will consider all the options in detail.
Most accessible - Renault Logan V configuration Active for 687,990 rubles. The equipment is rather poor, but air conditioning and front power windows are already available in the base. Given a limited budget, I would throw only 2990 rubles for an airbag front passenger. If you do not take into account Datsun, Ravon and the "Chinese", this is one of the most profitable "two-pedal" offers on the market. The only pity is that the Active cannot be retrofitted with side airbags and a stabilization system.
The next two steps are Logan with an automatic in Privilege versions (from 743,990 rubles) and Luxe Privilege (from 789,990 rubles). The layouts for configurations and options are again identical to those offered for modifications with mechanics. And therefore it is easy to calculate what kind of archaic machine Renault asks for 70,000 rubles (here you should not forget that another engine is combined with it).
With Sandero Stepway it's even easier: automatic box gears can be ordered in just two versions - Confort and Privilege. Prices for the first start from 759,990 rubles. For the second - from 841,990 rubles. Sandero Stepway in the top version and with all the options (not counting the ERA-GLONASS system, for which Renault asks for 11,990 rubles) will cost 883,960 rubles.
What is the result?
You have to pay for the crossover image. Ceteris paribus, Renault Sandero Stepway is 30-40 thousand rubles more expensive than Logan, and in the case of the top versions of Privilege, this difference reaches almost 100 thousand rubles. True, despite the same configuration names, raised hatchbacks will be equipped with slightly better than sedans. And yes - buying a Sandero Stepway, you get a car with a truly crossover clearance (195 mm versus 155 for Logan - according to our measurements).
Logan's advantages (besides the price) - c. The sedan has 510 liters of real volume, the hatchback has only 320. Otherwise, there is absolute parity between the two Renaults. And if you're interested in my opinion - here it is.
For work trips, I would choose Renault Logan Confort with a 113-horsepower engine and mechanics, ordering in addition only the front passenger airbag. As family car I would take the Privilege Sandero Stepway - with side airbags and ESP. If you do not have three children, the capacity of the hatchback is enough. And paying several tens of thousands of rubles for a youth-crossover image is not so bad idea. In the end, we after all choose a car for several years.
The car was bought new maximum configuration Privilege + parking sensors, no extras.
I bought a car for my wife, but for now I drive more often myself. I have an old diesel BMW E39 530d 2001, will have to compare with it.
Pros:
+ Clearance and miniature sizes make it easy to park, drive through any yards in winter. Minus the clearance - it is inconvenient for small children to get in / out, their pants get dirty.
+ Wide tires with a small weight gives excellent handling in winter. I can easily do without ESP, at low speeds you can do anything, it won’t go into a skid. However, studded tires cost 25 tr.
+ Driving in the city is simple in everything (high seating position, good light, large mirrors, acceleration at low speeds).
+ Built-in winding system with a key for 10 minutes. I use it all the time, it's convenient.
+ Cruise control - I also use it all the time, one press of a button changes the speed by 2 km / h. sometimes almost all the way I pass on the "manual control".
Minuses:
- Fuel consumption. A bunch of an ancient automatic transmission with a weak engine in a light body eats 11-12 liters of the 95th in the city, 8 liters at a speed of 100, or 7 liters at a speed of 80 in the country. Comp average consumption right now it shows 9.6 at average speed 31.8 (we live outside the city, the mileage is more on the highway). For comparison: my 16-year-old car with a weight of 1.5 times more and a 3-liter engine eats less than 6 liters on the highway at a speed of 100.
- No soundproofing! You can hear the impact of every grain of sand on the hull. At speeds over 80 km / h, you can only talk very loudly with the back row.
- Native speakers are just shit! "Bass" choke already at half the volume, ie. the volume cannot be turned on loudly. And at this half volume, after 80 km / h, the music is no longer audible due to the lack of noise. In a traffic jam, you can only listen.
- Perverted ergonomics. Everything is not where it should be, and it is pressed in the wrong direction, as usual. The joystick for the radio is especially sophisticated. You can probably get used to it, but it's very annoying. Okay, the pedals haven't been swapped yet.
- More ergonomics. No coolant temperature reading. In general, only ONE indication is displayed on the screen: either time, or temperature overboard, or mileage, and so on. If the cruise is on (like mine) - then only set speed and that's it. How it was possible to manage to do so monstrously inconveniently is incomprehensible. I'm definitely not used to this.
In general: the car is excellent for the city, it allows you to move quickly and park quickly. At speeds up to 80 km / h in winter, I would drive it. I think that my money (about 800 tr. at the end of 2017) is quite worth it, if you do not remember the pre-crisis prices.
But somewhere in the range from 80 to 100 km / h, all the pleasure from this car disappears: it does not really accelerate, the noise in the cabin does not allow you to talk normally. More than 100 km / h is already scary to go, and there is no ESP. Not a track car. Will come down to the village in the summer.
More little things: the climate works fine, comfortable. leather steering wheel- well, it’s not clear what, but it doesn’t look like skin, more like plastic. Under engine compartment there is no plastic protection, so when open bonnet see asphalt. The tailgate opens only with a button-lock, as on a Zhiguli. The tank is small, you need to fill up relatively often.
Capacity: on the second row can be difficult to place for a short time Baby chair and two adults. If there are 2 chairs - an adult will no longer climb, a child can be. There is not much space between the rows.
