What a road clearance in Renault Sandero. Clearance Renault Sandero, Renault Sandero Road Suitability

Which received folk recognition for budgetary services, reliability and many other modern trends and parameters, without which it is impossible to present a car.

Continuity in detail

The unity of the reliable platform "Renault Sandero", whose clearance is at least 155 mm, acceptable value and pretty appearance - the main features of this model, which can be successfully used both in urban environments and for traveling without luggage. In the database of this machine, technologies are used and constructive featureswho have not changed no less than 20 years.

After all, now the fashion for the exterior and practicality dictate marketers who are guided by the wishes of the market, and not engineers and designers, which have always implemented innovation in their developments. Therefore, when designing the model, only the priority parameters of the price, quality, safety, visual attractiveness and passability were guided. As a result, the Renault Sandero car, whose clearance is more than enough to park in the city, gained full harmony between the internal content and external appearance.

Restyling

At the same time, for more demanding buyers, a version was provided in the form or a roomy hatchback, which was named Stepway. This car highlights the features of the outside, not inherent clearance. The machine of the previous generation in the body of the hatchback has less aggressive exterior and handling, another ruler power aggregatesBut all the same traditional platform B0, which is applied since the model was presented under the Dacia Shotkit. Considering the changes that led to the emergence of a new car, it should be noted that you should not forget about its ultimate cost. The price of the new version increased very slightly, it demonstrates an adequate and weighted approach, which is not so often found in the new product market. The clearance model of which has changed to 175 mm, received smooth and drop-down body lines, which end with durable plastic body kit, new interesting optics and absolutely other filling of the interior, which has become much more modern.

Optimal presets in the car

In the car, they did not forget about the passability and, depending on the quality of the ways to cover the communication in a particular region or the state, in Renault Sundero, the clearance varies with ± 30 mm from the base value. This allows you to extend the operation of the suspension, which is made in the form of a triangular lever and a n-shaped axis with a defined level of deformation, and ensure the most comfortable ride quality that is possible with the features of domestic roads.

Thus, the specialists of the autocontracert were the optimal values \u200b\u200bfor Renault Sandero, whose clearance allows, without difficulty, move both in winter conditions and on the primers from Kolas, which makes this model by a folk favorite.

The term "crossover" is currently used to the most different cars. Including models with a drive per axis, but with increased road lumen and the corresponding body kit. Almost simultaneously on the market in addition to standard models appeared Renault Sandero. Stepway and Lada Kalina Cross. Both cars are produced in Tolyatti, and both are presented as crossovers. We were not satisfied between the Borodino battle between the Russified "French" and the original "Russians", but in pairwise compared cars with basic counterparts - to find out if it makes sense to overpay for such pseudocrossors. There were two heads of an extensive crossover novel.

Our cars Renault Sandero and Renault Sandero Stepway are in the rich configuration of Privilege, with a 102-strong motor and a mechanical five-speed gearbox. Test Sandero costs 609,000 rubles, StepWay - 651,000 rubles (February prices). The difference is 42 thousand.

On the bodies of the car are almost the same. Sandero Stepway is distinguished by black and silver plastic parts and luggage roofs on the roof. There are minor internal differences: the design of the Speedometer scales, other texture of the seat upholstery, Embroidery Stepway on the backs of the front chairs and rugs. This, apparently, that the driver does not forget what car he rides.

According to factory data, the road clearance differs by 40 mm: Sandero - 155 mm, and in the stewed - 195 mm. The additions reached mainly due to other springs: the Sandero uses a rod with a diameter of 12 mm, and for Sandero Stepway. They took a 13-millimeter. It turned out that the ground clearance in the equipment even a little more declared by the manufacturer: we measured 160 and 198 mm under the protection of the engine, respectively.

Dynamically accelerate on the rolled snow by both cars interferes with ESP.

Well, when reality exceeds expectations. By the way, the stewed clearance in the database is generally 226 mm, and the back is 210 mm. Full off-road indicators! Now we ship the car to full mass and repeat the television with a ruler and transporter. Of course, cars needed noticeably, but they lost a little and approximately the same: lumen under the protection of the engine steps decreased by 23 mm - to 175 mm. The usual Sandero at the same point asked 25 mm to 135 mm. It is already not enough. But 175 mm in loaded under the string of the crossover - great! Not every all-wheel drive boasts such a lumen. According to the suspension, cars are practically no different from each other. Minimally dispersed and corners defining geometric Patency. Transmission numbers in boxes are also identical. Yes, and boxes, in theory, should be absolutely the same. However, we found different control actuators: on Sandero - a burden on Sandero Stepway - a cable. This does not affect driving qualities: both boxes are not happy with ultra-suck and clear shifts. And to fix the difference in the dynamics of overclocking on the garple is impossible. So, according to StepWay measurements - really a crossover. And how will all this manifest on the road and outside it?

103–3

The front seats are based on the upholstery cloth, besides, in the pseudo-stroke on the backs there are inscriptions StepWay.

And here they found a big field

For comparative races, we got on the snow-covered field. The ice crust formed because of the thawed thaws, the snow whose height varied from 150 to 300 mm. Standard Sandero is able to go through the snow depth to 180-200 mm, and Sandero StepWay copes with a snow cover with a thickness of 220-240 mm. It is important to remember that the front bumper Sandero is abnormally fragile: it does not even withstand easy contacts with icing slightly above the mid-snow. Of course, the case and in temperature, which on the day of the dough sank to -20 ºС, but also in cheap plastic too. In general, on this car in the frozen after thawing, the snowdrifts should be extremely careful.

103–1

Sandero Stepway and in this sense is noticeably cross-grazing: its front bumper is clearly better adapted to contact with the fatty snow. As a result, its passability is truly higher than that of the standard hatchback. But there are general claims for machines. Typical example: the car is quite easy to go through the snow; Ahead is a small rise, but the engine suddenly loses momentum, and the car is, respectively. "Pest" - a roughly triggering ESP, to disable which is impossible. Of course, electronics is guarded by security. But the crossover, albeit a monotrifer, an unconnected stabilization system is not an assistant, because it does not allow to go through rough terrain with a small slip. A sudden thrust loss interferes not only in deep snow, but also on wet grass - on any slippery coating! The manufacturer should think about implementing the disabled ESP, the more difficult it is difficult to implement it. Noine, when the car itself kills his positive qualities. And the owners of these cars give the Dedovsky Council. If stuck in a harmless situation, precisely because ESP at the most inappropriate moment has encouraged the motor, remove the appropriate fuse to de-energize the system, and choose the prisoner, Nakhp, with juicy slippers. Just do not forget to insert the fuse in place.

Hold authoritors

Not bad geometric parameters of the PseudoCrossover Sandero Stepway promoted us to the experiment: we tried to improve the passability of the front-wheel drive car and even compare it with all-wheel drive on a similar aggregate base - and therefore it was taken to the landfill and Nissan Terrano. And how low blood improve the permeability? Of course, put the chains! For a set of chains on the front wheels, we gave 4000 rubles. And did not regret! High Sandero Stepway went through the snow-covered field, like a small cheeky tractor. It seems, now he will bury and starts helplessly piss the front wheels, but no - rows!

Osmelev, let the snowway on Snow Tickie along with Terrano. For some time the car comes the nostril in the nostril, but when the snow became noticeably deeper, Nissan convincingly "made" a competitor. No matter how cool, the all-wheel drive terrano has more clearance (205 mm) and four rowing wheels, not two. There are no chains will save. Four-wheel drive is four-wheel drive. But if you only need occasionally, and not every day to overcome snow-covered two hundred and three hundred meters, the chains are noticeably strengthened the possibilities of good front-wheel drive crossover - And even make it comparable with all-wheel drive. We tried to wear on StepWay and bracelets - short circuit segments that are fastened with belt wheels. They are cheaper (kit - from 1000 rubles), they are easier and faster to wear. In one set, four bracelets, that is, two for each wheel.

The tests have shown that in this version, bracelets are noticeably less efficient than chains - the machine is simply buried. A powerful bracelet bursts the hole in which the helpless naked tire fails. It is possible to raise efficiency in an obvious way - bossing two sets and installing four bracelets for each wheel. And further. Adaptations to improve the passability should be put on the wheels in advance, and not when the car is already stuck in a snowdrift. Chains are chosen under the size of the tire. However, today there are many universal models suitable for tires of different dimensions. Finally, it is not recommended to ride with chains faster than 50 km / h.

With snow on ice

Stepway, which looked at the field dough, on roven road Few differences from the usual Sandero. On maneuverability and manageability, cars are almost indistinguishable from each other. True, Stepway on the highway is hardly tougher. Standard Sandero Suspension Confidently grows large irregularities and small snow-icy ripples formed on asphalt after the next snowfall and temperature difference. But it is the little things. Much more significant that Sandero Stepway has positive qualities that have no standard machine. Yes, Sandero Stepway by 42,000 rubles more expensive. There are about a thousand caskov for each additional millimeter of clearance. Expensive? But sometimes these millimeters are so important!

P.S. Crossover can be created different ways. Regarding cost - use passenger components and aggregates in combination with a re-bodied. Excellent example - Renault Duster, built on Loganovskiy units. The second way is substantially easier and cheaper: to give a car off-road look, slightly increase the clearance and slightly upgrade the mechanical stuffing. This is just our case. Do such budgetary front-wheel drives have the right to life? Of course! Especially if the source model is inexpensive and from birth has high clearance - alterations will not be asleep to the heavens. In our opinion, Renault Sandero Stepway and Lada Kalina Cross - ideal examples of successful implementation of such a concept.

After the Sundero success estimated in the French automotive industry, decided to expand the hatchback to compact crossover. This was done, while in the design of the car there were only one change - it is a replacement of suspension, no more. And in addition to this, the crossover entourage was added, the clearance increased, and so it appeared completely new model from France . And on Russian automotive market This SUV has become one of the most popular in short time.

Features of the novelty

Most of the fans and admirers of SUVs have not yet been categorically accepted by the new French model in their ranks, motivating that Renault Sundero Stepway does not have a rear drive system, and therefore this machine will always remain a pvsevdocrossover. At the same time, the company itself stated that the model is positioned as a car with the nature of the SUV. With all this, the clearance does not play a small role, which will be said separately later, because the crossovers value has a ground clearance, on what it will be, you can proceed where the car can drive. At the same time important and specifications, But first things first.

So, to fully and efficiently make a crossover, so to speak, from the ordinary car, you need to raise the body for several mm to increase the road clearance. Many admirers and tuning lovers for this often use specialized spacers, but this method is capable of disturbing the body geometry, the similarity-collapse is disturbed, plus the whole other and mechanics of the entire steering. The car becomes almost unpredictable, chassis has a reduced operational period. Among other things, almost all electronic systems are knocked down, including RSC / ESP / ABS, the company decided to go different ways to the Renault Sundero Stepway car with a higher clearance.

Note that the prototype of our car Renault Sandero Stepway, as a rule, has a classic landing a passenger cardesigned to travel through urban roads with a 155mm existing clearance. Now the new model has a traffic clearance above 20mm, and in this course, it was 175mm.

Especially for this whole designers-developers of the previous version, the springs inside, shock absorbers and certainly rack so that the car not only high-qualityly lifted and obtained the necessary road clearance, but also that the energy intensity fully corresponded competently mass through the body part, its specific height, and the literacy and right go Pendants, it is probably all. The plus has been corrected, there were still some data directly in the electronic system of the entire automatic control.

Increased landing

With high clearance, the Renault Sundero Stepway is significantly increases its permeability, respectively, which is described by the dimensions of several important corners at once:

The value is the angle of the sink - this is the value that means at what kind of an angle the car will be able to call for a special overpass. But if you carry out the calculation, it can be easily determined that with an increase in the machine road Suit By 20mm, and at the same time without changing anything at all, the angle will change on some kind of 1-1.5-degree.

Further, to significantly and effectively increase the angle, the employees of the French company had to raise up the front bumper, respectively, and reduce the distance of the entire front sweep of Renault Sundero Stepway. This is how it was achieved by the magnitude of the angle of the entire front sweep on almost 30 degrees, and already rear - on 35 degrees.

However, the drivers are not every and not every other day you need to go beyond the city to overcome the steep obstacle - the hill. And you have to park many times a day. By existing standards The height of the road border, which protects the sidewalk directly from the main roadway, is approximately 15-16 cm. Parking car Renault Sandero Stepway, with a road clearance 15.5 cm, you can easily break the bumper. However, if your car has a clearance of 17.5 cm, then you can safely park the car. And the same with the arrival of the border. If you hit the curb to the curb to the curb, then it does not constitute that the small angle is so to speak to the ride will help there to call back the back wheels. In such cases, additional 20mm clearance can help.

Even more enlarged landing

In the second version after restyling Renault Sandero Stepway from the 2014 year, the company's main designers went further, and the clearance increased for the same amount, that is, another 20mm. And thus, in the new version, the clearance amounted to 195mm. This is a very weighty and loud application that can bring the car at the height of its landing into the class of full-fledged SUVs in the market is definitely. What another SUV can boast such a lumen.

The process of raising landing car Renault. Sandero Stepway was exactly the same as used on the 1st generation of the machine. The racks of the shock absorbers themselves were elongated, plus the springs, the calculated all data is changed specifically for the ECU.
Among other things, thanks to high landing and significantly advanced wheel arches, and now the wheels 205/55 R 16 are installed on the model with conventional 16-inch discs.

Immediately, we note that the enlarged is a bit width and the increased diameter helps to improve the grip with the road surface, and at times they increase the permeability. However, this is again an additional load on the power plant. But the "Frenchman" engineers did not think about providing an upgraded engine, or at least shoot capacity limitations from all the represented standard motors.
We also note that the height of the lumen in 19.5cm is indicated for the entirely loaded car, but if the driver in the car is alone during the trip, then the landing will be even higher.

Let's summarize

The owners of the Renault Sandero Stepway car, the potential or real, are often experienced that the model with a lifting of its body loses its stability, and on the turns of even small, the roll rises. Exactly such actual questions were asked by the autocontstructors of the model. And therefore, the steadfast of his body was developers somewhat narrowed, but it was decided that his original wheelbase was left. So, the center of gravity began to concentrate in the center of the car. In the configuration, Privilege SUV is equipped with such security options as:

• - RSC - if the automation feels the car roll, starts to reduce speed power plant, includes an anti-lock system specifically for braking in order to prevent the coup of the car;
• - ESP - This system automatically changes the torque on each wheel, which helps to prevent drum on the track.

Such a high landing did not turn the steps into a full-fledged SUV, but the owners helps to use it explicit and unique advantages.

Due to the fact that Renault Sandero began to enjoy great popularity, the manufacturer decided to upgrade this model And make it close to the crossover. Thus, it was decided to refine the suspension, thereby added a little off-road entourage, making this model even more popular in the Russian market.

Despite all the revisions, thanks to which Renault Sandero's ground clearance was increased, some motorists did not accept this model, explaining that it was not the rear drive that was unacceptable for a full-fledged SUV. However, the manufacturer initially positioned Stepway as a machine with off-road qualities.

Many in order for the usual car to make a similar crossover, lift the body. For such purposes, special spacers use. But because of this, the body geometry changes, which leads to a violation of the collapse of the convergence and steering. These all changes lead to the fact that the car management becomes unpredictable, while reducing the service life of the suspension. It also disturbs the work of such electronic systems as ESP, ABS, RSC. Therefore, to avoid these negative consequences, Renault engineers was decided to finalize the suspension in such a way as to avoid all these problems.

In order to increase the ground clearance on Renault Sandero, the ground clearance was increased by recalculating the racks, springs and shock absorbers so that the body raised, and the height corresponded to its energy intensity, the mass, and the suspension move was optimal. Also in the electronic control system of the car, minor adjustments were made.

Height

Thanks to the increased clearance, the permeability increases by increasing the corners of the bodice of the body, which indicates the angle of inclination as a car can easily enter the overpass. STEPWAY engineers were able to increase this rear sweep parameter to 35 degrees, and in front of 30 degrees. This all led to the fact that the lumen increased to 17.5 and 19.5 centimeters depending on the year of release, at such an altitude can not be afraid during parking to hook a border whose height is about 16 centimeters.

Released after 2014 Renault Sundero Stepway Clearance Road clearance was increased, as well as up to 19.5 centimeters, which practically brought this car in one class of SUVs. It was achieved in the expense of extension of springs and racks of depreciation and changes to the ECU.

Due to the increased diameter and width, the adhesion from the soil is improved by improving the permeability. You should know that the declared clearance in 19.5 centimeters is the accounting of a fully loaded car, so the landing is in good condition even higher.

Output

Summing up It can be concluded that despite the essence of the body and increasing the road lumen the wheelbase remained the same, and the center of gravity has become even more concentrated that in the aggregate as it did not affect the stability and raising the roll on turns. In addition, the car was equipped with additional RSC and ESP options.

Of course, Stepway did not become a full-fledged SUV, however, compared with previous models, she had a number of advantages, thanks to which his permeability became even better.

In 2012, at the Motor Show in Paris was presented a new version Five-door Hatchback Renauln Sandero Stepway, originally produced for the European market in Romania. From February 2013, the car goes on sale and to Russia and is made to AvtoVAZ.

Renault company delivered a car to the class of SUVs, so it does not have elements of luxury, but is practical, reliable and inexpensive. Nevertheless, externally sandero does not look cheap, quite elegant and modern for the release of his year.

Body

As it should be a crossover, Renault has an increased road clearance of 186 mm. This makes it possible to eat a steadfast on the browch, go with them and calmly overcome the pit and lying policemen. The previous model had a clearance of only 17.5 cm. Increased lumen increases the permeability of the car.

Main dimensions Sandero Stepway:

• wheel base - 258.8 cm;
• body height - 155.0 cm;
• length - 402.4 cm;
• width - 145.3 cm.

Despite the high clearance to sit in this car Reno conveniently, both the driver and passengers.

If necessary, the clearance can be slightly increased by installing spacers. But high lumen makes a car less manageable.

Sandero Stepway Body is fully protected from corrosion galvanized and has a six-year warranty.

Salon

Salon Renault Sandero Ascetic. Suffice to say that the doors in basic configuration Opened in the old manner with a regular key, and at the refueling from the car will have to go out to unscrew the gas tank cover. But the front side windows are equipped with electric shifters.

In the basic configuration, the interior is equipped with air conditioning and heaters of the front seats. Car radio and mp3 is installed as desired.

Height seats are not regulated. Rear seats Stepway in any configuration are equipped with head restraints and seat belts. Frontal airbags are installed only for the driver and passenger in the front. For the rest you need to pay extra. Salon's cover is made of inexpensively black plastic.

Renault Sander Stepway trunk has a capacity of 320 liters, but up to 1,200 liters increased with the rear armchairs.

Silence block and transmission

Sandero Stepway is equipped with one of two petrol engines 1.6 liter volume, power 84 or 103 horsepower With eight or 16 valves.

The first consumes 6.1 liters of gasoline on the highway and 10.2 liters in the city, the second, respectively, 5.9 and 9.5 liters. Maximum speedAvailable for Sandero Stepway - 163 and 162 km / h.

Both engines have a system fuel nutrition from electronically control and distributed injection. Norms toxicity exhaust gases correspond euro 4.

In the 2012 configuration, the SanSero Stepway equipment is provided by a four-step automatic box or 5-speed mechanical.

The box automaton is installed only in a set with a 16-valve motor. By purchasing a car with a machine gun, you need to understand that it will be more difficult to go on overtaking. Achieve a speed of 100 km / h Machine with an automatic machine can be for 11.7 sec. Otherwise, the automatic box has decent characteristics and perfectly manages the shift. Driving a car with an automatic machine more convenient.

Brakes system

Renault Sandero Stepway is equipped with a two-door brake system with independent wheel connections diagonally. This allows you to take advantage of the brake, even if one of the contours fell out. Each contour has a separate pressure regulator for rear wheels. The system is equipped with a vacuum amplifier. Front brakes disc with automatic gap adjustment between pads and discs. Rear brakes Equipped with a drum mechanism.

To improve braking safety, the car is equipped with anti-lock aBS system in any configuration. Technical characteristics of Renault Sandero ensure the reliability of braking under the compliance with the regulations and timely shift brake fluid The class is not lower than DOT-4.

Also Stepway has parking brake (handbrake) with cable drive.

Steering

For ease of control, Renault Sandero is equipped with a power steering power engineer. The steering column is adjusted vertically. Steering Rache with the mechanism of the "Rake gear" and a steering wheel adjustment device.

With a power failure, management RENAULT STEPWAY. Saved, but for turning the steering wheel will have to apply an additional force.

Suspension

Technical characteristics of the Renault suspension always on high level. The Sandero Stepway uses an independent front suspension type MacPherson with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and springs.

Rear suspension Spring semi-dependent with elastic H-shaped beam and telescopic gas shock absorbers. The corners of the rear wheels are not regulated and must comply:

• the angle of breaking -0 ° 51 '± 15';
• an angle of convergence + 0 ° 44 '± 15'.

Summarizing

Despite the fact that Renault Sandero Stepway is relatively inexpensive, it has quite sufficient technical characteristics to move on off-road and on city streets. High clearance, corresponding dimensions, automatic box allow you to use crossover Renault. Not only for moving from work and to work, but also for comfortable travels in the company, fishing, hunting or picnic.

Determine how much Renault Sundero Stepwe will stand in 2012, you can direct the catalogs of online stores. The price depends on the state and characteristics. Also in the catalogs you can find out how much the most running spare parts for the car are. Perhaps it is necessary to acquire spare parts that were in use, they will be cheaper. Collect yourself road set In case of unforeseen breakdown.
