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 an automatic machine, it is a 4-ex 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 column music control joystick is also convenient (I don’t know why many scold him).

What I liked about the car was relative high cross-country ability even on regular rubber Continental (I got stuck only on the clay after the rain - it licked and wound up the clay and clogged the fenders), but 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.

I immediately drew attention to complete absence heat / sound insulation of a 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 wheel arches and the clatter of thorns.

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 one 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 tinned bodies, which 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 (climbed into loose village snow, and into a forest with deep puddles up to the rapids after rain), but all-wheel drive lacks.

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 car is short, almost like a cornfield, so with speed mode I advise motorists to be careful.

There is not enough heating in the maximum speed 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).
For the trunk in basic trim levels there are not enough nets (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 a 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 on 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 insulation and a 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, the 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


Based on the universal B0 platform. In the arsenal of the model there are three 1.6-liter engines: an 8-valve K7M with a return of 82 hp, a 16-valve K4M with an output of 102 hp. and 16-valve H4M 113 hp. There are also three available gearboxes: 5-speed "mechanics", 5-speed "robot" and 4-band "automatic" DP2. Mechanical and robotic boxes rely on the "younger" 82-horsepower engine, the same manual gearbox and 4АКПП are installed together with a 102-horsepower unit. The new 113-horsepower engine is offered only with "mechanics". In general, in terms of technical characteristics, Renault Sandero Stepway is very close to the base hatchback Sandero and a sedan, as well as some other soplatform models Renault and Nissan. You can distinguish the off-road version of Sandero from the usual one by the following features:

  • 195 mm ground clearance(+40 mm);
  • body length and height increased to 4080 and 1618 mm, respectively;
  • 16-inch wheel rims with tires 205/55 R16 (Sandero has 15-inch wheels and tires 185/65 R15);
  • tougher suspension settings and a different anti-roll bar;
  • protective plastic pads along the entire perimeter of the body.

The fuel consumption of Renault Sandero Stepway 2 is approximately the same for all modifications - 6.9-7.3 liters per 100 km. Only the version with the “automatic” stands out from the general range, consuming an average of about 8.5 liters.

The trunk volume of the hatchback with the vertical position of the backs of all seats is 320 liters. Folded seats in the second row increase the roominess cargo compartment up to 1200 liters.

On the left are: flywheel; position sensor crankshaft; thermostat; thermostat housing with coolant temperature sensor.
Coils and spark plugs are located on top; oil filler neck; receiver with absolute pressure and intake air temperature sensors, throttle assembly with throttle position sensor.
In the lower part of the cylinder block there are five crankshaft main bearing supports with removable covers, which are attached to the block with special bolts. The holes in the cylinder block for the bearings are machined with the covers installed, therefore the covers are not interchangeable and are marked on the outer surface to distinguish them (covers are counted from the flywheel side). On the end surfaces of the middle support, there are sockets for thrust half rings that prevent axial movement of the crankshaft. The liners of the main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft are steel, thin-walled, with an anti-friction coating applied to the working surfaces of the liners. Crankshaft with five main journals and four connecting rod journals. The shaft is equipped with four counterweights cast integrally with the shaft. To supply oil from the main journals to the connecting rods, channels are made in the journals and cheeks of the shaft. At the front end (toe) of the crankshaft are installed: an oil pump drive sprocket, a timing gear (timing) drive pulley and an accessory drive pulley. The toothed pulley is fixed to the shaft by a protrusion that fits into a groove on the toe of the crankshaft.
Similarly, it is fixed on the shaft and the accessory drive pulley.
The crankshaft is sealed by two oil seals, one of which (from the timing drive side) is pressed into the cylinder block cover, and the other (from the flywheel side) into the socket formed by the surfaces of the cylinder block and the main bearing cover. A flywheel is attached to the crankshaft flange with seven bolts. It is cast from cast iron and has a pressed-on steel ring for starting the engine with a starter. In addition, a ring gear for the crankshaft position sensor is provided on the flywheel.
Connecting rods - forged steel, I-section, machined with caps. The covers are attached to the connecting rods with special bolts and nuts. With their lower (crank) heads, the connecting rods are connected through liners with the connecting rod journals of the crankshaft, and the upper heads are connected through piston pins with pistons.
Piston pins - steel, tubular. The pin pressed into the upper connecting rod head rotates freely in the piston bosses. The pistons are made of aluminum alloy. The piston skirt has a complex shape: in the longitudinal section it is barrel-shaped, and in the transverse section it is oval. In the upper part of the piston, there are three grooves for the piston rings. Top two piston rings compression, and the bottom - oil scraper.


Cylinder head:
1 – intake valves;
2 - exhaust valves

The cylinder head is a cast aluminum alloy, common to all four cylinders. The cylinder head is centered on the block with two bushings and secured with ten screws. A non-shrinkable metal gasket is installed between the block and the head. On opposite sides of the cylinder head are intake and exhaust ports. Spark plugs are located in the center of each combustion chamber.
The valves are steel, in the cylinder head are located in two rows, V-shaped, two intake and two exhaust valves for each cylinder. The inlet valve disc is larger than the outlet valve. The valve seats and guides are pressed into the cylinder head. On top of the valve guides, the valve stem seals are put on. The valve is closed by a spring. With its lower end, it rests on a washer, and with its upper end, on a plate, which is held by two crackers. The folded crackers on the outside have the shape of a truncated cone, and from the inside they are equipped with persistent collars that go into the groove on the valve stem. There are two camshafts at the top of the cylinder head. One shaft drives the intake valves of the timing mechanism, and the other drives the exhaust valves.


Cams are pressed onto the camshaft

Eight cams are made on each shaft - an adjacent pair of cams simultaneously controls the valves (intake or exhaust) of each cylinder. Design feature camshaft is that the cams are pressed onto the tubular shaft.
Supports (beds) of the camshafts (six supports for each shaft) are split - located in the cylinder head and in the head cover.


Camshaft with toothed pulley and oil seal

The camshafts are driven by a toothed belt from the crankshaft pulley. A thrust flange is made on the shaft next to the first (counting from the camshaft toothed pulley) support neck, which, when assembled, enters the grooves of the block head and cover, thereby preventing axial movement of the shaft. The camshaft pulley is not fixed on the shaft with a key or pin, but only due to the friction forces that arise on the end surfaces of the pulley and shaft when tightening the pulley nut.
The toe of the camshaft is sealed with an oil seal put on the first journal of the shaft and pressed into the socket formed by the surfaces of the cylinder head and the head cover.


Valve lever

The valves are driven from the camshaft cams through the valve levers.
To increase the life of the camshaft and valve levers, the cam of the shaft acts on the lever through a roller rotating on the lever shaft.


Valve lever hydraulic support

The hydraulic supports of the valve levers are installed in the sockets of the cylinder head. A hydraulic compensator with a ball check valve is installed inside the hydraulic support housing.
Oil inside the hydraulic support comes from a line in the cylinder head through a hole in the hydraulic support housing. The hydraulic support automatically provides backlash-free contact between the camshaft cam and the valve lever roller, compensating for wear on the cam, lever, valve stem end, seat chamfers and valve disc.


At one end, the lever rests on the spherical head of the hydraulic support (hydraulic clearance compensator), and at the other end it acts on the end of the valve stem


Engine lubrication - combined. Under pressure, the oil is supplied to the main and connecting rod bearings crankshaft, camshaft bearings and valve arm hydraulic supports. Other engine components are spray lubricated.


Oil pump:
1 - driven sprocket of the drive;
2 - pump casing;
3 - pump casing cover with oil receiver

The pressure in the lubrication system is generated by a gear oil pump located in the oil pan and attached to the cylinder block.


Drive unit oil pump (oil pan removed):
1 - accessory drive pulley;
2 - the front cover of the cylinder block;
3 - the leading sprocket of the pump drive;
4 - drive chain;
5 - oil pump;
6 - crankshaft;
7 - the block of cylinders

The oil pump is driven by a chain drive from the crankshaft. The drive sprocket of the pump drive is mounted on the crankshaft under the front cover of the cylinder block. A cylindrical belt is made on the sprocket, along which the front crankshaft oil seal works. The sprocket is installed on the crankshaft without interference and is not secured with a key. When assembling the engine, the drive sprocket of the pump drive is clamped between the timing pulley and the crankshaft shoulder as a result of tightening the package of parts with the bolt securing the accessory drive pulley.
The torque from the crankshaft is transmitted to the sprocket only due to the frictional forces between the end surfaces of the sprocket, toothed pulley and crankshaft. When loosening the fastening bolt of the accessory drive pulley, the drive sprocket of the oil pump drive may begin to turn on the crankshaft and the oil pressure in the engine will fall... The oil receiver is made in one piece with the cover of the oil pump housing. The cover is fastened with five screws to the pump casing. Pressure reducing valve located in the pump casing cover and kept from falling out by a spring clip. The oil from the pump passes through the oil filter and enters the main oil line of the cylinder block. Oil filter- full-flow, non-separable.
From the main line, oil flows to the main bearings of the crankshaft and further, through the channels in the crankshaft, to the connecting rod bearings of the shaft.
Through two vertical channels in the cylinder block, oil from the main line is supplied to the cylinder head - to the extreme (left) supports (bearings) of the camshafts. Through the grooves and drills in the outer bearing journals of the camshafts, oil flows into the shafts and then through the drills in the other journals to the rest of the camshaft bearings. From the cylinder head, oil flows through vertical channels into the oil sump.
The crankcase ventilation system is closed, forced, with gas extraction through an oil separator (in the cylinder head cover), which cleans the crankcase gases from oil particles. Gases from the bottom of the crankcase enter through internal channels in the cylinder head into the head cover and then enter the receiver and the intake manifold of the engine. The control, power supply, cooling and exhaust systems are described in the respective chapters.

Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 8V

Year of issue: 2011

Engine: 1.6

Summer 2011, the manager calls from the Avtoprodix salon in St. Petersburg, says he found a refusenik in another salon, lucky, so I would have waited for the car until about December. Bought in the end from a dealer "Petrovsky", took it to Petrogradka, drove through traffic jams until I got home, delight, joy))) the first car, but worked a lot, and just drove different cars... Basically I will compare with the 9th Lancer.

I will say the first thing that I noticed - it is of course the suspension, much softer than that of the Japanese, but clearly weaker when cornering, rolls heavily, dumb ... but for our roads, comfort on bumps is better than a sporty character)) up to 3000 km), the engine was stupid when the air conditioner was on, but for a car with 84 hp. it is forgivable, because only from 120 hp. the air conditioner ceases to be a burden for the engine ... everything in the car suits, the only thing that does not cease to strain on the highway is still a noisy engine and short gears, and for the city, I think, short gears are preferable, since the 3rd pulls calmly even from 20 km / h, no need to make unnecessary switches. For the track, they could of course make the 5th and longer. but this is a separate opinion ... More on that later ..

Departure a year, out of breakdowns: the light bulb stopped burning parking brake on the dashboard, somewhere in the handbrake itself, contact disappeared ... further, for some time on the right passenger doors, when the doors were opened from the inside, the lock opening handles did not go back to their original position, you had to press them manually, but after a while everything has become normal, something has been rattled or something ...

The first MOT was carried out a year later, the mileage at that moment was 12,500 km, I went to Metallostroy, to the Petrovsky salon, everything was done in about 1.5-2 hours, paid 6400 rubles, the staff was polite, everything was fine, the only master said that they changed the oil and fuel filters, as well as oil and candles, and that we give you all the old parts, but did not find oil filter, this moment remained a mystery to me, did not change or dispose of it yourself ??? In general, the handle bulb malfunction was fixed. All right))

I drive on, the other day in Murmansk I decided to accelerate the car to the maximum, we were driving together, so the car was not very heavy, I was able to bring the speedometer needle to 155 km / h, then they interfered ... but it felt like it would have accelerated to 160 and everything, the engine roars at 5000 rpm or a little less, it would be interesting to know what the difference is with 16kl. motor ...

Bottom line: car for quiet ride, the city is 60-80 km / h, you are comfortable driving, the highway is 90-110 km / h, the engine makes a lot of noise faster, it gets boring, honestly ... For the money, the car is worthy, not everyone likes it, it's understandable, someone will buy the same Fabia or Solaris ... in taste and color ... But 100% is much better in all respects than basins ...

Consumption - city 9-10 liters per 100 km, if you do not heat, 7 liters track at a speed of 90-110 km / h

By the way, once I did a small test drive off-road: Well, firstly, I was pleasantly surprised by the ground clearance, I was afraid to tear off the bumper in some places, but if I was not sure, I went out and looked from the side, whether I would hook it, only then I continued to move, in As a result, I never caught anything, tried to drive into a small hill, about 35-40 degrees - the earth, pits and tree roots, did not master, at the end of the ascent the front wheels skidded, there was not enough all-wheel drive, I had to take a detour)))

In general, whoever likes the car, buy it boldly, leave for 5 years, Logan has already proven himself, and it is better to buy Stepway, especially since it is now with a gun!

When I ordered a new Sandero for myself, the manager in Petrovsky sent the order to the head office, then we drove on the new Logan and during the execution of the preliminary contract he received a call from Renault Russia with the news. The news was expressed in the fact that the specification of the machines (letters in the code) was changed. Specifically, what happened, he found out only after 2-3 weeks and called me back. The essence of the changes: new engine, 113 hp He didn’t tell me anything specific, tk.

Did not know. Well, now this news has appeared on the Internet.

Here I sit and let drool. The price should increase by 15,000 rubles, and my Sanerik according to the configurator - 708,960 rubles.

Here is a quote from one site:

IN motor range Renault Logan, Sandero and Sandero Stepway replenishment - 16-valve is now available for these models Gas engine a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 113 hp. Only a five-stage is offered in a pair to it mechanical box gear. The declared fuel consumption is 6.6 liters. It has not yet been announced when the new items will go on sale.

The HR16 engine, new for the line of French "state employees", was developed by the Alliance specialists, and its production was established at the facilities of AVTOVAZ in Togliatti.

According to another site, we learn that this engine is removed from the Lada Xray:

According to Kolesa.ru, dealers received an information letter from AVTOVAZ, in which the manufacturer warned about the termination of the production of 110-strong modifications Lada xray.

It is assumed that with the departure of the Lada Xray with the Nissan HR16 engine, the list of trim levels with a VAZ 16-valve with a capacity of 106 hp will be expanded, in particular, the Top and additional packages options.

For what reason the company decided to abandon the installation of HR16 on the Lada Xray is unknown.

It is not yet known from what date dealers will stop accepting orders for 110-horsepower modifications. According to the press service of AVTOVAZ, today the model with the HR16 engine remains on the assembly line.

Googling, we find data for this motor:

The Renault-Nissan H4M-HR16DE engine is an evolution of the renowned K4M, in the Nissan lineup it replaced the QG16DE. The motor is not bad, it is not demanding for gasoline, with the recommended 95th, you can pour 92. The timing system uses a chain, here it is quite reliable and its early stretching will not bother you. There is a variable valve timing system, a phase shifter is installed on the intake shaft, an electronic throttle, but the valve clearances on the HR16DE need to be adjusted, there are no hydraulic lifters. The gaps are regulated by the selection of the pusher, approximately every 80-100 thousand km. Noise and knocking of the engine is the main sign of an early trip to the adjustment.

This motor has undergone modernization, have been changed camshafts, two injectors are now installed for each cylinder, fuel economy has increased, power has slightly increased, idle speed, the motor began to fulfill the requirements of Euro 5 and other, less significant, conversions.

Let's talk about malfunctions and ways to repair them on HR16DE-Н4М.

1. Whistle of the engine. As with many Nissan engines, this whistle is nothing more than the sound of a generator belt, the problem is solved by tightening it, but if there is nowhere to pull, then replacing the belt.

2. The engine stalls. Here the problem is in the relay of the ignition unit; for this malfunction, Nissan recalled a batch of cars. With this malfunction, you risk stalling in the middle of the road and not the fact that you will start. The problem is solved by ordering a new relay for the ignition unit.

3. Burnout of the exhaust pipe ring. Symptoms: A more evil sound is heard at medium revs during acceleration.

4. Vibration of the engine. Usually, this is a symptom of the impending demise of the HR16DE-H4M right engine mount. Replacement will resolve all issues.

In addition, the HR16DE-H4M motor does not start well and stalls in severe frost(from -15 C), you can change the candles, start with gas, this will correct the situation a little, but in general, this is such an unpleasant feature of the engine.

On the CVT variator jolts are felt when switching.

To summarize, HR16DE-H4M is quite an ordinary engine in its class, not worse, but not better than analogues, a kind of reduced version of MR20DE. Should I take a car with such a motor? If you are a calm person and it's not for you to drive, of course it's worth it, otherwise look at more powerful engines.
