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 that the specification of the machines was changed (letters in the code). Specifically, what happened, he found out only after 2-3 weeks and called me back. The essence of the changes: a 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 my 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:
The Renault Logan, Sandero and Sandero Stepway engine range has been replenished - now a 16-valve gasoline engine with 1.6 liters and 113 hp is available for these models. Only a five-speed manual transmission is offered as a pair to it. 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 has been adjusted at AVTOVAZ facilities 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 production of 110-strong modifications of Lada Xray.
It is assumed that with the departure of the Lada Xray with the Nissan HR16 engine, the list of trim levels with the VAZ 16-valve with a capacity of 106 hp will be expanded, in particular, the Top version and additional option packages will appear.
For what reason the company decided to abandon the installation of HR16 on Lada Xray is unknown.
It is not yet known from what date dealers will stop accepting orders for 110-strong 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, replacing the QG16DE in the Nissan range. 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 system for changing the valve timing, the phase shifter is installed on the intake shaft, an electronic throttle valve is used, but the valve clearances on the HR16DE need to be adjusted, there are no hydraulic lifters. The gaps are adjusted by selecting a pusher, approximately every 80-100 thousand km. Noise and knocking of the engine is the main sign of an imminent ride for adjustment.
This engine has undergone modernization, the camshafts have been changed, two injectors are now installed on each cylinder, fuel economy has increased, power has increased slightly, idle speed has decreased, the engine has begun to comply with Euro 5 requirements and other, less significant, transformations.
Let's talk about malfunctions and ways to repair them on HR16DE-Н4М.
1. Engine whistle. As with many Nissan engines, this whistle is nothing more than the sound of a generator belt, the problem is solved by tightening it, 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 engine does not start well and stalls in severe frost (from -15 C), you can change the candles, start with gas, this will slightly correct the situation, but in general, this is such an unpleasant feature of the engine.
There are jolts on the CVT when shifting.
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.

The Renault Sandero Stepwey model belongs to off-road vehicles with extended ground clearance, but in the engine part it completely repeats the standard Renault Sandero hatchback. Basically, under the hood of Sandero Stepwey, there are 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline units, it remains only to determine the best for yourself.
Renault LoganSandero 1.4 l K7J 710 engine
The Renault Logan 1.4L K7J 710 engine for Sandero is an evolved ExJ engine created in the 80s. The design of the unit can be called strange and outdated due to the use of a timing rocker and an oil pump drive system from 60s single-shaft motors.
Despite a certain archaism, with proper operation and timely maintenance, the K7J 710 engine is quite reliable and its declared resource is 400 thousand kilometers.
Cars with a Renault Logan 1.4 l K7J 710 engine are quite popular with taxi drivers, which speaks of its endurance. However, for fans of aggressive driving, such a unit will not work.
The disadvantages of the Renault Logan 1.4 L K7J 710 include high fuel consumption. Floating idle speed, lack of hydraulic compensator, timing belt drive bends the valves in case of breakage. Crankshaft leaks are common.
Despite the instructions in the instructions, for a successful start, you need to let the motor run for a few minutes to warm up the oil.
Motorists noted the unstable operation of the power unit, or situations when the engine stalls. The reason may be air congestion in the cooling system, clogged filter mesh of the fuel pump, malfunction of the crankshaft position sensor or ignition coil.
Engine overheating is due to a malfunctioning thermostat, water pump, or debris in the cooling system.
Noise and knocking in the engine appears when the valve clearances are not adjusted, as well as problems with the main and connecting rod bearings.
Engine vibration appears when the cushion is worn, crankshaft imbalance, different compression in the cylinders and loosening of the crankshaft pulley.
Motor triplet occurs when low-quality fuel or problems with the ignition coil.
Tuning is not recommended for the Renault Logan 1.4 L K7J 710 engine, as you can lose reliability, and the dynamics will not increase.
Renault K7M 710/800 1.6 8V engine
From the K7J 710 engine, the K7M 710 1.6 liter engine is distinguished by an increased piston stroke of up to 80.5 mm, an increased block height, a larger clutch diameter, an enlarged flywheel and a different crankcase shape. At the same time, the design of the K7M 710 is as outdated and strange as that of the above-described K7J 710. The engine resource, indicated in the manual as 400 thousand kilometers, in practice turns out to be large, but subject to careful driving and frequent oil changes.
In 2010, the engine was slightly strangled to the Euro4 eco-standards, which reduced the power to 83 hp. and changed the name to K7M 800.
Speaking of shortcomings, they completely repeat the mistakes and malfunctions of the K7J 710 engine model: lack of fuel economy, floating idle rpm, no hydraulic lifters, bending valves when the timing belt breaks, crankshaft oil seal leaks, vibrations and loud operation.
But if you have to choose between the K7J 710 1.4 and K7M 710/800 1.6, then it is better to opt for an engine with a large displacement.
When tuning, you can slightly increase the power of the car, but the engine will start to consume even more fuel.
Renault K4M 1.6 liter engine. 16 valves
Engine K4M 1.6 l. 16 valves is not new, but Renault uses it on various of its models. This is an evolved K7M unit, but with a new 16-valve cylinder head. Also, this motor is distinguished by a head with two lightweight camshafts, modified pistons, the presence of hydraulic lifters and others. K4M engines can be equipped with phase regulators, the compression ratio varies between 9.5 and 10, and the firmware can change the power of the car. There is also a version of the 1.6-liter K4M KS engine with wide shafts and sawed channels, producing 135 "horses" of power.
The disadvantages of the K4M 1.6 l include the high price of parts, bent valves when the timing belt breaks, engine failures and floating speed. Motor triplet occurs when the ignition coil, injectors or spark plugs are faulty.
But when compared with an 8-valve unit, then the K4M 1.6 l. 16 valves quieter, more economical and vibration-free.

Fully electric van version ID. Buzz is predicted by 2022. In the meantime, the conversation is about intermediate models of vans from Volkswagen.
First of all, we are talking about the T6 truck. It will be followed by the Volkswagen T7 van by 2021. It will be radically different from its predecessor. This applies not only to the appearance, but also to the technical characteristics.
The German concern says that driving performance, handling and, most importantly, carrying capacity will be improved. In addition, all European environmental standards will be met.
The Volkswagen T7 will be presented on the market with traditional gasoline and diesel engines. In addition, a hybrid version will appear. It can be seen as a transitional stage to electrical ID. Buzz.
It is also worth noting that the VW T7 will feature autopilot elements. This is important for the quality of vehicle handling. The T7 should be equally good for transporting people as well as for heavy cargo work.
Even low-level car enthusiasts can notice the large amount of masking tape in the front of the car.
The purpose of its overlay is to hide the features of the redesigned bonnet, improved laser headlights, the design of which includes a graph of LED daytime running lights. The grille appears to be slightly enlarged from the previous version, and the front bumper has also undergone a modification process that includes new versions of the air intakes and an updated lower grille.
The situation is approximately the same from behind. The changes made are not too significant, but the presence of camouflage indicates some changes in the appearance of the rear lights. In fact, camouflage covers almost the entire rear bumper, which could mean a complete redesign of the diffuser and overall layout. The appearance of the exhaust pipes has not changed compared to the current M5 trim level.

The K7J and K7M engines are identical in design and differ only in displacement. The K7J engine has a displacement of 1.4 liters and the K7M engine has 1.6 liters. The increase in the working volume is obtained due to the larger radius of the crankshaft crank and, consequently, the larger piston stroke.
Both engines are petrol, four-stroke, four-cylinder, in-line, eight-valve, with an overhead camshaft.
Warning: The order of operation of the cylinders: 1-3-4-2, counting from the flywheel.

The engine block is cast from cast iron, the cylinders are bored directly in the block.
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, sockets are made 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. Crankshaft with five main journals and four connecting rod journals. The shaft is equipped with four counterweights, cast in one piece. Counterweights are made on the continuation of the "cheeks" of the engine crankshaft. Counterweights are designed to balance the forces and moments of inertia arising from the movement of the crank mechanism during engine operation. To supply oil from the main journals to the connecting rod, 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 auxiliary drive pulley. The toothed pulley is fixed to the shaft by a protrusion that fits into the groove on the crankshaft nose and prevents the pulley from turning. Similarly, it is fixed on the shaft and the accessory drive pulley.

The piston is made of aluminum alloy. The piston skirt has a complex shape: in the longitudinal section it is barrel-shaped, in the transverse section it is oval. In the upper part of the piston, there are three grooves for the piston rings. The two upper piston rings are compression rings and the lower one is oil scraper. Compression rings prevent gases from escaping from the cylinder into the crankcase and help transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder.
An oil scraper ring removes excess oil from the cylinder walls during piston movement.

9 - a camshaft pulley;
10 - valve rocker;
11 - bolt of fastening of an axis of rocker arms of valves;
12 - the axis of the rocker arms;
13 - thrust flange of the camshaft
The cylinder head is an aluminum alloy, common to all four cylinders. It 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. At the top of the cylinder head are five camshaft bearings (bearings). The supports are made one-piece, and the camshaft is inserted into them from the timing drive side. The camshaft is driven by a toothed belt from the crankshaft.
A groove is made in the extreme bearing journal of the camshaft (from the flywheel side), into which a thrust flange enters, which prevents axial movement of the shaft. The thrust flange is attached to the camshaft cylinder head with five bolts attached to the valve rocker shaft. The rocker arms are kept from shifting along the axis by two brackets, which are fastened with the rocker arm axis bolts. Screws are screwed into the rocker arms, which serve to adjust the thermal clearances in the valve drive. The adjusting screws are secured against loosening with locknuts. The valve seats and guides are pressed into the cylinder head.
On top of the valve guides, there are valve stem seals. Steel valves, arranged in two rows, inclined to the plane passing through the cylinder axes. In front (in the direction of the vehicle) there is a row of exhaust valves, and in the back there is a row of intake valves. The intake valve disc is larger than the exhaust valve.
The valve is opened by a rocker, one end of which rests on the camshaft cam, and the other, through an adjusting screw, on the end of the valve stem. 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 on the inside they are equipped with stop collars that enter the groove on the valve stem.
Oil pump drive (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 - cylinder block
Engine lubrication is combined. The main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft and the camshaft bearings are lubricated under pressure. Other engine components are spray lubricated. The pressure in the lubrication system is generated by a gear oil pump located at the front in the oil pan and attached to the cylinder block. The oil pump is driven by a chain drive from the crankshaft.
Oil pump:
1 - driven drive sprocket;
2 - pump casing;
3 - pump casing cover with oil receiver
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 fixed with a key. When assembling the engine, the pump drive drive sprocket is clamped between the timing gear pulley and the crankshaft shoulder as a result of tightening the package of parts with the accessory drive pulley mounting bolt. 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.
Warning: When loosening the bolt fastening 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 drop.
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.
The pressure reducing valve is located in the pump casing cover and is kept from falling out by a spring clip.
The oil from the pump passes through the oil filter and enters the oil line in the cylinder block. The oil filter is full-flow, non-separable. From the line, the oil goes to the main bearings of the crankshaft and further, through the channels in the crankshaft, to the connecting rod bearings. Through a vertical channel in the cylinder block, oil from the line is supplied to the cylinder head - to the middle support of the camshaft. An annular groove is made in the middle bearing journal of the camshaft, along which the oil flows to the hollow bolt of the rocker arm shaft. Further, the oil, through a hollow bolt, enters the channel made in the rocker arm axle, and from there - to the rocker arms and through other hollow axle bolts - to the rest of the camshaft bearings.
The rocker arms have holes through which oil is sprayed onto the camshaft cams.
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 lower part of the crankcase pass through the internal channels in the cylinder head into the head cover and then through two hoses (the main circuit and the idle circuit) enter the engine intake manifold. Through the hose of the main circuit, blow-by gases are discharged at partial and full loads into the space in front of the throttle valve.
Through the idle circuit hose, crankcase gases are discharged into the space behind the throttle valve both at partial and full load modes, and at idle mode.
The control, supply, cooling and exhaust systems are described in the respective chapters.
Based on the universal B0 platform. In the arsenal of the model there are three 1.6-liter engines: an 8-valve K7M with 82 hp, a 16-valve K4M with 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 gearboxes 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, the Renault Sandero Stepway is very close to the base Sandero hatchback and sedan, as well as some other soplatform models of 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 wheels with 205/55 R16 tires (Sandero has 15-inch wheels and 185/65 R15 tires);
- tighter suspension settings and a different anti-roll bar;
- protective plastic pads around the entire perimeter of the body.
The fuel consumption of Renault Sandero Stepway 2 for all modifications is approximately the same - 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. The folded seats in the second row increase the cargo hold up to 1200 liters.
Full technical characteristics of Renault Sandero Stepway are summarized in the table:

A lot of time has passed since the release of reno sandero stepway. It is noteworthy that this car has taken root well in Russia. Even the first editions were pleased with the strength and reliability of the mechanisms. However, how many people, so many opinions: some people like the model, and some have found many disadvantages in the new modification. So what do Russian motorists say?
Majority opinion
The car is positioned as an excellent alternative to domestic models. Renault Sandero of the Stepway modification is inexpensive, it has all the necessary options: a sliding blocking system, power windows, heating, air conditioning, etc. The manufacturers have equipped the model with a wonderful suspension, thanks to which the car is perfectly accustomed to Russian roads. If it were not for the badge in the front, it would be naive to believe that everyone's beloved AvtoVAZ has finally “given birth” and came up with a car with an adapted suspension. Unfortunately, the time for new solutions has not come yet.
The reliability of the Franco-Romanian product is perhaps the main advantage of the car. Further, opinions are divided: agility and comfort, acceleration dynamics and the relevance of options - all this was subjected to frequent discussions. Let's analyze objectively the question of the profitability of Renault Sandero Stepway.
General ideas about the car owners
Appearance
The appearance of the model gives rise to a double impression: in front, it seems like it looks beautiful and stylish, and in the back the body looks like a chopped off one. The feeling that the imagination of the designers has dried up. But many owners are pleased with the doors: there is no need to slam, the handles are soft, they open smoothly.
The general view of the Stepway is akin to an SUV. There are chrome pads, luggage bars of the original design and other elements. The fastening of the inscription and the same overlays is fragile. The manufacturer regrets the tape and glue, so it is possible that over time you will have to glue something. However, the manufacturer did not regret the paintwork: the thickness of the layer is excellent, if scratches appear, you can use polish - this, by the way, is confirmed by most owners of Renault Sandero Stepway.
The dimensions of the car, according to many owners, are what you need. It is easy to park on such a car, it does not take up much space, and there is enough space inside to accommodate five people of average build. The trunk is small, but its volume can be increased, although then someone will have to leave the cabin, since there will be no space left behind. Many swear that the spare wheel is located in an inconvenient place - under the bottom. Some, on the contrary, are sure that this is even better: it does not get in the way of the trunk.
Salon
Consider the Renault Sandero Stepway salon: the owners' reviews about it are also ambiguous. The resulting opinion is:
- The seats are not very comfortable and are difficult to adjust correctly. This changes the position of the back. The chair is not height-adjustable at all. But the landing is high, it allows you to correctly assess the situation on the road.
- The steering wheel is adjustable in height, but the travel range is so small that you don't really want to change its position. People of short stature will literally have to reach for the steering wheel, since the ability to change the longitudinal seat adjustment is also scarce.
- Large glove box: the arm goes up to the elbow, but this practically does not affect the interior space. The passenger is comfortable to sit.
- The driver may be irritated by the panel indicators. Maybe the color is nasty because visual alarms should be more effective than warning lights, but not everyone likes it.
- Plastic is cheap, it's not even worth talking about it, but the steering wheel and gear lever covers are made of leather. It's nice.
- In general, the location of the control keys is convenient. You can turn on the stove and air conditioner blindly. The same applies to power windows: the buttons for operating them are not located on the doors, but in the same place as the rear window heating button.
- Pedal travel is precise, easy to press, so traffic is not complicated in traffic jams.
- The hydraulic power steering prevents one finger from turning the wheel. We'll have to apply a little effort.
- The gear lever pleases with an excellent stroke: it is easy to change gears, however, the gearshift mechanism in the Stepway modification is cabled.
In the winter season, the stove will save you from a severe frost, but the air conditioner is rather weak, although on hot days it will do. Some owners claim that after 10 thousand mileage, extraneous sounds appear when warming up. If this is noticed, you should immediately go to a service station.
The noise level of the car also haunts. In the city, the engine does not bother with the "ominous roar", but it is necessary to give more than 3000 rpm, as a stable sound of the engine and wheels is felt in the cabin. Over time, "crickets" will appear, and first of all, for some reason, the front passenger door begins to creak. What is the secret is not clear.
As for the visibility, here it is complicated by the thick A-pillar: it creates a blind spot. I would also like to see more mirrors, although not everyone thinks so. Due to the specifics of the aerodynamic characteristics, it is necessary to frequently wipe the glass of the mirrors, so it is always recommended to carry a heavy roll of napkins. But the salon mirror allows you to well assess the situation in the back, it's nice.
Engine
Now let's talk about the reno sandero stepway engine. When the first cars were produced, Renault marketers considered that for now, one engine modification would be enough, which is an 8-valve 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 84 hp. and is aggregated with a 5-speed manual transmission. And despite the fact that later a 16-valve gasoline engine with an automatic transmission appeared, many owners still remained faithful to the old modification of the unit tested over the years, so most of the owners' statements were about it.
This motor is reliable, unpretentious, but very noisy. Likes to "eat" 92 and 95 gasoline, but does not refuse from the 98th. The good news is that it is practically immune to gear selection and does not detonate. A simple example: at a speed of 50 km / h, you can turn on the fifth gear, the car will gradually begin to accelerate to the limit. Acceleration, of course, is smooth, without pronounced acceleration. This style is suitable for measured city driving. Those who prefer to drive will remain dissatisfied.
The gears are short, you can get under way with some inclination even without the gas pedal. The engine does not resist, it copes well with the load and obediently pulls the car. If you want, you can get under way in second gear, this will practically not change anything. All this is good, but outside the city, at 100 km / h, the engine spins up to 3000 rpm, and then a powerful acoustic attack begins. Further, the noise only increases, while the acceleration dynamics noticeably decreases. After 100 km / h everything, except the noise, seems to freeze.
To overtake the vehicle in front, you need to think over the maneuver in advance, otherwise you may not be in time. After a short run, the car will accelerate to 155 km / h. This is subject to some margin of error. It's unpleasant that the car is rather gluttonous: when driving on the highway, it will take 8 liters. 100 km, and this despite the fact that the driver does not accelerate more than 100 km / h. In the mixed cycle - 9 liters. per 100 km. Considering that the weight of the car is a little more than a ton, and its power is 84 hp, then the consumption is high.
Suspension
The owner reviews are positive about the reno sandero stepway suspension: energy-intensive, quiet, elastic, durable - these are its main characteristics. Because of this, some drivers stop going around the pits, some negligence appears in the ride, but this does not greatly affect the general condition of the car. It should be noted that she still does not like sharp cornering, the car is heavily overwhelmed.
The brakes work great, the pedal travel is small, but the slip lock system works a little early. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the grip of regular tires is insufficient, but there is no unequivocal opinion of car owners.
To summarize
Budget car. Even if you take it on credit, you will get an amount that you do not mind paying for a reliable Reno Sandero Stepway car: the price of which starts from 453 thousand rubles.
For city driving - the car is what you need. The driver does not get tired, although it depends on the individual physiology. The suspension is perfect (as most car owners think), there are no problems with repairs either. The main thing is to carry out regular maintenance, because any car is like a child: it must be looked after.
Components for cars are sold at reasonable prices, owners should not wander around the car markets in search of the right part, it is recommended to buy original spare parts, and only in dealer showrooms. Well, and such additions as rugs and covers are better to take from private traders, since the original ones cost exorbitant amounts.
Along with the ability to purchase almost all parts for repair from official dealers, the low price of Renault Sandero Stepway makes it possible to pretty much press out eminent classmates on Russian roads.
