Logan with mechanics: from Access to Luxe Privilege

They start at 534,000 rubles (Access package). This is an empty car with a vegetable 1.6-liter 82-horsepower engine, a 5-speed manual, mechanical windows, one airbag and strictly no air conditioning - you cannot order it for an additional fee. Since the demand for such versions is minimal even from taxi and corporate fleets, we will shamelessly consider this version and its price a publicity stunt.

The next level is the Confort package for 597,990 rubles. By default, there will be the same engine and transmission, but will add front electric windows and the ability to order required options. A passenger airbag will cost a symbolic 2990 rubles, the system remote start Renault engine Start - 6990 rubles. For heating windshield, front seats and mirrors you will pay 16,990 rubles. For an audio system with Bluetooth support - another 10,990 rubles. The most expensive option required is air conditioning. The French are asking 29,990 rubles for it. Thus, a “ready-to-drive” car will cost 665,940 rubles. But even if you are satisfied with the capabilities of the 82-horsepower engine (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 engine with a capacity of 113 horsepower. Moreover, this engine is more economical than the 82-horsepower one. In the urban cycle, the difference is 1.3 l/100 km, which, with an annual mileage of 25,000 km, will result in approximately 12,000 rubles. A “mechanical” Logan with such an engine will cost at least 657,990 rubles, however, unlike less powerful version- the air conditioner 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 two conclusions arise. First: surcharge for a more powerful, torquey and economical motor is 60,000 rubles and definitely makes sense. Second: having such a sum, you can start looking closely at Sandero Stepway.

If Logan costs more than 700,000 rubles does not interest you, you can immediately move on to the next chapter. But we will finish what we started and look at more expensive configurations sedan

Directly behind “Confort” in the configurator hierarchy is the Active version. It is coupled only with a 4-speed automatic transmission, 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 version of Privilege. Basic prices range from 673,990 rubles (82 horsepower) to 713,990 (113 horsepower), and the main differences boil down to more wide possibilities retrofitting. 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 windows will be electric. If we consider Logan not as a workhorse, but as family car- This is the execution that seems optimal to me. But only in combination with a 113-horsepower engine - this version comes with air conditioning.

However, if you really want to, you can throw on a little more and buy a top-end Luxe Privilege, having received a 113-horsepower engine and everything else for 759,990 rubles available options. The differences from the Privilege configuration are again in the formation of configurations: here, by default, there will be those options that Privilege buyers will have to pay for: rear parking sensors, side airbags, heated windshield, climate control, leather steering wheel. And the only one fundamental difference there will be 15-inch alloy wheels, unavailable to buyers of simpler versions, and climate control instead of conventional air conditioning. Whether they are worth the difference of 25,010 rubles is up to you to decide.

Sandero Stepway manual: 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 an advertisement. For this money you can only get a car with an 82-horsepower eight-valve engine, without air conditioning and an audio system. So, feel free to add 29,990 for the “condo” (fortunately, you can order it for an additional fee) and 10,990 for the “Audio” package - you get 730,990 rubles. And if your 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 horsepower, will cost at least 729,990 rubles. Moreover, you shouldn’t expect any additional “goodies”. For all the above-mentioned options you will have to pay the above-mentioned money, and the bill for a complete 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 more profitable and interesting options. The first one is . Essentially the same Confort with a 113-horsepower engine and 5-speed manual transmission, but supplemented with everything necessary equipment(in addition to what we discussed above, the Renault Start remote start system will appear) and is distinguished by its characteristic features: stylized as cast rims dark color, as well as original applications on the doors and mirrors. Sandero Stepway LE can also be ordered in a white color scheme, which is not available in other versions. Despite all these features, all other things being equal, the LE will be about 5,000 rubles more profitable than the Conforta stuffed with additional additives with a similar engine.

The second option is Sandero Stepway in the top-end Privilege version. Yes - for 771,990 they offer a hatchback with an 82-horsepower engine and manual transmission, but by default there will be four airbags instead of two, climate control instead of air conditioning. And also: cruise control, leather steering wheel and the ability to order a safety package (17,990 rubles), including rear parking sensors and a stabilization system. The latter will definitely not be superfluous. 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 a heated windshield here for 7990, navigation system for 15,990 rubles. It turns out 835,880 rubles - and this is the ceiling for the three-pedal Sandero Stepway.

Renault Logan and Sandero Stepway with automatic transmission

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 transmission, which is combined exclusively with the proven 1.6-liter engine producing 102 hp. With. The French did not make friends with an automatic transmission with a 113-horsepower engine). Everything would be fine, but this couple manages to consume 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.

The most affordable - Renault Logan in the Active package for 687,990 rubles. The equipment is rather poor, but air conditioning and front electric windows are already available as standard. Given a limited budget, I would only pay 2,990 rubles for an airbag front passenger. Apart from Datsun, Ravon and the “Chinese”, this is one of the best “two-pedal” offers on the market. The only pity is that the Active cannot be equipped with side airbags and a stabilization system.

The next two steps are Logan with an automatic transmission in the Privilege (from 743,990 rubles) and Luxe Privilege (from 789,990 rubles) versions. The breakdowns of configurations and options are again identical to those offered for modifications with mechanics. Therefore, it’s easy to calculate what kind of archaic machine Renault company asks for 70,000 rubles (here we should not forget that another engine is combined with it).

With Sandero Stepway it's even easier: automatic transmission gears can be ordered for only 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 11,990 rubles) will cost 883,960 rubles.

What's the result?

You have to pay for the image of a crossover. All else being equal 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, the raised hatchbacks will be equipped with slightly better than sedans. And yes - when buying a Sandero Stepway, you get a car with a truly crossover ground clearance (195 mm versus 155 for Logan - according to our measurements).

Logan's advantages (besides price) - in. The sedan has 510 liters of real volume, the hatchback 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 the Renault Logan Confort with a 113-horsepower engine and manual transmission, ordering additionally only a front passenger airbag. As family car I would take the Sandero Stepway in the Privilege version - with side airbags and ESP. If you don't have three children, the hatchback's capacity is sufficient. And paying several tens of thousands of rubles for a youth crossover image is not such a bad idea. After all, we are choosing a car for several years.

Prices budget car Renault of the year releases start at RUR 629,990. 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 with a power of 82 or 102 hp. With. The range of gearboxes available for selection is also the same - for more weak engine 5-speed manual and robotic gearbox, and for more powerful ones - a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. What is the difference between the configurations, and what is the reason for the higher price of the luxury version?

Comfort version

Externally, the model year looks the same as the Privilege - the body is painted metallic, the bumpers, mirrors and door handles are body color.

The radiator grille is always painted black. 16 inches in diameter imitate casting. The glass is slightly tinted. In general, in both versions the car looks expensive and attractive.

As for the interior, the less expensive trim has black interior door handles and a chrome-trimmed dashboard. Even at a low price, the seats in the Renault Sandero Stepway are trimmed with high-quality fabric.

Affordable price is not a hindrance to equipping your car with a set useful functions. Factory equipment French hatchback includes everything you need for a comfortable ride:

• Cruise control;
• air recirculation in the cabin 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 evident in standard heating rear window, and an optional heated windshield.

Safety car Renault The 2016 model is at a decent level: the brakes are equipped anti-lock braking system With electronic distributor effort, the driver and passengers are protected by all necessary airbags.

Privilege Option

The factory equipment of 2016 is equipped with a full range of options. Externally, the car is similar to the initial version, but some differences are already noticeable inside: door handles the luxury version is chromed and the dashboard is completely black. As with the semi-spec car, the seats have fabric trim.

Despite the very modest difference in price between the car variants, the Privilege version is equipped with very useful additional options.

The car interior has a climate control system, making travel significantly 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 sound system with 4 speakers, which allows you to play music from both CD and USB storage and is conveniently controlled by the steering wheel joystick. On dashboard There is a multifunctional on-board computer.

Safety measures protecting the driver and passengers are even more serious - side airbags have been added to the standard set of front airbags. Optional to ABS system can be added to stabilize the car when turning high speed. At the buyer's request, the car is also equipped with rear wheels.

The car was bought new in maximum configuration Privilege + parking sensors, no extras.
I bought the car for my wife, but for now I drive more often myself. I have an old one diesel BMW E39 530d 2001, you will have to compare with it.
Pros:
+ Clearance and miniature dimensions make it easy to park and drive through any courtyard in winter. The disadvantage of clearance is that it is inconvenient for small children to get in/out, and they get their pants dirty.
+ Wide tires with low weight it gives excellent handling in winter. I can easily do without ESP, at low speeds I can do whatever I want without skidding. However, studded tires also cost 25 thousand rubles.
+ Driving the car in the city is simple in every way (high seating position, good light, large mirrors, acceleration at low speeds).
+ Built-in key winding system 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 I drive almost the entire road using manual control.
Minuses:
- Fuel consumption. A combination of an ancient automatic transmission with a weak engine in a light body consumes 11-12 liters of 95 in the city, 8 liters at a speed of 100, or 7 liters at a speed of 80 outside the city. average consumption right now it shows 9.6 at average speed 31.8 (we live outside the city, mileage is higher on the highway). For comparison: my 16-year-old car, with 1.5 times the weight and a 3-liter engine, consumes less than 6 liters on the highway at a speed of 100.
- There is no soundproofing! You can hear the impact of each grain of sand on the body. At speeds over 80 km/h, talk to back row You can only do it very loudly.
- The original speakers are just crap! The “bass” gets choked up already at half the volume, i.e. You won't be able to turn the sound on loudly. And at this half the 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 needs to be and 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. Well, the pedals haven't been swapped yet.
- Also ergonomics. There is no coolant temperature reading. Only ONE reading is displayed on the screen: either time, or outside temperature, or mileage, etc. If cruise is turned on (like mine), then only the set speed is displayed and that’s it. How it was possible to manage to do something so monstrously inconvenient is unclear. I definitely won't get 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 it’s well worth the money (about 800 rubles at the end of 2017), if you don’t remember pre-crisis prices.
But somewhere in the range from 80 to 100 km/h, all the pleasure from this car disappears: it doesn’t really accelerate, the noise in the cabin makes it difficult to talk normally. It’s already scary to drive more than 100 km/h, and there’s no ESP. Not a car for the track. It will go as far as the village in summer.

More little things: the climate works fine, it’s comfortable. Leather steering wheel- Well, it’s not clear what, but it doesn’t look like leather, more like plastic. Under engine compartment there is no plastic protection, so when open hood asphalt is visible. The trunk door can only be opened with a button-lock, like on a Zhiguli. The tank is small, you need to refuel relatively often.
Capacity: the second row can hardly be accommodated for a short period of time Baby chair and two adults. If there are 2 chairs, an adult will no longer fit in, but a child might. Naturally there is not much space between the rows.
