Renault Russia has announced the Renault Logan
Stepway cross-sedan, in addition to an updated Sandero Stepway and Dokker
Stepway. The introduction of the Logan Stepway confirms multiple reports which
stated that Renault would experiment with this body style.
The Renault Logan Stepway gets a black radiator
grille with chrome linings, highlights for the fog lamp enclosures, LED daytime
running lights, 360-degree body cladding and a raised 195 mm ground clearance
(the standard Logan offers a 155 mm ground clearance). Inside, all Stepway
models are equipped with a new steering wheel with improved ergonomics and a
new multimedia system MediaNav 4.0 with support for Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay.
Depending on the variant, the Renault Logan Stepway
and Sandero Stepway will also offer a remote start system, developed
specifically for Russia, which allows the engine and cabin to warm up before
commencing a trip, a heated windshield, heated front seats and ORVMs and rear
parking sensors.
On the powertrain front, the Renault Logan Stepway
is powered by a 1.6-liter petrol engine available in three different tunes: 82
PS/134 Nm, 102 PS/145 Nm and 113 PS/152 Nm. Renault will offer the X-Tronic CVT
option on the 113 PS tune, whereas other variants get a 5-speed manual
transmission. The AVTOVAZ plant in Togliatti will manufacture the
Renault Logan Stepway. The new Renault Logan variant's public debut will take
place at the 2018 Moscow International Automobile Salon on 29 August, 2018.
