Introduced in 2009, the Renault Sandero has become one of South Africa’s favorite budget hatchbacks. Since its inception, its become more good looking, more advanced, and more safer. Here are 5 things we love about the Renault Sandero Stepway Plus.
Styling
The first generation Sandero looked rather flavorless. The new one looks pretty damn handsome. The Sandero Stepway Plus features C-shape daytime runnig lights, roof bars, intergrated roof spoiler, front and rear skid plates, high ground clearance, and 16″ dark metal flex wheels (Stepway). All in all, its a good car.
Safety
The Sandero Stepway Plus is the safest in its class scoring 3 Stars in the NCAP safety ratings. Its the only car in its class to include EBA (coupled with ABS) and ESP (+ ASR) as standard across the range.
Infotainment System

Rear view camera with parking sensors
Helping you avoid reversing into the mall parking walls & rails, it has a rear view camera and parking sensors.
The fuel economy
The 900cc petrol engine produces 66kW and 135Nm. Its nippy in traffic and fun to drive. Its claimed to consume just 5.2 l/100km, during out test it sipped just 5.5 l/100 on average.
Price for the Renault Sandero Stepway Plus is R 228 900 with metallic paint and leather seats as optional extras.
