Muscular, Efficient Renault Stepway
The eight-valve unit produces a peak power output of 64 kW at 5 500 r/min, coupled to maximum torque of 128 Nm at 3 000 r/min. As a result, the Stepway accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in a 11,5 seconds, with an accompanying top speed of 175 km/h.
The power unit also scores high marks in fuel economy and efficiency terms. The combined-cycle fuel consumption figure comes to 7,2 l/100 km, while the CO2 emissions rating is 183 g/km.
Like its Sandero siblings, the Stepway also sets high active and passive safety standards. The efficient braking system links vented front discs to self-adjusting rear drums, controlled by the latest Bosch 8.0 ABS anti-lock braking system.
The system incorporates electronic brake force distribution (EBD), and emergency brake assist (EBA).
In terms of passive safety, the Stepway is fitted with a collapsible steering column, dual front airbags, inertia reel seatbelts, and front and rear head restraints.
The Stepway is fitted with an engine immobiliser and the innovative Renault Anti-Intrusion Device (RAID).
