Renault Sandero

Every now and then, a car that ticks all the boxes comes along. New Sandero is one of this kind: modern and refined design, F1-inspired performance-plus engine boasting excellent fuel economy (5.2l/100km combined cycle NEDC), unique-in-segment safety level and the inclusion of 'big car' features and smart technology, this newcomer is way ahead of its competitors.

"What you see is a vehicle fully representative of Renault's heritage with every gene rooted in Renault's DNA." says Wayne van der Merwe, product manager for New Sandero.

Because of its unparalleled value proposition, the new Sandero is quickly becoming the new reference among cars priced under R150,000, a strategic segment which weights no less than 60,000 sales per annum.

Youthful and modern styling exudes a mix of discernible quality and refinement. While Renault's ubiquitous, centre-piece diamond-shaped badge dominates the black grille and underscores the brand's new design identity, a trendy, integrated roof spoiler, body-coloured side mirrors and 15" wheels standard across the range, add to its up-to-the-minute exterior appeal.

Inside the cabin, the quality of the materials used is tangible. To optimise driving pleasure, the dashboard features a sophisticated cluster with chrome detailing around the dials and boasts an array of techno-smart yet practical instrumentation.

Renault is today the most advanced brand globally with regards to engine downsizing. Indeed, as confirmed by JATO Dynamics in their annual report A Review of New Car CO2 Emissions across Europe 2013, Renault is today the best performing brand, in terms of fuel efficiency and CO? emission, with a weighted average of 110.1g/km, displaying the technological superiority of a new generation of recently launched petrol and diesel engines such as 1.6 dCi (R9M), Turbo 66kW (H4Bt) and Turbo 85kW (H5Ft). These new engines literally tick all the boxes: exciting performance, best-in-class fuel economy and reliability.
