Just a step away

Sandero Stepway is on its way to India


The Sandero Stepway — that recently launched in South America — could soon be en route to India. The Stepway is an all new, beefed-up version of the Sandero hatch (which shares the Logan platform).

The car sports customary plastic cladding around the wheel arches which merge into the lower part of the bumpers, with beefy-looking running boards along its flanks. The Stepway is styled to look like a mini-SUV, but the truth is, this car is a regular hatch in all but its appearance.

Under the skin the car houses the same 1.5-litre dCi diesel engine that we’re accustomed to in the Logan. Still, the greater ground clearance should be more than welcome given our road conditions.

Mahindra & Mahindra’s Nashik plant looks the most likely location for the Stepway to be built. Even with dashing graphics and spruced-up interiors, the Stepway is expected to start well below the Rs 5-lakh mark. On its arrival, the Stepway will definitely make for an interesting addition to Renault’s line-up in India.
