Renault Logan Stepway is a front-wheel drive cross-sedan of the subcompact category (aka B-community by European standards), which combines all the features of an inexpensive and practical family car with the advantages of high ground clearance ... Its predominant target audience is urban residents (both men and women) who, for various reasons, have to periodically leave the boundaries of asphalt roads ...
The official premiere of the second-generation "raised" Renault Logan, which received the Stepway prefix to the name, took place at the end of August 2018 - within the framework of the International Moscow Auto Show (although it was announced on the Web a few weeks before this event).
This four-door was "prepared" according to the same recipe as the Sandero cross-hatchback - by adding an "all-terrain" body kit around the perimeter of the body and increasing the ground clearance.
Outside, it will not be difficult to recognize Renault Logan Stepway against the background of the standard version - its distinctive features are a body raised high above the ground, which is encircled by protective "armor" made of unpainted plastic, and is crowned with inscriptions with the name of the version, as well as "metal" front and rear bumper covers.
