Engine: 1.0 SCe 16V
Exchange: 5-speed manual
Power and Torque: 82 hp and 10,2 kgfm
The Renault Stepway is in a somewhat delicate position in the market. With the arrival of the Renault Kardian, scheduled for March, the automaker is reviewing its strategy and, as a result, the Stepway may be in its last months of sales.

Despite this, it continues to be an interesting option in the segment.
