PRESS RELEASE
RENAULT UNVEILS SANDERO, AN ATTRACTIVE, SPACIOUS
SALOON INTENDED FOR THE SOUTH AMERICAN MARKET
With the arrival of Sandero, Renault is – for the first time – launching a new model
outside its European home base. Developed from the same B0 platform as Logan
and built in the Curitiba plant in Brazil, Sandero will be marketed in Brazil from
December 2007, followed by Argentina. Thanks to the involvement of Renault’s
Brazil-based Regional Engineering Centre, Sandero was designed with the
expectations of South American customers in mind. This attractive 5-door
hatchback boasts all the basic qualities of vehicles derived from the B0 platform: it
is roomy, robust, and has plenty of luggage space. Sandero will be marketed in
Brazil with a three-year warranty, unprecedented in its class.
Sandero is a 5-door hatchback that will further strengthen Renault's product range in
South America. It will be manufactured at the Ayrton Senna plant in Curitiba in Brazil.
Working jointly with the Regional Engineering Centre and Renault Technologies Americas
(RTA), Renault factored the expectations and driving habits of its South American
customers into Sandero’s design. Sandero is a practical illustration of Renault’s
determination to develop and produce models that meet the needs of its target markets worldwide.
Set to be launched initially on the Brazilian and Argentinian markets, Sandero is a modern
hatchback with an appealing design that suggests both dynamic performance and
robustness. Its distinctive front end features very expressive headlamps, with a grille and
bumper that merge seamlessly into the bodywork. The design of the flanks strengthens
the suggestion of robustness thanks, in particular, to the wide protection strips along the
sides of the vehicle, whilst the rear styling emphasises the impression of a roomy,
generously proportioned car. Its dashboard was developed to be both modern and
functional, with no efforts spared to create ergonomic controls and make information
displays easy for all occupants to take in.
Big-size car, small-size price
While Sandero’s retail price belongs in the small car segment, its ample interior and
exterior dimensions – it is 4.02 metres in length with a storage capacity of 320 litres – put
it up with the larger compacts. Its front seat shoulder room of 1,400mm is best in class,
while the 878mm headroom at the rear marks Sandero out from its competitors. Not only
does the interior afford plenty of space, so do the doors, which open to an angle of up to
67° for ease of ingress. In addition, the rear bench seat split-folds 60:40 – one more
feature that cannot fail to appeal to families.
Competitive safety levels
In terms of active safety Sandero features the latest-generation Bosch 8.0 ABS, which
equips the entire Mégane II and now Clio II ranges. On the passive safety front, Sandero
has been designed to meet the requirements of European regulations. Its 3-point seat
belts, honeycomb dashboard, padded doors, and roof cross-member provide standards of
passive safety that are highly competitive on South American markets.
A full engine line-up from the outset
In Argentina, Sandero will be powered by petrol and diesel engines, while in Brazil the
range will focus on FlexFuel engines that burn biofuels. Acclaimed for its excellent
standard of reliability, the 1.6 16v engine will be offered in Argentina. This engine will
certainly lend Sandero dynamic performance capability with 90% torque from 2,000rpm,
while also controlling fuel consumption. On the diesel front, the second-generation
common rail direct injection 1.5 dCi is acknowledged as one of the best performing diesels
in the world boasting extremely low levels of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
In the Brazilian market, Sandero will be equipped with the 1.0 16v and 1.6 16v FlexFuel
powertrain packages that already power Clio II and Logan, as well as a newcomer to the
Renault range, the 1.6 8v FlexFuel engine. This range of engines, combined with the very
sound B0 platform chassis – whose ground links derive from Clio II – is bound to win over
customers looking for a vehicle that offers modernity and comfort and can withstand harsh
driving conditions. Much attention has also been focused on acoustics and thermal
comfort to satisfy these demanding markets.
In keeping with the B0 platform philosophy, robustness and reliability have been the
watchwords throughout the design process. For example, special wax suited to the
conditions that prevail in South America have helped to optimise Sandero’s corrosion
protection.
In order to make its high quality apparent to customers from the outset, Sandero will be
marketed in Brazil with a three-year warranty – unprecedented in the segment. Sandero
also stands out for its low servicing and repair costs. In this it follows in the wake of
Renault Logan’s excellent showing in the league table drawn up by the Centre for
Experiments and Road Safety (CESVI) in Brazil in May 2007.
Like Logan before it, Sandero will be rolled out on a global scale. In addition to Curitiba several other production facilities are being considered. Sandero thus sets the tone for a new stage in Renault’s internationalisation. In Europe a model derived from Sandero will further enrich the Dacia range in 2008.
