RENAULT SANDERO

THE FREEDOM TO BE SPONTANEOUS
THE RENAULT SANDERO WAY

TRUE STYLE

THAT LEAVES ITS MARK

STYLE, SPACE AND STURDINESS FINALLY
WITHIN REACH…

The new Renault Sandero stands out as a stylish and sturdy hatchback,
with appealing looks that convey both solidity and dynamism. The
expressive contoured headlamps, bold front bumper and sporty grille
combination perfectly matches its sleek bodywork, making an immediate
impression on the beholder.

The Renault Sandero is more than just a mode of transport - it is
undeniably attractive and offers a safe and affordable ride in true style.

Features and images may vary and be optional depending on model.

STYLISH AND SPACIOUS

The exterior design makes an immediate impression on the beholder, it’s both stylish and appealing. Expressive
contoured headlamps, bold front bumper and a sporty grille combine perfectly to match its sleek body work.

The exterior design gives an impression of a roomy interior, and upon entering the vehicle, one is pleasantly
surprised to find that the interior space is even bigger than one thought. The Sandero can carry five large adult
occupants comfortably. But what about the luggage space? The Sandero has the biggest boot space in its segment,
in some cases even larger than vehicles in higher segments. With an impressive 320 litres of boot space, the
Sandero can pack plenty of luggage with ease - something not usually associated with hatchbacks.

The Sandero’s design, both exterior and interior, is a pure impression of solidity and sturdiness in the bodywork.
Not surprisingly, the Renault Sandero has been designed, adapted and tested to severe climatic conditions and
difficult road surfaces in South Africa to ensure that it’s durable and reliable, even in extremely harsh conditions.

Overall, the Sandero offers a stylish, spacious and robust package with great personality to boot. Certainly worth
checking out!

AFTER ALL IT’S THE STYLISH, SPACIOUS, STURDY SANDERO

Features and images may vary and be optional depending on model.

POSITIVELY STURDY, PROVEN RELIABILITY

The new Sandero is meticulously built to Renault’s stringent global quality standards under the B0 platform philosophy. The B0 platform’s fundamentals are the
production of spacious, higher quality (robust), and low cost maintenance vehicles at an affordable price. All vehicles produced from this platform undergo rigorous
quality testing by exposure to severe climatic conditions and bad road surfaces. The result is a sturdy and reliable product of quality beyond reproach. It is not surprising
that over 1.3 million vehicles produced from this platform have been sold worldwide (in over 60 countries) since its inception in 2004. Some models produced under
the same platform have achieved accolades for high quality and durability in their respective countries, further vindicating the higher quality standard of the platform.

Whatever the terrain and weather conditions you are driving in, you can always count on Sandero’s proven endurance. Two petrol engines (1.4i and 1.6i) have been
specifically chosen for the new Sandero because of their sturdiness and proven reliability over many years within the Renault family. These engines meet B0 platform
commitment - to offer engines with reduced running costs, impeccable sturdiness and ease of maintenance.

UNPARALLELED SAFETY HERITAGE

The Renault brand has become synonymous with vehicle safety worldwide. This
reputation is duly deserved since Renault is the only vehicle manufacturer with
11 cars having obtained 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests – the international
authority in new vehicle safety assessment. With such a rich safety heritage,
Renault has ensured that the new Sandero body structure meets their safety
standards, furthermore all doors are reinforced with side protection beams. The
highly rigid and robust occupant’s cell ensure that the driver and passengers are
kept from harm in the event of the unexpected.

The new Renault Sandero offers safety features such as driver and passenger
airbags and ABS braking system with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), further
enhanced by Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) according to version.

LOW COST OF MAINTENANCE

BACKED BY RENAULT CONFIANCE

The philosophy behind the new Renault Sandero is centred around robustness and reliability in design with low cost of
maintenance. This is reflected in internationally proven durable and fuel efficient engines. With the new Renault Sandero not
only are you guaranteed affordability in spare parts, but availability as well since the vehicle is locally produced.

The new Sandero is backed by Renault Confiance, our customer service package, with a 5 year/60 000 km Full Maintenance
Plan available from the 1.6 Expression Pack and higher versions (a first in the segment). All Renault Sandero versions come
standard with a 3 year/100 000 km mechanical warranty and a 6 year anti-corrosion warranty.

Every new Renault Sandero comes standard with peace of mind.

FRENCH FLAIR WITH THE “MZANSI” TOUCH

MADE FOR AFRICAN CONDITIONS...

PRODUCED IN SOUTH AFRICA

The new Renault Sandero has been designed, adapted and tested to severe climatic conditions and
difficult road surfaces such potholes, gravel and sand. The durability testing has been carried out according
to Renault stringent global standards to ensure that the quality of every vehicle produced in South Africa
is as good as any Renault produced anywhere else in the Renault factory across the world. You can rest
assured that the new Sandero is robust and reliable - made for Africa.

100% COMMITTED
TO SOUTH AFRICA

GENEROUS INTERIOR SPACE,

PRACTICAL DRIVING ENVIRONMENT

Sandero’s 4.02m length, 1.75m width and 1.53m height translates into generous
and unrivalled interior space for all 5 large adult occupants and their luggage. The
vehicle’s definitive 878mm of headroom in the rear of the vehicle will leave a
noticeable gap between even the tallest person’s head and the roof-lining, while
front-seat occupants can stretch out comfortably, thanks to a substantial 1 380mm
and 1 400mm of front and rear shoulder room.

With an exceptional boot capacity of 320 litres, the Sandero boasts the largest
luggage space in its class and sometimes even larger than vehicles above its
segment. The luggage space can be increased to a maximum of 1200 litres with
the offering of 60:40 split rear seats on the Dynamique version.

The new Renault Sandero’s generous interior is further complemented by the
practical design. The design of the door panels contributes to the cabin's modern
feel, thanks to the smart handles and decorative trim strips. The new Renault
Sandero is available with two dashboard trims and co-ordinated upholsteries.
Particular attention was paid to produce an uncluttered, practical driving environment,
with easy-to-read instruments and user-friendly controls.
