I'm interested in this too, no prices or specs for the new one in the UK yet.
Apparently it comes with cvt or 6 speed manual, and an electric version for the end of 2021.
Not familiar with Renault stuff, any inherent problems with the running gear?

Ahh Thx, just discussed with Mrs PR she's happy with a manual.
Thinking of a stepway comfort in blue, I notice pre orders attract a service plan foc. Is it worth pre ordering or better to wait until launch?
You don’t have to go ahead if you pre order, and you’ll get your deposit back. The dealer you choose will just get a list of people who have pre ordered to contact and then you can actually order or not.Thinking of a stepway comfort in blue, I notice pre orders attract a service plan foc.

10k for a bi-fuel model is stonking value!

I was thinking of a pre ordering a base Stepway, just over £11k with metallic paint, seems amazing value
It does look good, maybe even too posh for us with electronic fang dangles galore. I notice the comfort gets even more, much more than we want or need, except the soft feel steering wheel. Is the std one that bad? Will we get splinters?
As a serial sheddist who hasn't owned a brand new car since 2002 I am thinking more and more about one of these. I am pretty certain the Essential TCE 90 in Highland Grey for £10,555 would be all the car I really need and would easily last me for 15 years+.
However, my girlfriend can only drive an Auto, and the only Auto version is the COMFORT TCE 90 AUTOMATIC which is £13,355 with metalic paint.
My current shed is 14 years old and getting a bit tired now, and it seems all second hand cars have gone up massively since Covid. I would probably be upping the shed budget to £5K next time, but I am thinking I could put £5K down as a deposit on one of these and hopefully pay under £100 a month?

I wouldn't pay 13k for a Dacia. Sorry. I like them but at 13k... a few k more and you get a VW UP! GTI.
The whole positive of a Sandero is its like a Clio Campus. Cheery. Cheep, basic and ...cheap.
But a Sandero is the next size up from an Up. And £13k gets you an auto, which IIRC you can't get in an UP, never mind a GTI.The whole positive of a Sandero is its like a Clio Campus. Cheery. Cheep, basic and ...cheap.
You're comparing Apples and Eggs. Dacias are cheap when directly compared to a direct competitor.

On PCP I would think so. Unfortunately we don't have the finance schemes available at the moment to quote properly.However, my girlfriend can only drive an Auto, and the only Auto version is the COMFORT TCE 90 AUTOMATIC which is £13,355 with metalic paint.
