Renault recently revealed that it will cease production of two models in Brazil: the Renault Stepway Zen 1.0 and the Renault Oroch Outsider 1.3 TCe. These vehicles, previously made in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, will no longer be part of the brand’s offerings in the country once the existing stock is depleted.
You need to know the key points.
- Renault Stepway discontinues production after 16 years in the Brazilian market.
- Only Oroch version 1.6 will be available for purchase as the 1.3 TCe engine has been stopped.
- Stocks are currently in supply, but only while they last.
Farewell to Renault Stepway and Oroch 1.3.
The Stepway, an adventurous hatch, first appeared in Brazil 16 years ago. Since 2022, it has been available only with a 1.0 aspirated engine. Despite selling 4,631 units in 2024, Renault has chosen to halt its production.
The current Stepway Zen model with a three-cylinder engine producing 82 horsepower and 10.5 kgfm of torque may not be sufficient for it to remain competitive. It is currently available on the brand’s website for R$86,990, but availability is limited to existing stock.
The highest trim level of the Renault Oroch, the Outsider 1.3 TCe with a turbo engine producing 170 cv and 27.5 kgfm torque mated to a CVT transmission, has been discontinued. However, the Pro, Intense, and Iconic versions equipped with a naturally aspirated 1.6 engine delivering 120 cv and 16.2 kgfm torque paired with a six-speed manual transmission remain available. Prices for these models range from R$ 119,900 to R$ 133,310.
Renault aims to optimize production lines by focusing on models with higher demand through these farewells.
