Varies by engine, but generally moderate torque figures suitable for its class.

Fuel Delivery:

Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for gasoline engines, common-rail direct injection for diesel engines.

ECU Type:

Bosch or Siemens engine control units are common for this era of Dacia/Renault vehicles.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type Standard:

5-speed manual transmission is the most common.

Transmission Type Optional:

A 4-speed automatic transmission might be available on certain engine variants or trim levels.

Clutch Type:

Hydraulically operated single dry plate clutch.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 15,000 km (or 12 months), or as specified by the onboard computer/manual for synthetic oil. Check manual for specific engine.

Timing Belt Replacement:

For 1.4L (K7J/K7M) and 1.6L (K4M) engines, typically recommended every 60,000 km or 4 years, and includes replacement of tensioners and idler pulleys. Critical maintenance item.

Engine Oil Type:

API SN/SP or ACEA A3/B4, viscosity typically 5W-40 or 10W-40 depending on climate and specific engine variant. Refer to manual for precise specification.

Coolant Type:

Ethylene glycol-based coolant with organic acid technology (OAT) or HOAT, often purple or blue. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Renault Type D or equivalent.

Brake Fluid Type:
