At the Moscow international motor show in 2018 Renault showed the van-Dokker Van heel, and also announced the start of production of its "raised" version of the Dokker Stepway.

And only today the company Renault Russia began accepting applications for this "crossover" version with a price tag starting from ₽1 059 990 for the version with a gasoline 6-liter engine (82 HP, 134 N•m) and from ₽1 179 990 for the version with a 1.5-liter diesel engine (90 PS, 200 N•m), aggregated with 5-speed manual gearbox.

Exterior and interior Dokker Stepway differs from the basic model, only the nuances of decor and extended to 190 mm ground clearance.

In addition, there is stowage shelf above windscreen, folding tables in the backrests of the front seats (as on aircraft and coaches), armrest, driver, pocket-mesh for the front passenger on the center console.
In this configuration Dokker Stepway only a single – Drive, although adequately staffed. In the package equipment included: fog lamps, front side and head airbag for driver and front passenger, leather-trimmed steering, cruise control, electric and heated mirrors, heated front seats, bus has ABS with electronic brake-force distribution and emergency braking mode AFU, ESP+ NA (system of assistance in moving on the rise), air conditioning, roof rails, alloy 15-inch wheels. But there is only audio preparation. The simple audio system is ₽990 12, and the MediaNav system 4.0 with 7-inch display and navigation, interfaces Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is estimated at ₽990 25. The extra ₽8990 also install a rear view camera, but only in conjunction with navigation. Rear Parking sensors will cost ₽6990.

PS Obviously, to fight on our Dokker Stepway will have a domestic competitor – also a raised station wagon LADA Largus Cross, the price for which starts from ₽740 900 (excluding discounts and promotions) for the version with petrol 1.6-liter 106-horsepower engine, also with a 5-speed manual gearbox and five-seater salon. He is also one basic (Luxe) with leather steering wheel, heated mirrors and front seats, air conditioning, and audio system and 16-inch alloy wheels. While LADA "spared" from the electronic stability system and PB of the passenger.
