In a bid to increase its market share in the Indian market, Renault is currently working on several new products. Though the company has a total of five products in its line-up, the Duster is the only product that is in demand. So with new products, the French autoamker will enter some new segments including entry level hatchback, sub-compact SUV and compact MPV. Here's a list of the car that Renault is planning for India.
New Sub-Compact SUV:In an earlier report we said that Renault is currently on a sub-compact SUV for India to position below the Duster. Though it still isn't clear what product the French automaker will bring in, Auto Plus - A French magazine - had claimed last month that it would be an all new product. Upon its launch the new vehicle will take on the likes of Ford EcoSport and other upcoming sub-4 metre SUVs. In fact, the company has already started testing a new mini SUV outside India.
Expected Price: - Rs. 6 lakh - Rs. 8 lakh
Renault Lodgy MPV:While the sub-compact SUV might still take time to enter our shores, the Lodgy MPV could be launched in the first half of 2015. Sold in several international markets, the India-bound model is expected to receive some significant changes that will help the carmaker price it competitively. Also, this 7-Seater MPV might share its underpinnings and features with other Renault products. Upon its launch the Lodgy MPV will take on the likes of Honda Mobilio and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
Expected Price: - Rs. 7 lakh - Rs. 10 lakh
Renault Small Hatchback:Renault-Nissan alliance is currently working on a new 800cc 3-cylinder petrol engine, which will power their upcoming small cars. The new cars are expected to be based on CMF-A platform, which too has been jointly developed by Renault-Nissan. Though both the small car will share most parts and components, there will be huge design changes as the alliance is no more in support of badge-engineering products. Since it will be the company's global product, it will first enter the Indian market by 2015, followed by other emerging markets like Brazil and South Africa.
Expected Price: - Rs. 3 lakh - Rs. 4 lakh
