No one ever expected that it would so soon re-enter the Indian car market.
Renault is back in India on its own, and the Fluence sedan is its first offering.
The car comes with various features including a 3D sound system with eight speakers, automatic headlamps and rain sensing wipers.
The Stepway will have raised ground clearance, body cladding to add that rugged look and roofrails too.
Hyundai Elantra is likely to give it tough to rivals like Renault Fluence and Toyota Corolla.
High-end mid-sized sedans, comfy SUVs and entry-level luxury models steal their show.
Right now, the 'Lower D' or LD segment -- which the industry defines as a sedan that costs between Rs 1.5 million and Rs 2 million, is longer than 4.5 metres, and powered by an engine of 1.8 litre or larger -- has barely three cars, all of which have been around for over a decade in India. Nevertheless, at least one foreign auto player is looking to bet big on the segment.
