Renault, which had a market share of just over two per cent in the country last year, forayed in MPV segment on Apr 9 this year after launching 'Lodgy'.
At the heart of the Duster 1.3 Turbo X-Tronic is a turbocharged engine paired to a 7-speed CVT, the same engine that also powers the Mercedes A-Class, CLA and GLA-Class entry-level models! Now if only Renault had put some thought into the all-new Duster's interiors and driver comfort as they did in the engine... Rajesh Karkera/Rediff.com test-drives the old beast with a new heart.
Since the beginning of its sales in India, French MPV Renault Lodgy has always faced stiff competition from Toyota Innova as the ultimate people's mover.
The company is offering a total of 3 trims of this petrol variant along with the RXE trim; the other two trims are RXL and the top end RXZ.
Petrol variant will be available in the RxE and RxL variants whereas diesel will be the RxL and RxZ variants.
Whether or not Renault India will be able to fulfill its aim, we'll have to wait and watch.
The mileage of the SUV is 19.72 kmpl.
The Renault Triber is an ideal vehicle which has enough buff in its looks and enough practical space for a family of 5 to go out on a weekend getaway, says Rajesh Karkera/Rediff.com.
The SUV got gorgeous and more muscular.
The Lodgy feels easy to drive, more like a sedan than an MPV.
