Renault RBC MPV

Renault India's next launch after the Captur will be a 7-seater MPV code-named RBC. This MPV will rival the likes of the successful Maruti Ertiga in the market.

Despite having an MPV in Renault India's product lineup, the Lodgy has not been very successful. The Maruti Ertiga and Toyota Innova have proven to be strong models. To take on this segment, Renault plans to launch a new MPV.

The Renault RBC MPV is expected to feature a crossover DNA with flared wheel arches and muscular styling. The new MPV from Renault will be underpinned by the low-cost platform CMF-A and will be positioned below the Duster, making the new MPV a lot competitive in pricing.

Expected Launch Date: 2018
Expected Price: Rs 8 lakh to Rs 11 lakh

Renault Duster Facelift

Renault's European brand Dacia recently unveiled the all-new Duster. The new Duster or the facelift looks similar to the styling of the current model but looks evolved and fresh.

The new Duster is expected to be roomier with a redesigned cabin. Renault has moved the windshield ahead by 100mm, giving more room inside the cabin. Renault is expected to offer both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layouts in the new Duster.

Apart from the design, the new Renault Duster is expected to come with new features on the inside as well. We expect a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a host of other comfort and convenience features.

Expected Launch: 2019
Expected Price: Rs 9 lakh to Rs 13 lakh

DriveSpark Thinks!

All the three upcoming Renault cars in India will be powered by the 1.5-litre petrol and turbo diesel engines and will be underpinned by the CMF-A platform. We expect Renault to price the model aggressively as it looks to retain its market share of 5 percent and probably increase it.
