Renault entered the Indian market in 2005, with the Duster compact SUV marking its first major success. The company further gained traction with the Kwid, a micro-hatchback that offered an SUV-like design and ground clearance at an affordable price. Despite its success, Renault has not offered any sedans in its lineup, although it briefly sold rebadged Nissan models, such as the Scala and Pulse, before discontinuing them. Renault’s latest model, the Captur, aimed at the premium market, has faced challenges in gaining popularity.
Renault’s manufacturing facility in Chennai has a production capacity of approximately 4.8 lakh units per year. The company has expanded its presence with over 320 sales and 269 service facilities across India.
Renault’s Presence in India
Renault offers 3 models in India, covering 1 hatchback, 1 compact SUV, and 1 MUV. The brand plans 3 upcoming launches – the 2025 Kwid, New Duster, and Bigster.
