Renault has been on a roll this year with massive sales growth. In July alone the company reportedly sold around 11,968 units as compared to the 1,686 units sold in the same period last year thereby witnessing a growth of 609.8 per cent. As for the period between Jan to July, Renault witnessed 195 per cent growth with 73,863 units sold this year as against 25,032 units sold in the same period last year.
The massive growth in sales this year can be attributed to the success of its entry-level product Kwid and the new Duster which was recently launched in the country. To further boost company’s sales numbers, the automaker introduced the Lodgy World Edition last month. From its current dealership strength of over 215 points, the company plans to reach over 270 facilities by the end of this year. This will help the brand further strengthen its presence in the Indian market.
The recently launched Renault Lodgy World Edition continues to be powered by a 1.5-litre dCi (Common Rail Direct Injection) engine in two tunes – 108bhp and 84bhp. The lesser powerful variant is mated to a five-speed manual transmission and returns a fuel efficiency figure of 21.04kmpl, while the powerful variant gets a six-speed manual transmission which returns a fuel efficiency figure of 19.98kmpl.
