Renault Reveals Their Plans for India

Renault India has announced an ambitious plan to bring 5 new models to the country by 2027. This underlines the French carmaker’s commitment to the Indian market. At a media event held today, the brand also introduced the updated versions of their current selling models; the KWID, Triber and Kiger.
  
On being asked, the brand did not explicitly confirm the introduction of the All-New Renault Duster in the coming year. But according to their presentation, a new compact SUV is on the cards followed by a 7-seater SUV. Further, they also have intentions of bringing in an electric vehicle for local markets. This could be the KWID EV is what we believe.

Talking about the current lineup? The 2024 editions of the KWID, Triber and Kiger get added features and new prices. Let’s have a look:
