Renault Cars

Renault began its operations in the Indian market in 2005.The first successful product from the brand was the Duster compact SUV. Renault's next big success in India came with the micro- hatchback Kwid which offered an SUV-like design and ground clearance in a small, budget car. The French carmaker is one of the few mass-market brands in the country with no sedan offering in its product lineup. As part of the Renault-Nissan alliance, the brand had temporarily sold the Scala and Pulse which were rebadged versions of Nissan's Sunny and Micra respectively. However, the sale of the same car with two different badges was discontinued after a short run. Renault's most recent model, the Captur, is meant to be a more premium offering but has struggled to find buyers since its launch. The company has a manufacturing facility in Chennai with a production capacity of around 4.8 lakh units per year. Renault has also set up a network of more than 320 sales and 269 service facilities across India to cater to potential and existing customers.
