Renault Lodgy Below Average MPV

Renault introduced the Lodgy MPV back in the year 2015. The car mainly serves the large family as it's designed as a seven-seater MPV. It competes against the rivals such as Honda Mobilio and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in the Indian car market. Renault as a French manufacturer made the vehicle a contemporary one. Many customers prefer to buy Lodgy over other MPVs because it's more affordable and convenient for the people. So, it?s been over a year since I have been driving the Renault Lodgy. As I am having a big family and we belong to a middle class, I made the choice to buy a Multi-purpose vehicle. Seeing other MPVs with higher price tags, I preferred to buy Renault Lodgy. My family criticized my decision on buying this car for so many reasons. Now let me tell you something about what they feel about this car. On the outside, Renault Lodgy gets the boxy and unpleasing styling which may be not liked by all including many in my family. The road presence is also average. However, it has robust build and construction and it looks van-like. The side profile gets 15-inch wheels that seem to be quite small when you are riding the vehicle as big as Lodgy. At the back, Renault Lodgy gets its design from a spaceship-like tail light. It doesn't get projector headlamps or even the LED lighting to add any wow factor in it. Step inside the car, you will not notice noting unique or amazing. Everything is just plain and boring, even the material used inside is of low quality. It resembles the Duster in many parts. The features included in the list are 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that comes with a 4-speaker sound system for better entertainment. In terms of safety though, Renault Lodgy gets dual front airbags, rear parking sensors, ABS with EBD, front fog lamps and a rear camera. But on the negative note, Renault lacks many of the safety aspects. The car don?t have any six airbags variant, while ABS is also not standard. In terms of specifications, Lodgy gets the diesel mill with two states of tune. The 1.5L K9K engine delivers 85PS/200Nm and 110PS/245Nm. Overall, as per my understanding, Renault Lodgy is the ideal people movers with few faults. In my opinion, it?s good for the middle-class people with big families. Its service network is pathetic, while the after sales services are also average. I would recommend newly launched Ertiga instead.
