Renault Lodgy prices slashed in order to boost sales of the MPV

Renault Lodgy MPV was launched in India last April to cater for the growing interest in the family-carrier utility segment. The initial months saw the French manufacturer selling the MPV in good numbers but later it fell to a familiar fate as the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga rose to fame. While the MPV from the country’s leading automaker continues to sell on average nearly 5,000 units a month, Lodgy’s response was extremely below par with sales regularly dipping below 1,000 units.

In order to bring up the sales, Renault has slashed prices of its 85 PS diesel variants by up to one lakh. The four 85 PS variants are the STD, RxE, RxL and RxZ. The base STD grade has seen reduction by Rs. 96,000 while the RxE’s price has been slashed by Rs. 80,000. The other variants namely RxL and RxZ witnessed Rs. 55,000 and Rs. 34,000 cut down respectively.
