Current line-up of Renault cars
Renault India currently has a total of three products in India. These are the Kwid, the Triber and the Kiger. The company earlier used to sell the Duster as well. But given its low sales and the product’s age, Renault pulled the plug. But there are rumours that the new Renault Duster would make its Indian debut soon. That said, it might do so with 7 seats this time. Kiger managed to revive Renault’s stake in the Indian SUV market and continues to sell in good numbers. Meanwhile, Kwid and Triber too are posting great numbers in their respective segments. Also, the company could soon bring a slew of new models in the coming years.
