Renault to launch the Sandero in India by 2009

Come 2009 and we will get the hatchback based on the Logan platform in India.However what is interesting is this time renault is talking high-end unlike economy and cheap like in the case of the Logan.The sandero is expected to take on the likes of the Honda jazz and the Skoda fabia.

Basically this car is the Logan without the boot and it would be interesting to see if people are willing to pay more money for this than the sedan version[logan].The initial pricing strategy of the logan in India was a blunder and hope renault don't repeat that mistake with the sandero.Also Renault should note that by 2009 we would have global cars meant for the developed world and selling cars meant for the third world with a premium tag may just not work.

Interestingly renault plans to sell the logan mcv in India too which would mean that the entire logan platform would be available in India.
