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.

The new Renault Logan SUV

Remember apart from selling the Logan in India Mahindra also have an agreement to sell a seven seater in India with renault.Till now it was thought that this would be the renault steppe MCV, but its price tag may be too steep and it could even be in Scorpio category which would be nothing but disaster.


Now worldcarfans have caught a test vehicle from Renault which they believe is the SUV version of the Renault Logan.The sedan clearly is a test mule for a much bigger vehicle.If priced right this could really have the potential to do much better than the Logan sedan even.Now don't know if this is the mass market small SUV that Mahindra has promised us within the next two years.Here's an artists impression of the new SUV.



Ofcourse another possibility is that we may just get a whole new Renault Logan a bigger one at that.
