Could Renault consider Scenic MPV for India?

MPV segment is relatively scanty in India. The French car manufacturer Renault has one such MPV, Renault Scenic offered in the markets abroad which has the potential to make its mark in the domestic car market. Renault India might place the Renault Scenic price smartly, in the range of Rs 8 – Rs 12.5 lakhs which could be a value proposition from the auto major. This price tag could make the Renault Scenic MPV sit in direct competition with the established player in the segment, the Toyota Innova.

Globally, the Renault MPV is offered with a petrol motor under the hood. All the same, Renault India might find the inclusion of the diesel engine considering the surging demand in India for diesel cars. The 1.4 L diesel engine affixed in Renault Fluence can be the right choice over others. The globally available Renault Scenic is fraught with some exceptional features like the cruise control, cutting-edge technology for navigation like Sat-Nav and alloy wheels.

Maruti Suzuki India is slowly gearing up to introduce its own weapon in the MPV segment, the Maruti Ertiga. So, Renault Scenic is inarguably a right option from the auto giant to make a debut in India.
