The Renault-Nissan A-platform new car is likely to be showcased as a concept car in 2014, which opens the possibility of its launch in 2015. While the speculations are rife about the Nissan India launching the small car, Renault will have gained enough sales momentum in the country to be able to launch the new small car by then.
