Renault Lodgy (2019) Updates

Thursday, 02 April 2020 12:16 AM Renault India announced the discontinuation of the Renault Lodgy by April 2020, marking the end of its production run in the Indian market. The decision was likely due to declining sales and increasing competition in the MPV segment. I think this move was inevitable given the Lodgys aging design and features.

Thursday, 05 December 2019 09:51 PM In December 2019, Renault launched the Lodgy World Edition, which came with 25 new updates to the exteriors and interiors. This edition was priced at Rs 9.74 lakh and aimed to revamp the vehicles appeal with additional features and cosmetic enhancements. I believe these updates were a last-ditch effort to boost sales before the models eventual discontinuation.

Sunday, 16 June 2019 09:06 PM Renault introduced the Lodgy Stepway edition in June 2019, designed to differentiate it from taxi operators and appeal more to family car buyers. The Stepway edition came with some cosmetic changes and additional features, priced starting at Rs 11.9 lakh. This move was an attempt to make the Lodgy more attractive in a competitive market.

Wednesday, 15 May 2019 08:08 PM The Renault Lodgy was praised for its spacious and versatile interior, with a seating capacity of 7 and ample storage space. The vehicle featured a 1.5-liter diesel engine with two states of tune, delivering 85PS/200Nm and 110PS/245Nm. I think the Lodgys practicality was one of its strongest selling points.

Wednesday, 10 April 2019 07:58 PM Renault updated the Lodgy with several features, including automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, and rear parking sensors with a camera. These updates were aimed at enhancing the vehicles comfort and safety features. I believe these additions made the Lodgy a more competitive option in its segment.

Wednesday, 20 March 2019 12:31 PM The Lodgys fuel efficiency was a highlight, with an ARAI mileage of 19.98 to 21.04 kmpl, depending on the engine tune. This made it a viable option for those looking for a fuel-efficient MPV. I think the Lodgys mileage was quite impressive given its size and power.

Monday, 25 February 2019 04:09 PM The Renault Lodgy had a significant boot space, with 207 liters available even with the third row in place. However, the boot space could be extended to 759 liters by removing the third row and up to 1,866 liters by folding the second row. This flexibility was a major advantage for users needing ample cargo space.

Thursday, 31 January 2019 12:49 AM Renault offered the Lodgy in various variants, including the Stepway edition, which was designed to look more rugged and appealing. The Stepway edition came with additional features like roof rails and a different exterior design. I think the Stepway edition gave the Lodgy a much-needed styling boost.

Tuesday, 15 January 2019 02:56 PM The Lodgy faced stiff competition from other MPVs like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Mahindra Marazzo, and Toyota Innova Crysta. Despite its features and space, it struggled to gain significant market share. I believe the competition was too intense for the Lodgy to stand out.

Thursday, 20 December 2018 07:03 AM Renault emphasized the practicality of the Lodgy, highlighting its airline-style trays in the second row for the 110PS RxZ variant and the removable third-row seats. These features made it a practical choice for families and long road trips. I think these features were well thought out for the target audience.
