Mahindra Renault Releasing Soon This Season
The LPG and CNG versions of the Renault Logan seem to be just a couple of months away. The LPG version of the Logan was showcased at the Auto Expo 2008 in New Delhi.
If the rumors we hear are right, the LPG and CNG versions would be launched in October 2008. Price of the CNG and LPG versions could be anywhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,000 higher than the petrol version of the Renault Logan.
The LPG version of the Logan would be more accessible to customers across India, but AutoLPG is not as cheap as CNG. CNG, on the other hand, would be more economical, but availability is limited to the huge cities. Tough choice, there.
Mahindra-Renault has been working on improving the dealer network and hope that the new versions of the Logan would help them get closer to the segment leader Honda City.
Mahindra Renault has chose to enter the Nepal car market with its economy sedan, the Renault Logan. Mahindra Renault has has unveiled its Logan passenger car in Nepal through Agni Incorporated, the current distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal. Agni already distributes several Mahindra vehicles in Nepal including tractors.
Nepal too, like India, is a price conscious market – and Mahindra Renault believes that there is a excellent market there waiting to be tapped.
Two renault Logan models will be on sale in Nepal – the1.4 GLE Petrol sedan and the 1.5 DLS Diesel initially. The company is mulling over bringing more Logan variants into the country in the future.
The Logan 1.4 GLE Petrol is sold in India at a price of Rs 4.4 lakh ex-showroom and offers average fuel efficiency figures of around 15 kmpl. The Logan 1.5 DLS Diesel is sold at a price of Rs 6.5 lakh ex-showroom in India, and offers 19 kmpl highway mileage.
The Renault Logan offers a strong value proposition for India, and it is right for Nepal too. It is well built and sturdy, spacious, frugal, and service costs and parts are not highly priced. Those values should make the Logan a hit in Nepal.
There are other reasons why Mahindras would look at the Nepal car customers. For one, there is the long term vision for more exports from India. Then, there is the inflation and interest rate hikes in India, which have hit all car manufacturers in India, including Mahindra Renault, terribly. In 2008-2009 fiscal year so far, Renault Logan sales are at the 6000 mark, some 26 per cent less than the sales for the same period last year.
Meanwhile, the Mahindras are also foraying into more unfamiliar terrain. A couple of years after the Tatas went all the way to Botswana with its vehicles, and now Mahindra and Mahindra is also all set to enter the market in Botswana with its hugely successful Scorpio. It has been reported that the company will soon open its branch in Gaborne in Botswana and the Scorpios and also more models from the M&M stables will roll into that country. It is expected that the Scorpio will prove to be extremely well loved because of its low prices. In fact the company believes that the relatively cheap station 4 x 4 wagon will compete well with its rivals.
With their new versions, Mahindras are all set to rock the market in the coming couple of months. Lets keep the fingers cross to know what really comes out.
