Renault and Nissan announce the launch of four new products in India: two 5-seater SUVs and their 7-seater versions.
This joint venture aims to use the heavily localised CMF-B platform to create offerings tailored specifically for Indian consumers.
Platform and Design
The upcoming SUVs from Renault and Nissan will be built upon the versatile CMF-B platform, known for its adaptability and performance. Drawing inspiration from global models, these vehicles will feature a blend of cutting-edge design elements and practical functionality.
While the Renault Duster is speculated to make a comeback with its CMF-B-based five-seater variant, both SUVs will showcase distinctive styling cues, including redesigned headlamps and revamped front bumpers.
Seven-Seater Variants
Recognizing the demand for three-row midsize SUVs in India, Renault and Nissan are set to introduce seven-seater iterations of their respective models. These variants will offer additional seating capacity and are expected to incorporate unique design elements to distinguish themselves in the competitive market landscape.
Launch Timeline and Competition
Although specific launch dates have not been confirmed, the Renault Duster and Nissan’s five-seater SUV are anticipated to debut first, with their seven-seater counterparts following suit. The manufacturers have affirmed their commitment to introducing the products soon. As these SUVs enter the market, they will face stiff competition from established players such as Hyundai, Kia, Skoda, Volkswagen, Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Honda, Citroen, and MG.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Renault and Nissan marks a significant milestone in the Indian automotive industry, promising consumers a fresh lineup of SUVs tailored to their preferences and requirements. The upcoming Renault Duster and Nissan SUV are poised to make a lasting impression in the fiercely competitive market segment.
