The Renault Lodgy MPV is all set for a national launch on the 9th of April 2015. Bookings for the Lodgy have already commenced at 50,000 INR.
The Renault Lodgy is a full size MPV, offering two seating configurations – 7 seat & 8 seat. The former gets a couple Captain’s Chairs in the second row, while the latter has to do with a Bench. The Lodgy’s modular seating allows as many as 56 seating configurations, while as much as 1861 liters of boot space can be extracted with the third row removed and the second row tumbled, as compared to just 207 liters with all the rows up.
Power comes from the familiar, Duster sourced 1.5-liter, K9K diesel engine. To be offered in two states of tune (110 PS and 85 PS), the Lodgy claims 21.04 km/l* for the 85 PS variant, while the more powerful 110 PS returns 19.98 km/l.* Notable features include dual air-conditioning, first-in-class cruise control and a large 7” multicolor touch-screen for multimedia and navigation – it also includes USB, Bluetooth and aux-in connectivity.
