For most Indian families buying a car is about making a choice that fits everybody’s needs, right from the budget, fuel efficiency, the creature features and comfort, because we love to go all in when we’re out enjoying our time with family.

And that is exactly what Renault India has taken care of in designing the Lodgy.

The French car maker has successfully made a mark in the automobile industry with its quest for constant innovation and improving the drive standards of the Indian cars. Now what comes as a pleasant surprise is besides innovation, Renault has also taken into consideration the Indian sentiments with its bold MPV, the Renault Lodgy.

And while we’re at it, you could also visit an authorized Renault car dealer in Hyderabad to know more about the different variants and price ranges being offered.

First things first, the space is what stands out about the Lodgy, literally. Even for a compact MPV, the Renault Lodgy has so much to offer in terms of space. Designed to be a 7 seater ( 8 possibly) the seats can be moulded into 56 different configurations, with 60:40 tumble and fold 2nd row seats and 50:50 split, tumble and fold 3 rd row seats.

Luxurious yet practically designed cabin, with lots of storage space and cubby holes, a 12V mobile charger with sockets on all three rows, efficient cooling technology with roof mounted ac vents on all the rows.

The premium dual tone gris-fume and beige interiors, chrome-finished AC Vents, piano black center console with chrome surround, leather-wrapped steering wheel with glossy metal finish, 3 pod instrument cluster with onboard trip computer, power windows with anti-pinch feature on driver’s side, chrome finished gear knob, premium alpaga beige quilted leather are just the beginning of an exhaustive list of design elements that the Lodgy boats of.

Now that we’ve established it can carry your family comfortably, let’s see how it pulls.

The Renault Lodgy comes with a powerful K9K engine;

Just a small sidestep - The K-Type engine is an evolution of the Energy engine, itself derived from the Cléon-Fonte engine in which a hemispherical head incorporating a camshaft driven by a toothed timing belt was fitted. The K9K is a family of straight-4 turbocharged diesel engines co-developed by Nissan and Renault. The turbochargers used with this engine are provided by Garrett and BorgWarner.

The 1.5 L diesel engine, already tried and tested on the Renault Duster, comes with a 110 ps 6 speed transmission gear box, that picks up just as efficient as it brakes. The pickup and feedback system of the Renault Lodgy is one that you can always rely on. The fuel efficiency and cruising ability of the Lodgy have also been proven time and again.
