French car maker Renault is planning to roll-out its popular Sandero in the Indian market by the end of year 2011. The
Sandero model will be shelved in the B+ segment of cars and is expected to carry a price tag of up to Rs 5 lakh.
Same as company’s previous offering Logan, the Sandero hatchback is much bigger (length 4.02m) in size when
compared to other popular cars of this price segment. In addition to this, Sandero brings a massive boot space of 320
liters, more than any other car of this segment.
The Sandero model will probably be launched in both petrol and diesel versions, powered by 1.2L and 1.5L engines,
respectively.
The car is available in a number of world markets including Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, Colombia, Russia and
Kazakhstan. The hatchback has been designed to meet the safety, performance and emission standards of European
market, which means it will come compatible with the Euro-V emission norms. However, in order to keep Sandero’s
price competitive, Renault may decide to shed some luxury features from its Indian version. After its launch in the
Indian market, Sandero will be fighting for space with the popular B+ segment of cars including Maruti Swift,
Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, Nissan Micra, Hyundai i20 and upcoming Honda Brio.
