Big New Year plans from Renault India - new Duster, Kwid and an all-new MPV coming

French car maker Renault is betting big on the Indian car market. India is touted to become the third largest car market in the world soon, and in keeping with the expectations, it is growing at a rapid pace. Hence, the global auto majors are all very keen on reinforcing their position in India, and Renault is no exception. Year 2019 is knocking at the door, and Renault India is ready with big plans for the New Year with not one, but three car launches.

Renault is going to launch the 2019 updated Kwid, 2019 all new Duster and a brand new MPV model, which is still known by its codename RBC. Renault has already announced that the company is aiming to launch an all-new model in India every year as part of its development strategy for the country. The brand new Renault MPV is expected to launch first in India in 2019, followed by the Renault Duster facelift launch, while the Renault Kwid facelift is expected to come during the festive season of 2019. 

The codenamed Renault RBC MPV has been testing in India for quite some time now. It is going to be a sub-4 metre MPV model and is based on the CMF-A platform. Going by the several spy pictures of the RBC, it can be said that it will get LED daytime running lights and a brand new grille design. The RBC is likely to share the 1.0L engine with the Kwid hatchback, but is expected to be tune to offer better power figures.
