New Renault Models Coming to INDIA Soon.

noreply@blogger.com (Saumil Bhavsar) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:02:00 +0000

Renault's solo product strategy in India soon change. The company plans a slew of launches by 2010. Carlos Ghosn may be looking for another Indian partner.

Renault India plans to introduce cars across all segments. Having acquired 2.2 % market share with just one product, the Logan, the company now wants to bring out more cars from its Chennai plant.

"We will launch 4-5 in 15-16 months one after the other. We will have a mix of all segments- big and small", said Sylvain Bilaine, MD, Renault India.

Renault's Sedan and Sandero could be a good fit for the Indian market. It has been successful in South Africa, Brazil, and will soon be launched in Europe. Two completely built units, or CBUs, the Twingo and Laguna, which were displayed at the Auto Expo, may also be driven in.

These new launches may be marketed through the Renault- M&M JV but a final decision is yet to be taken.

Even the marketing and branding of Renault-Nissan- Bajaj's

small car will be decided in a couple of months. While the small car plans are moving ahead, Renault's LCV plans are still on hold. Interestingly, Renault is open to even more partners. So, after Mahindra and Bajaj, do not be surprised if Carlos Ghosn goes looking for suitors again.

The cars were flagged off by Mr. Kapil Mathur, Additional Director, Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) from Amirag Farms, SG Road, Ahmedabad. The event format saw existing customers drive their cars on a pre-determined route. The basis of this exercise was to ascertain the best fuel consumption figures.

The route for the Logan Drivathon was about 61 Km with regular traffic conditions and took about one hour to cover. The Drivathon passed through the Mehsana Highway before culminating at Shankuj Water Park. All drivers were given a route map for navigation and all vehicles had to compulsorily fill up their tanks to the maximum before they were flagged-off. Fuel was filled in the presence of neutral marshals to prevent any misreporting of mileage figures.

Mahindra Renault officials present on the occasion included Mr. Sunil Lohani - Zonal Head, Gujarat and Rajasthan. All participants were treated to breakfast, tea and cookies. There was also a fun and entertainment programme organized after the mileage rally, followed by lunch and a prize distribution ceremony which saw prizes being given out to high mileage winning cars.

The past one year has been very successful for MRPL with its maiden product, the Logan emerging as a strong competitor in the Indian passenger car space with a market share of 12% in the C segment. The Logan has also won several prestigious accolades from consumers as well as the media.

The Mahindra Renault Logan was launched in April 2007 and since then has performed exceedingly well despite stiff competition and tough market conditions. India’s first wide body passenger car has also received several distinctions since its launch eight months ago. With respect to product performance, the Logan outclassed all its competitors in the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2007 India Initial Quality Study.

Logan overtakes City, Verna and SX4 in Feb7 Mar, 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Saumil Bhavsar) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:00:00 +0000

NEW DELHI: Utility vehicle major Mahindra & Mahindra’s (M&M) foray into the sedan segment is bearing fruit. It sold 2,753 units of Logan in February, claiming the second position in the segment, leaving behind its traditional mid-segment rival sedans like Honda City, Hyundai Verna and the Maruti Suzuki SX4.

Tata Motors’ Indigo sedan became the highest seller with sales of around 3,322 units in February on account of huge demand of its compact sedan launched in February, which avails concessional excise duty. It is priced at Rs 4.3 lakh, the lowest for any sedan, which had pushed its demand and sales last month. Honda had sold 2,310 units of City, Hyundai has sold 2,132 units of Verna while Maruti Suzuki has sold 1,953 units of SX4 in February.

Logan, after successive pricing and re-positioning in the market, now comes for Rs 4.5 lakh for petrol and Rs 5.75 lakh for diesel variant. According to analysts, it has posted a stronger performance due to high demand in commercial fleet operations and customers upgrading from the premium hatchback segment.

Mahindra Renault managing director Rajesh Jejurikar told ET, “Logan’s application in commercial fleet operations is a big booster for us. It has helped us to give the highest numbers since its launch. We have given the customers the options to own a big car at the price of a hatchback, which has been accepted well. Logan is emerging as a strongest contender in the mid-size car segment. There is huge a demand for the diesel variant which forms around 65% of our total sales due to its high fuel efficiency and now comes with a waiting period in some markets.”

The company had sold more than 22,500 units of Logan, since its launch in May last year. While it has ruled out any hatchback or a compact variant (under 4-metre length like the Indigo sedan) which is now taxed at concessional 12% excise (after the budget), against 24% for all other sedans, it will soon be launching a new brand campaign for Logan.

“We shall be informing the customers of the high-quality of this international car and its phenomenal fuel efficiency. With one of cheapest sedan, we are looking at significant increase in the market-share in the mid-size car segment,” Mr Jejurikar said. Logan’s improved sales in February increase the company’s market share to 16.8% against January’s 12% in mid-size car segment. The company fared well on its flagship model Scorpio too.

LOGAN'S THE NUMBER 1!! ONCE AGAIN!! (J D POWER)

noreply@blogger.com (Saumil Bhavsar) — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 09:16:00 +0000

J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports:

Honda City, Honda CR-V, Mahindra-Renault Logan, Maruti Swift and Toyota Innova Also Rank Highest in Their Respective Segments

The study, which serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality measured at two to six months of ownership, has been completely redesigned for 2007 to provide manufacturers with deeper insights and more actionable information to improve problem determination and drive product improvement. The redesigned IQS now examines more than 200 problem symptoms in two distinct categories—quality of design and quality of production—across eight vehicle components: vehicle exterior; driving experience; features, controls and displays; audio, entertainment and navigation; seats; heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC); vehicle interior and engine and transmission. Overall quality performance is based on both design quality and production quality problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), with lower scores indicating a lower rate of problem incidences and higher vehicle quality.

New to the study rankings in 2007 are the premium compact and SUV segments. In the premium compact segment, the Maruti Swift (116 PP100) ranks highest, while the new Honda CR-V (50 PP100) tops the SUV segment. In the entry midsize segment, the newly launched Mahindra-Renault Logan ranks highest with 65 PP100, while in the MUV/MPV segment, the Toyota Innova (111 PP100) ranks highest for a third consecutive year.

The study finds that initial quality of new vehicles in India averages 173 PP100 in 2007, with more than one-half (54%) of new-vehicle owners reporting at least one problem within the first six months of ownership. Engine-and transmission-related problems are the most frequently reported, followed by problems related to vehicle exterior and driving experience. Together, these three problem categories comprise two-thirds of the total number of vehicle problems experienced in India. Among all problem symptoms covered in the study, excessive fuel consumption remains the most frequent customer-reported problem.

The 2007 India Initial Quality Study (IQS), now in its 11th year, is based on evaluations from nearly 6,000 owners who purchased a new vehicle between November 2006 and July 2007. The study includes 43 vehicle models covering 11 makes. The study was fielded from May to September 2007 in 15 cities across India.

noreply@blogger.com (Saumil Bhavsar) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:55:00 +0000

New Delhi (PTI): Mahindra & Mahindra's (M&M) sedan Logan, which hit the Indian roads some six months back, has been named among the 16 best cars not sold in America by a leading US magazine.

In the list of 'The Best Cars Not Sold in America', compiled by BusinessWeek in its latest edition, Logan is the only Indian car along side 15 others being sold in the non-American markets.

Pointing out that Logan is originally a model from Romanian automaker Dacia, the magazine noted, "Mahindra and Mahindra would probably love to export cars to this country (US) some day, but that day is probably several years away."

Dacia is part of Renault which was bailed out of the American market way back in 1986.
Most of the other cars named in the list are from Europe and Japan, such as Opel Zafira, Peugeot 308, Renault Scenic, Citroen C3 Pluriel, Alfa Romeo Spider, Ford Focus, Smart for Two and Mercedes-Benz A Class.

The list also includes a Chinese car Cherry QQ, Nissan Pino (Japan), Holden VE Ute (Australia), Citroen C-Crosser, SEAT Altea Freetrack and Alfa Romeo 8C.

Mumbai : The C-segment is buzzing with choice in the car market. Here are the contenders - Mahindra Renault Logan 1.6, the Ford Fiesta 1.4 and the Chevrolet Aveo 1.4. If you are confused about which car is the right one for you, then it's time to clear the air.

The Logan does come with a 1.4 engine which is way cheaper than anything else in this comparison. So, it would definitely make that one the value for money package.
But the 1.6 scores better because it's in the right price category. With the Logan 1.6, it matches the 1.4. So, what you're getting is a better engine, better acceleration figures at the price of a 1.4 engine.

This car is extremely spacious and it has a large boot, which is a plus point, especially for the Indian market. The engine is refined and plus it handles well. This car is quite an all-rounder and it's really tough to pin any shortcomings on this car.

But the Logan makes up for that with a boot that is as big as the Civic's and has space enough to match a Corolla and it's 85 bhp, 1.6 litre dutiful engine seems a steal at the price.

If you want to combine it all (Driving pleasure, Refinement, Space, Comfort) and luxury but want cracking value for money, then close your eyes and go in for the Logan.
