The agreements were signed in Vientiane on November 10, 2026, under the theme ‘Green Alliance Frontier’. The event also marked three years since Green SM started its electric taxi operations in Laos.

10 companies join hands with Green SM

The company has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the following partners:

• Banking: VietinBank Laos, Joint Development Bank Public, MB Bank Laos and Sacombank Laos.
• Telecommunications and payments: Unitel, ETL and Lao Telecoms (M-Money).
• Travel and media: Good Media (Bawanli).
• Hospitality: Muong Thanh Luxury Vientiane Hotel and Latsavong Wanda Vista Hotel.

Through these agreements, Green SM will explore ways to connect its services with the platforms and customer networks of these companies. This could make booking electric taxis easier for people who already use their banking, payment and telecom services.

Hotels and travel services to get more options

The hotel partnerships will look at providing transportation facilities for hotel guests, tourists and corporate customers. This will give visitors more ways to arrange local travel through services connected to their hotels.

The company will also work with media partners on joint promotions and campaigns to increase awareness of electric mobility in Laos.

Some of the planned activities include:

• Special offers for customers using partner services.
• Connecting electric taxi services with hotel networks.
• Joint promotional campaigns with media companies.
• Better access to mobility services through existing digital platforms.

Green SM completes 4.6 million rides in Laos

The company has completed nearly 4.6 million rides in Laos during its first three years of operations. The latest agreements are expected to expand its reach by connecting electric taxi services with businesses that already have an established customer base.

An artwork called Frontier Mark was also presented during the signing ceremony. It combines the individual marks of all 10 partners into one design, representing their shared participation in the project.

Speaking about the partnerships, Le Thi Ngoc Linh, Deputy CEO of Mobility Services Operation at Green SM, said that cooperation between businesses from different sectors would help make green mobility more accessible to local communities.

With these agreements, Green SM is looking to build a wider network for its electric taxi services in Laos. The partnerships will also give residents and visitors more convenient ways to access electric transportation.

The SUV has already been spotted on Indian roads in a covered form. However, the latest sighting gives a clearer picture of the model that BYD could introduce in the Indian market. The company has not announced its launch date or India-specific specifications yet.

Exterior Design Details

The test vehicle carries an EV badge on the tailgate, confirming that it is the fully electric version. The international market also gets a plug-in hybrid version of the Atto 2, but the Indian test vehicle seen in these pictures is an EV.

The SUV gets a fairly clean design with a few sporty elements. Some of the visible exterior details include:

• Connected LED tail-lamps at the rear.
• A roof-mounted spoiler.
• Dual-tone rear bumper with silver accents.
• Black and silver cladding around the wheel arches and door sills.
• Dual-tone alloy wheels.
• Electric-release door handles.
• Charging port on the front fender.

The Atto 2 has a compact SUV shape and measures around 4.3 metres in length. Its dimensions make it suitable for the midsize electric SUV category.

Battery, Range and Performance

Internationally, BYD sells the Atto 2 EV with two battery pack options. Both versions get a front-mounted electric motor, although the power and torque figures differ.

The larger battery version has a claimed WLTP range of up to 430km. BYD also claims a 0-100kph time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 170kph.

Charging options include:

• 11kW AC charging support.
• Up to 155kW DC fast charging.

It is not yet known which battery pack will be offered in India.

Interior and Features

The international-spec Atto 2 gets a simple dashboard layout with a large touchscreen in the centre. The infotainment system measures 12.8 inches and can rotate between portrait and landscape positions. There is also an 8.8-inch digital instrument display.

Other features include a panoramic sunroof, six-speaker audio system, 50W wireless phone charger, 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality.

The India-spec feature list could be different, and BYD is yet to confirm the equipment.

Expected Rivals and India Launch

In India, the BYD Atto 2 will enter a competitive electric SUV segment. Its potential rivals include the MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, VinFast VF6, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella. The Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6 and Tata Sierra EV will also be part of the wider competition.

BYD has not shared an official launch date or pricing details.

Engine and Gearbox

At the heart of the Evo variant is KTM’s latest 1,350cc LC8 liquid-cooled V-twin engine, the same unit used in the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. The engine produces 187PS and 145Nm of torque.

The motor is housed in a steel trellis frame and works with a single-sided swingarm. One of the major changes is the introduction of an AMT gearbox.

The transmission offers two operating options:

• Automatic mode: The motorcycle handles gear changes without requiring the rider to operate the clutch or shift gears manually.
• Manual mode: Riders can select gears themselves when they want more control over the motorcycle.

This setup is a major change over the standard 1390 Super Duke GT, which uses a conventional manual transmission.

Suspension and Hardware

KTM has equipped the Super Duke GT Evo with new WP Apex semi-active suspension. At the front, it gets a 48mm fork with a patented thru-rod design. This setup is claimed to reduce weight and improve feedback from the front wheel.

The rear uses a linked monoshock with electronically adjustable damping and hydraulic preload adjustment.

Other hardware changes include:

• Lighter 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends.
• A claimed 1.2kg reduction in unsprung weight compared to the standard model.
• Michelin Power 6 tyres.
• Steel trellis frame and single-sided swingarm.

Features and Braking Setup

The 1390 Super Duke GT Evo gets an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen display with offline map navigation as standard. Its electronic package includes ride modes, traction control, a quickshifter and ABS.

KTM has also revised the lighting setup. The motorcycle gets cornering lights, daytime running lights and a redesigned headlight.

For touring, the Evo gets an adjustable windscreen, a repositionable handlebar and redesigned rider and pillion seats. These changes should make it easier to adjust the riding position for longer journeys.

Braking hardware includes Brembo Stylema four-piston calipers at the front, working with twin 320mm discs. The rear gets a two-piston caliper with a 240mm disc.

India Launch

KTM has not announced an India launch for the new 1390 Super Duke GT Evo. The motorcycle is expected to reach international dealerships in early 2027, although availability will depend on individual markets.

The Austrian brand has previously brought large-capacity motorcycles to India. Hence, an India launch cannot be ruled out, but there is no official confirmation yet.

Denza is BYD’s premium vehicle brand. The Z9 GT has a sporty shooting brake body, while the D9 is a three-row MPV with a cabin designed around passenger comfort.

Denza D9: Exterior

The D9 has a tall body, an upright front and a large patterned grille-like panel. Its lighting package includes dual-pod LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lamps and a full-LED setup. The lower bumper gets an additional set of LED lights.

Other exterior features include:

• Automatic headlights, welcome lights and LED charging-port lights
• 18-inch alloy wheels with 235/60 tyres
• Powered sliding doors with soft-close function
• Full-width LED tail-lamp bar
• Powered tailgate with Denza lettering

The final India-spec equipment list is yet to be announced.

Denza D9: Interior and features

The international version of the Denza D9 gets a seven-seat cabin with a 2+2+3 layout. It features leather upholstery, wood inserts and suede trims, while the second row gets individual captain seats. Both the first and second rows offer ventilation and massage functions. The driver’s seat has eight-way electric adjustment, while the front passenger seat gets four-way adjustment.

The dashboard houses a 15.6-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument display. The MPV also gets a 14-speaker, 775W Dynaudio sound system. Other features include:

• Triple-zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof
• Three 50W wireless charging pads, with one at the front and two at the rear
• Rear touchscreen controls and entertainment screens
• NFC key and ambient lighting
• 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitor and TPMS
• Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)

The equipment list for the India-spec Denza D9 is yet to be announced. The features offered here are based on the international model and may differ for India.

Battery, range and performance

Internationally, the Denza D9 is available with a 103.36kWh BYD Blade LFP battery. Buyers get two drivetrain options, with the FWD version producing 308bhp and the AWD version developing 368bhp.

The global model supports 11kW AC charging and up to 200kW DC fast charging. It also gets a 6.6kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, which allows the battery to power external electrical equipment. However, Denza is yet to reveal the battery, motor and range details for the India-spec model.

Denza D9 and Z9 GT: How are they different?

Although both models will be introduced in India together, they serve very different purposes. The D9 is a large, three-row electric MPV with a seven-seat layout. Its cabin space and rear-seat features make it suitable for family use as well as chauffeur-driven travel.

The Z9 GT, on the other hand, gets a sporty shooting brake design and has a more performance-oriented character. The two models will mark Denza’s entry into the Indian market, with their debut scheduled for November 13.

Expected price and launch

The Denza D9 is expected to arrive in India as a completely built unit (CBU). Its estimated ex-showroom price could fall between Rs 80 lakh and Rs 1 crore, although the company has not confirmed the pricing.

The electric MPV is expected to compete with the MG M9, while the Toyota Vellfire will also be among the premium MPVs buyers may consider. Denza is yet to announce India-specific equipment, bookings and powertrain details. These details are expected to become clearer at the November 13 debut.

Unveiled in Abu Dhabi, the Altior brings together an imposing design, a spacious four-seat cabin and a range of advanced technologies. It also gets four independently controlled electric motors and a claimed driving range of over 1,000km on the CLTC cycle. With its coach-style rear doors, handcrafted cabin details and several comfort features, the Yangwang Altior is clearly designed to compete in the ultra-luxury segment.

Exterior: Large proportions and coach doors

The Altior takes inspiration from the ancient Chinese ceremonial bronze vessel called a ding. It has a short front overhang and character lines running 4.8 metres along the body.

Key specifications:

The front grille has individually polished elements around the oracle-bone-script emblem. Its lighting system uses 12 elements that light up in sequence as the owner approaches.

The sedan gets 21-inch wheels in three designs with 275/45 tyres. The front doors open up to 80 degrees, while the rear coach doors open to 90 degrees. Each door also houses an umbrella.

Interior: A four-seat luxury cabin

The Altior has a four-seat layout and a wide dashboard display. Materials include semi-aniline leather, natural wood, wool mats and metal switches.

Yellow Hetian jade features around the air vents. The seats get Suzhou silk embroidery inspired by Chinese designs. Rear passengers have two zero-gravity seats with four ball-shaped massage heads.

Other features include:

• 39-speaker Dynaudio Platinum Evidence sound system
• Powered 21.4-inch overhead screen with screen-sharing support
• Dual sunroofs and multi-zone climate control
• Wireless chargers for rear passengers
• Front and rear refrigerators, including a 5.5-litre rear unit with cooling and warming
• 532-litre boot

Relaxation mode adjusts the seats, leg rests, sunblinds, lighting, sound and fragrance.

Powertrain, range and technology

The Altior uses BYD’s e4 platform, with four independently controlled electric motors, one for each wheel. It adjusts torque more than 100 times per second. BYD says this can help maintain stability during situations such as a high-speed tyre blowout.

A second-generation Blade Battery offers a claimed range of over 1,000km on the CLTC cycle. Flash Charging is supported, but charging figures are not announced.

It also gets tank-turn, emergency flotation and DiSus active body control. God’s Eye A provides city and highway navigation and parking assistance.

Executive and Bespoke editions

The Altior will be offered in two versions:

• Executive: The standard version with luxury equipment.
• Bespoke: A limited-run version with unique colours and details. Its first theme, Shanhe Dingyun, gets a brown and gold exterior and a jade-inspired cabin.

Price and availability

BYD has not announced the Altior’s price or confirmed the markets where it will be sold. Power and charging figures are yet to be shared.

The Yangwang Altior combines a large electric platform, extensive rear-seat equipment and design details drawn from Chinese heritage. Its final market positioning will become clearer once BYD announces its sales plans for the global luxury car market.

Racing driver Marc Basseng was behind the wheel. He had also driven the car during its earlier speed run in Germany.

The record attempt

The run took place on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Road in Abu Dhabi. Authorities closed a 10km stretch of the highway, which offered a straight section of around 7km for the high-speed run.

The first attempts on October 31 saw the car reach 490kmph. Engineers then made changes before the next run. These included:

• Increasing the rear wing angle to add downforce.
• Revising the suspension rebound settings.
• Adjusting tyre pressure.
• Checking battery and motor temperatures.

The final speed was recorded using a calibrated VBOX system, with the data checked by an FIA official. Guinness recognised the result in two categories: the highest one-way speed by a production car and by an electric production car. This was a one-way record attempt, not a two-way average speed test.

How is the U9 Xtreme different?

The Yangwang U9 Xtreme is a high-performance version of the standard Yangwang U9. While the regular U9 is known for its DiSus-X body control system, which can make the car jump and perform controlled movements, the Xtreme gets major changes to its powertrain, battery system, tyres and aerodynamics.

It uses four independent electric motors, each producing 555kW. Together, they deliver a peak output of around 2,977bhp. Each motor can spin at up to 30,000rpm. The car is built around BYD’s 1,200V e4 platform, while its torque vectoring system can adjust power at each wheel more than 100 times every second.

Battery, suspension and design

The U9 Xtreme gets an 80kWh lithium iron phosphate Blade battery with a 30C discharge rate. Its high-voltage electrical system supplies power to all four motors during demanding runs.

The car also uses BYD’s DiSus-X active suspension, which can generate up to 50kN of vertical force in 120 milliseconds. Giti developed special semi-slick tyres for the record attempt.

Its exterior gets a front splitter, a dual-channel bonnet, a tall swan-neck rear wing and a large rear diffuser. These parts help manage airflow and keep the car stable at high speeds.

Production and other records

The U9 Xtreme has also completed the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes and 59.157 seconds. BYD will produce only 30 units worldwide. A production-spec example has been displayed, while the company has started work on customer specifications and production schedules.

Why Has Volkswagen Delisted the Tiguan R-Line?

The Tiguan R-Line was a five-seat premium SUV positioned near the top of Volkswagen’s Indian range. Its imported status meant that it was priced close to the larger Tayron R-Line, which is locally assembled.

The Tayron also offers more cabin space and two seating configurations. Volkswagen has further introduced the five-seat Tayron Life at Rs 41.99 lakh, while the Tayron R-Line is priced at Rs 47.74 lakh.

The two SUVs had overlapping price points, although Volkswagen has not confirmed whether this played a role in the Tiguan’s removal.

Engine and Performance

The Tiguan R-Line was powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 201bhp and 320Nm of torque. It came with a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.

The SUV also featured adaptive dampers, allowing drivers to select different suspension settings for ride comfort and handling.

Its powertrain specifications are listed below:

Features and Safety Equipment

The cabin featured a large 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. The SUV also offered:

• Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
• Eight-speaker sound system
• Wireless mobile charger
• Three-zone climate control
• Panoramic sunroof
• Multi-colour ambient lighting
• Nine airbags and Level 2 ADAS
• ABS with EBD and electronic stability control
• Hill descent control and hill start assist
• ISOFIX child seat mounts and tyre pressure monitoring system

However, the SUV missed out on powered and ventilated front seats.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line vs Tayron

The Tayron uses the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, seven-speed DSG gearbox and all-wheel-drive setup. However, it offers a larger body and more seating flexibility.

Prices are ex-showroom. Tiguan price is its last listed price.

Volkswagen’s SUV Line-up in India

With the Tiguan R-Line delisted, Volkswagen’s Indian SUV range now consists of the Taigun and Tayron.

The Taigun is the brand’s mass-market SUV and gets two turbo-petrol engine options:

• 1.0-litre turbo-petrol producing 115PS and 178Nm.
• 1.5-litre turbo-petrol producing 150PS and 250Nm.

Transmission options include a six-speed manual, an eight-speed automatic and a seven-speed DSG, depending on the engine.

The Tayron sits at the premium end of the range. It is locally assembled and offers five-seat and seven-seat versions.

The Tiguan R-Line’s removal marks a change in Volkswagen’s Indian SUV range, with the Tayron now serving buyers looking for a larger premium SUV from the brand.

During the rigorous evaluation, the XUV 3XO ZNG registered an Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) score of 29.36 out of 32 points and a Child Occupant Protection (COP) score of 45 out of 49 points. The vehicle comes factory-equipped with more than 35 standard safety features, including six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and dedicated ISOFIX child-seat anchors.

Petrol vs CNG: Bharat NCAP Scores

Both versions have received five stars, but there is a difference in their child occupant protection scores.

The CNG version has scored two additional points in child occupant protection. The improved score also applies to XUV 3XO vehicles manufactured from VIN MA1NS2NVPS2B98575 onwards. Owners can contact a Mahindra dealership to check their vehicle’s VIN.

Adult Occupant Protection Results

The XUV 3XO ZNG performed well in the frontal and side crash assessments. In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the driver’s head, neck, pelvis and thighs received good protection. Chest protection was rated adequate.

The driver’s tibiae received adequate protection on one side and marginal protection on the other. The front passenger received good protection across all assessed body regions.

In the side movable deformable barrier test, the SUV offered good protection to all assessed body regions. It recorded the same level of protection in the side pole impact test.

Child Occupant Protection Results

The SUV scored 45 out of 49 points in this category. Its results include:

• 8 out of 8 points in the frontal crash test for the 18-month-old child dummy.
• 4 out of 4 points in the side crash test for the same dummy.
• Full points in both crash tests for the three-year-old child dummy.
• 24 out of 24 points in the dynamic assessment.
• 12 out of 12 points in the child restraint system installation test.

The vehicle assessment score increased from 7 to 9 points, taking the total score to 45.

Safety Features and CNG Protection

Mahindra offers more than 35 standard safety features with the XUV 3XO ZNG. These include:

• Six airbags
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• ISOFIX child-seat mounts
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
• Reversing camera
• Integrated CNG leak detection system

The CNG system can detect a gas leak and automatically switch the engine to petrol mode.

Engine, Mileage and Boot Space

The XUV 3XO ZNG uses a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with a factory-fitted CNG system. It produces 82kW of power and 200Nm of torque in both petrol and CNG modes. Mahindra claims a fuel efficiency of 24.7km/kg.

The SUV gets an underfloor twin-cylinder CNG setup, which helps retain 270 litres of usable boot space. It also retains the spare wheel underneath the vehicle.

The five-star result gives the XUV 3XO ZNG strong safety credentials in the compact CNG SUV segment. Its scores also show that the CNG version has delivered the same adult occupant protection score as the petrol model.

The announcement was made by Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra’s Auto and Farm sectors, during the company’s Q2 FY27 results briefing. While Mahindra has not revealed the names of all five products, the three upcoming models have already been seen in concept form or during road testing.

Mahindra Vision S

The production version of the Vision S is expected to be Mahindra’s first model based on its new NU_IQ platform. The concept was shown in August 2025, and test vehicles have since been spotted on Indian roads. The SUV is expected to arrive by the first quarter of 2027.

Vision S will be a sub-four-metre SUV and is likely to sit above the XUV 3XO in Mahindra’s range. The NU_IQ platform supports petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains, although the engine options for the first production model are yet to be confirmed.

Spy images and the design patent point to a boxy shape, an upright front, squared wheel arches, short overhangs and muscular body panels. Other details seen on test vehicles include flush-fitting door handles, a panoramic sunroof and a spare wheel mounted on the tailgate.

Expected features include:

• Ventilated front seats
• Wireless phone charging
• A 360-degree camera
• Level 2 ADAS
• A large touchscreen and digital driver display

The production cabin could also get a two-spoke steering wheel and a touchscreen similar to the unit used in the Thar range. Mahindra has not confirmed the final equipment list.

Mahindra BE 07

The second expected launch is the BE 07 electric SUV. It will join Mahindra’s INGLO-based electric range, which currently includes the BE 6, XEV 9e and XEV 9S. The BE 07 is expected to reach showrooms in the first quarter of 2027.

Test vehicles have given a few clues about its design and cabin. The SUV is expected to have a sharp profile, frameless doors and pop-out flush door handles. Spy shots have also shown a triple-screen dashboard layout.

The BE 07 could use the 59kWh and 79kWh battery packs offered with the BE 6. These options are yet to be confirmed for the production model. Other expected equipment includes:

• Ventilated seats and multi-colour ambient lighting
• A digital inside rear-view mirror
• A premium audio system
• Automatic parking assistance
• Level 2+ ADAS
• Adrenox connected-car features

The BE 07 is expected to compete with electric SUVs such as the Tata Harrier EV, BYD Atto 3 and VinFast VF7.

Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyler

The third model is the Scorpio Lifestyler, a lifestyle pickup based on the Global Pik Up concept revealed in 2023. The brand showcased the pickup’s production version in August. It shares its ladder-frame platform with the Scorpio N and has been spotted testing in India as well as overseas markets.

Mahindra has confirmed that the pickup will cost less than Rs 19.79 lakh (ex-showroom) at launch. It is expected to arrive by June 2027. The company also plans to sell it in international markets.

The Lifestyler is expected to use powertrain options related to the Scorpio N. These could include the 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines, with manual and automatic gearbox options. Four-wheel drive could also be offered, although final specifications have not been announced.

Its separate cargo bed, upright front design and rugged body-on-frame construction will set it apart from Mahindra’s regular SUVs.

What’s More? Two Other Launches Planned

Mahindra’s first-half 2027 schedule includes two more products apart from these three passenger vehicles. The company has confirmed an update to an existing model, but has not named the vehicle or shared details about the changes.

A new light commercial vehicle is also planned for launch by June 2027. Mahindra has not revealed its name or specifications yet.

Mahindra to Increase Production Capacity

Mahindra is also preparing its factories for the new models. The company’s combined monthly production capacity for SUVs and EVs stood at around 68,000 units in September 2026. It plans to raise this to 82,000 units by the end of FY27, including capacity for 70,000 ICE SUVs and 12,000 electric vehicles.

The Chakan plant is expected to receive an additional 10,000 units of monthly capacity for NU_IQ-based models. This could take the company’s total capacity to around 92,000 units per month by March 2028.

Mahindra is developing a new manufacturing facility in Nagpur as well. The first phase is planned to add capacity for 20,000 vehicles per month by September 2029, followed by another 20,000 units by September 2030.

The first unit was handed over to T Krishna Gopal, CEO of Eduzi Academy, by Francisco Hidalgo, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Renault Group India. According to company executives, Hyderabad and its surrounding corporate hubs represent a primary volume market for the advanced strong-hybrid SUV.

Renault Duster Hybrid: Variant Distribution and Retail Pricing

The Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 enters the Indian premium utility segment in three distinct trim configurations. The introductory ex-showroom pricing structure is detailed below:

These introductory prices are applicable for deliveries completed by December 31, 2026. Customers who hold the Rs 21,000 R Pass have been offered priority deliveries.

Hybrid Powertrain

The mechanical core of the new Duster shifts away from small-capacity turbo units, deploying a highly advanced petrol-electric architecture. The setup combines a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder petrol engine with two specialized electric motors and a compact 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The combined system produces 160PS and works with Renault’s multi-mode automatic transmission.

Here are some key figures of the hybrid SUV:

• Engine: 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol
• Electric motors: Two
• Battery capacity: 1.4kWh
• Combined power: 160PS
• Claimed mileage: 29km/l
• Claimed driving range: Up to 1,400km

Renault claims that the Duster Hybrid can run in electric mode for up to 80% of city driving under suitable conditions. The battery charges through regenerative braking and the petrol engine, so there is no need to plug the SUV into an external charger.

Renault Opens Its Biggest Hyderabad Showroom

Alongside the start of deliveries, Renault has inaugurated its new’R showroom in HITEC City, Hyderabad. Spread across 7,000 sq ft, the facility has space to display eight vehicles and is the brand’s largest showroom in the city.

This is Renault India’s 30th new’R showroom. The facility has been opened in partnership with VVC Group, which already operates two Renault workshops and two other showrooms in Hyderabad.

The company is also upgrading its dealership network under the new’R format. It plans to upgrade all 73 showrooms across 24 major Indian cities by July 2027. These cities account for nearly half of Renault India’s business, and 30 outlets have already received the new format.
