Renault Sandero Hatchback may come to India

Though Indians have a penchant for small cars such as the Maruti 800, the Hyundai Santro or the i10, small family cars such as the Mahindra Logan have become somewhat popular. Mahindra has collaborated with Renault to get the car to India and it seems that this partnership will move to one more vehicle.
According to Indian newspaper, The Times of India, Renault is planning to get the Sandero to India. The carmaker from France will be using their collaboration with Mahindra to get the Sandero hatchback to India next year. They hope that this will use the Nashik plant’s excess capacity. Mahindra seems to be mum as the head of the automotive division, Pawan Goenka remarked, “Nothing has been decided as yet. Talks are at a preliminary stage.”
The Renault Sandero will be a special car for both the companies as it will be their first product in the segment that is called as “high-volume compact car”. But the hatchback will be built on the Logan platform. And yes, the Sandero is expected to come in the petrol and diesel versions. Let’s hope that besides the Renault Sandero, the French auto company also gets the Laguna to India.
