Renault to Launch a Small Car B58
Posted on July 26th 2011Welcome back!
Within hours of Maruti Suzuki announcing about their plans to launch an upgraded version of their flagship hatchback Swift, Nissan and Renault have started their preparations to give their rival a very tough competition. 
Leaving the Logan fiasco behind, which was produced in a joint venture with Mahindra and Mahindra, Renault has reentered the Indian automobile market with the launch of the luxury sedan Fluence. The company has a target of setting up over 100 dealerships across 75 cities by 2012. The date coincides with the launch of the company’s small car B58, Renault plans to unveil the car in the 2012 Auto Expo.
Although the company has not revealed anything about the car yet, it is speculated that the car will be based on the Nissan V platform, which is the same platform that supports Nissan Almera, Nissan Micra and Nissan Sunny. The buzz is that the car will have the same engine as Micra, a 1.2 litre petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel engine. The car will be designed at the company’s Mumbai design studio, and it is likely to have looks like the Maruti Wagon-R. The French auto giant has refused to comment any further on the design or the technical specifications of the car.
It is evident that the car will be pitted against market leader Maruti Suzuki’s Swift, Toyota’s Etios Liva and Hyundai’s flagship hatchback i10 and i20. The car is expected to offer a similar engine horse power as well as mileage as that of the above mentioned cars, therefore it is a matter of speculation as to what new features will be offered with the Renault B58.
The French auto giant is vying to broaden its horizons in the Indian automobile market, which presently only includes the premium sedan Fluence. Expressing their urgency to establish themselves in the Indian automobile market, Renault India Sales and Marketing Vice President Len Curran told reporters that Renault B58 will be designed to suit Indian roads and customers. With the Indian automobile markets expected to become the fourth largest in the world soon, the race to become the market leaders will see more new faces.
