Renault Carens competition explained in DETAIL!
In India, the seven-seater market has seen a lot of activity in the past few months. This trend is set to continue, with a lot of manufacturers planning to enter this segment. The recent launch of the Kia Carens has also showcased that people are looking for such cars. Last year, Renault’s sister brand Dacia launched the Jogger in Europe. The Jogger will be an ideal competitor to the Carens. In today’s article, we will see the Renault Carens Competition in detail.
Exterior design
The Jogger is based on the Duster, but it does have a lot of unique elements. It gets LED headlamps with Y-shaped DRLs and two slate grilles. Due to the extra row, the car looks quite big. At the rear, it gets Volvo-inspired vertical tail lamps. Other exterior features include wheel arch protection, front & rear skid plates, usable roof rails and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Interior design
The Jogger gets an interior layout similar to the new-generation Duster. It gets a floating infotainment system in the middle with rectangular AC vents. It also comes with seven-seater and six-seater configurations. With all seats up, the Jogger has a boot capacity of 160-litres that rises to 565-litres with tumbled rear seats.
Renault Carens competition – Specifications
Dimension-wise, the Jogger is 4547mm in length, 1,748mm in width and 1,632mm in height. It sits on a wheelbase of 2,897mm and 200mm of ground clearance. In Europe, it is powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine and a bi-fuel LPG engine. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. We can expect the same engine options in India.
Features
The Jogger comes with all the necessary features in a seven-seater car. It gets AC vents in the second & third row, armrests, charging spots, cruise control, six airbags and a big infotainment system. Globally, it also comes with features like an emergency braking assist, blind-spot warning & park assist.
Renault Carens competition – India plans
Renault has not confirmed anything about the Jogger, nor the car has been spotted testing in India. But looking at the growth of the seven-seater market and the response the Carens has garnered, Renault should bring it to India. The pricing of the Jogger should start from Rs 10 to 11 lakh (ex-showroom).
