MAHINDRA RENAULT SANDERO

Mahindra Renault is planning to launch its new hatchback Renault Sandero in India by 2010. The Nashik plant of the company will be used to assemble the vehicle. Sandero has five doors and is very spacious compared to other cars in the small car category. The car is 4.02 meters in length and has a storage capacity of 320 litres.

The launch of Sandero will give Renault an entry to the growing small car market of India. Mahindra will also make an entry into the small car market, something the company has avoided so far and focused on the utility vehicles and SUVs.

Sandero is likely to be launched in both petrol and diesel versions. The petrol engine is below 1200cc category and diesel below 1500cc with an overall length below 4 meters. Mahindra Renault Sandero will come with Anti Lock Braking system, a rail direct injection 1.5 dCi engine, and padded doors. The rear doors of the Mahindra Renault Sandero will open up to an angle of 67°.

Earlier, the Mahindra Renault Sandero was to be built in Renault-Nissan’s new manufacturing facility near Chennai, but now it has been decided that Renault will build Sandero at the Nashik facility.
