French car manufacturer Renault has announced its plan to introduce five new car models in India by 2027. This includes next generation of Tiber, Kiger along with 2 new SUV models.

What to expect in the new Renault cars
The company has confirmed that the Triber and Kiger will be launched in a new generation in the near future. However, the company has not pinpointed on the exact timeline of the same. Both the Triber as well as Kiger face tough competition from rival cars from manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki, Kia, Hyundai and Tata.
On the other hand, the company will be launching two new SUVs in the upcoming years. This includes B+ SUV and a C SUV. Renault is expected to launch the new Duster along with a 7-seater version on the Bigster concept. The new Duster is based on Renault-Nissan Alliance’s modular CMF-B platform and comes with a Dacia badging. While launching in India it will have Renault badging.
Speaking on the new EV car, it is expected that the new electric car will be a Kwid EV. It will rival with the likes of Tata Tiago EV and Citroen eC3. The price of the EV is expected to be under Rs 10 lakh due to heavy localization factor.
