India is a nation with an extensive road network that connects almost all parts of the world’s seventh-largest country with each other.

The entry-level offering from Renault India also offers a spacious cabin and mini-Duster looks. It is available with both 0.8-litre and 1.0-litre engine options with the latter also getting an AMT version.
