So, how have things transpired for Lodgy? Not really well!
Sales fell down to only 522 units last month and their cumulative sales (from April 2015) stand at 6209 units which, for reference, Innova does every 1.25 months!
The launch of the muscular Stepway Edition was advanced since the response was not ‘as expected’ and as we have told you exclusively, there is a new base 7-seater RXE variant coming soon. In an update, to make Lodgy appeal to a wider audience Renault has also started offering discounts on their lone MPV, upto the tune of Rs 31,000!
Here is what and how much do you get…
