Renault May Be Considering a Sub-Compact Sedan Based on Kwid's Platform

- The sub-compact sedan segment continues to observe strong growth
- Renault's sub-4 metre sedan will be based on the CMF-A platform
- Will rival Maruti DZire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent, etc.
As the aforementioned names make a strong enough case for sub-4 metre sedans in India, we hear another manufacturer is preparing to foray into the segment. Media reports suggest that Renault is working on a sub-compact sedan based on the CMF-A platform. Carlos Ghosn had previously mentioned that the platform, which also underpins the Renault Kwid, will form the basis of a wide array of cars from both, Renault and Nissan.
However, we must mention that sources in France suggest Renault is ruling out a sub-compact sedan and considering a sub-compact SUV instead since the carmaker sees it offers better potential for sales volume. Yet, the sedan idea has not been completely dismissed.
Though not much is known about Renault's sub-compact sedan, it'd be safe to say that the car is likely to be the cheapest amongst its peers, especially if one takes Renault Kwid's price into consideration.
