The LPG and CNG versions of the Renault Logan seem to be just a couple of months away. The LPG version of the Logan was showcased at the Auto Expo 2008 in New Delhi.
If the rumors we hear are true, the LPG and CNG versions would be launched in October 2008. Price of the CNG and LPG versions could be anywhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,000 higher than the petrol version of the Renault Logan.
In the quarter ended March 2008, Logan had finally overtaken the Suzuki SX4 in sales. If you remember, the Renault Logan initially faced relatively low sales, which picked up only much later.
The LPG version of the Logan would be more accessible to customers across India, but AutoLPG is not as cheap as CNG. CNG, on the other hand, would be more economical, but availability is limited to the big cities. Tough choice, there.
Mahindra-Renault has been working on improving the dealer network and hope that the new versions of the Logan would help them get closer to the segment leader Honda City.
Recently, Mahindra Renault launched the Logan Edge, a limited edition model.
