</p><p>Renault India has started campaign as part of its five-year celebrations in the country by having a price cut on the Lodgy MPV ranging from Rs 34,000 to upwards of Rs 97,000, depending on the variant. The MPV went on sale in April 2015 now has a renewed-price strip of Rs 7,58,831 (ex-showroom, Delhi), against the previous price strip of 8.56 lakh for the base variant. Though, it is still not clear if the discounted price have been issued for a temporary period or will be continued for the remainder of the year.<br><br>Surprisingly the offers are for the 83BHP variants of the Lodgy only, while the 108BHP variants stay unchanged. The discount offered is certainly very generous and makes the car even more value for money. With the new price tag comparing it against immediate rivals, price for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga diesel starts at Rs 7.08 lakh while the Honda Mobilio range starts at Rs 8.67 lakh (prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).</p><p>The maximum discount is available on the Renault Lodgy 83BHP variant is Rs 97,000 on the base Standard variant, which might be targeted towards commercial fleet and taxi operators. The RxE 85 has a discount of Rs 80,000, while the RxL 85 is cheaper by Rs 56,000 and the RxZ 85 by Rs 34,000. The discounted prices is effective from July 2016 across the nation.<br><br>Asking about features and motor, the Renault Lodgy gets nothing as 'new' tag and continues with the 1.5L dCi diesel motor tuned for two different outputs – 83BHP and 200Nm of torque and other is 108BHP and 245Nm of torque. Transmission has an option of both 5-speed manual and a 6-speed manual for the 83BHP and 108BHP engines respectively. The Lodgy has not turned out to be a volume seller for Renault India in the market yet. The discount just might give it a much needed boost ahead of the new automatic trim that is expected to join the lineup soon.</p><p></p>
