Affordable car with premium experience

Pons-Kia Sonet is one of my favorite cars as the exterior look and gives a Premium feeling while driving, performance is mind-blowing you can consider that your money is worth it spending on this car, I am damn sure you will not regret it at all. Here service is also great by staff member all are professional. Cons- Let's talk about the cons of long driving you might experience some noises that can make you uncomfortable while driving. Maintenance cost is pretty high.

Worst vehicle and company. Never buy Renault.

Don't buy Renault. Until you purchase they will lick your boot, once you complete purchase they will show their back. Worst vehicle and company. Not even 3 yrs old car, it permits rat to enter to all it's places including cabin. I nearly had 20-25 times electrical problem because of Rat entry. Service persons never mind to rectify it. They are more towards accusing the owner for it(So irritating attitude) and the company never care for, so stupid to by a Renault vehicle. Kindly don't promote any one to buy Renault. It's their production defect but they never accept their fault.

Renault Lodgy Stepway 110ps First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar18 Apr 2017

We have always rated the Renault Lodgy, highly as a product. When it came to desirability though, it lacked finesse and clearly is a MPV that prefers function over form. To make it more attractive Renault launched the Stepway Lodgy late last year with some cosmetic enhancements and additional features. Yes the Stepway edition was already available on the previous car but it was optional and came only in the top RxZ variant. So apart from some minor changes, the Lodgy remains the same. So this review is more of a refresh of what this MPV is all about and if the Stepway edition is what makes the Lodgy more alluring than before. We took this MPV for a spin, late in the night on streets of Mumbai to find out.
