Renault Lodgy User Reviews

1. Best Buying. ready in a hour. 2. riding is best ever. when driving i drove in 150 km/h in Odisha road from Cuttack to Puri or Bhadrak. while driver driven i used to take the left back seat to sit spreaded by downing the middle seat as sitting at home in an resting chair. with kids very happy journey, we are a family of 6 plus driver. 3. looks - others envey. performance 18 km/l . 4. servicing with expert caring dealers 2 here rs 3500 including engine oil. 5. stable a vehicle with car easy drive quality and comfort of suv with wide range viewing.

Buying experience was good. Well greeted by the company representatives test drive car which had clocked 16000 kms I drove for 20 kms including bad roads with 8 passengers . Driving it was like a sedan . Only thing I disliked was lag in 2 nd gear. In highways it's really impressive we can overtake with confidence. Cruise control is good. Went upto 130 km/hr with full occupancy good stability and pickup.

If you want to let your lodgy drive you, then buy this vehicle. I spent bloody more than one lac just after one year. My experience been worst in terms of reliability on the engine. Turbo went down, wear & tear in cylinder, leakage on gas kit, turbo piston broke etc...& most of the issue was caused by service center. Problem started coming after service and later when I claimed for warranty, Renault refused to replace the parts and said, your appointment schedule was not in line with what we recommended to you, hence you will have to pay for it. I took my car back after one month and get it repaired outside. 
If you want to throw money, then go ahead with this car. I miss hyundai and Toyota where I never had any problem and issue was resolved without any hiccups. The max time I left my car at service center was 3 days.

My brother wanted to by Captura but I stopped him to buy any Renault Car.

ComfortEngine, sound and service

Very spacious car, seats are durable i strongly recommend this car.. Mileage is not that good but for the price.. Engine power is also good it give the car a good horse power. Must admit..

Exterior

Front design is excellent. But rear looks boxy. Color options are great, particlulary the Royal Orchid variant, which I own - draws everyone's attention for a moment when on road.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Quite spacious. I own a 8 seater variant - 8 people can easily fit in. Even a drive of about few hundred kilometer on to a hill station - everyone were comfortable. All row A/C vent is a plus point.

However, second row seat cannot slide, which makes it slightly uncomfortable. 

Limited boot space capacity when driving full.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Great engine performacne, particularly on Highways. Can easily beat any car.

Excellent fuel economy on highways - I even got around 22 (more than what they claim!). However in cities it had dropped to 13-14, some times to 10. Average what I got so far is around 18.5.

Easy transmission. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Feels little bumply when driving alone. Otherwise great ride quality and smooth driving, particularly on highways. 

Final Words

Great value for money if you are looking for a family car and planning on long trips frequently. A definite alternatives to existing one's in Indian Market. 

Areas of improvement  

Tyres - they are small for the size of car. Ground clearance, turning radius and definitely company service

Exterior

Lodgy looks good on the exterior and it is quite decent even for a car this big. I have a grey lodgy and it looks very nice and people turn and check it out. I love how they have designed it to look appealing yet decent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The interior is huge as the exterior suggests, 7-8 people can sit comfortably in the lodgy. The dashboard and interior is adequate. The seats are very comfortable and give good thigh support. The head and leg room is enough to make the passengers feel comfortable. It has ABS and steering adjustment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is good, it is fuel efficient and silent. The cabin is not noisy even at good speed. 5 manual gears are enough for small commutes and even highway driving while carrying any load.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The car rides wonderfully and the steering is light and there is not lag so it is fun to drive, even in the traffic. It does not cause any inconvenience whatsoever.

Final Words

 Buy this car if you want it for utility and if you have a business and need to travel frequently wit co-workers then this is the car for you.

I had no intentions of buying lodgy because I was fixated on buying the innova. I however was swayed by a friend to take a test drive of the lodgy. Performance and engine wise lodgy is no less than the innova. I was pretty convinced and impressed after I took the test drive. My main intention behind buying an MPV was to ensure that my family travelled comfortably across town. lodgy was perfect for that purpose. My daily commute in the car is around 30 kms and many times it has more than 4 member with me. I observed that lodgy’s 108 bhp power from the dci diesel engine ensures a smooth ride even when it is at its max in terms of load. It has more than enough boot space has decent interiors which could be worked upon in the future variants. What set apart lodgy from innova was its 6 gear transmission and lighter steering resulting in a better handling and driving experience. This is an ideal car in the 10 lakh price range and it will not disappoint you as a family car.

Exterior Pretty decent exteriors. Long 2810mm wheelbase, the Renault Lodgy can accommodate up to eight people with its three rows of seats. Most of them are worried about the low clearance, but I have not faced any issues by driving in good or bad road conditions in Bangalore.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are almost the same of Duster. Quality of interiors cannot be compared to other MPV or MUV. Simply brilliant. Third row A/C.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the place where I loved Renault Lodgy the most. It giving it a driveability of a Sedan and space of a MPV. Love to drive and in highways it is a true pleasure. Particularly cabin space is very quite.

I own 110ps with 6 speed transmission gears. Fuel efficiency is just amazing.. an average of 15 to 16 in the combination of both city and highway (city the most).

Ride Quality & Handling There is no vehicle to compete here.. (exceptions may be there to Innova). Both the front and rear feature adaptive anti-roll bars for improved handling and safety. There is no body roll even at moderate / high speed turnings.

Final Words One word based on my experience - fantastic and value for money.

Areas of improvement Exterior looks.

Cabin interiors, drive quality - 110ps 6th gear with good mileageLack of character lines
