New Renault Modular Platform Announced, To Be Locally Assembled In India As Well

Renault has recently announced its ‘International Game Plan 2027’, which focuses on markets outside of Europe. This plan includes the introduction of 8 new models and an all-new modular platform. The new platform is capable of supporting various types of engines, including petrol/diesel, hybrids, and electric vehicles (EVs).

The new modular platform will be able to support vehicles ranging from 4 meters to 5 meters in length and will offer both front-wheel-drive and 4-wheel-drive (4WD) options. It will also support different body styles and will be dedicated to regions such as Latin America, North Africa, Turkey, and India.

One of the benefits of the new platform is its powertrain agnosticism, meaning it can support different engine options. This includes internal combustion engine (ICE) models, EVs, and strong-hybrid vehicles. Renault’s VP, Product Performance, Bruno Vanel, mentioned that these new cars will feature the brand’s new identity and will offer powertrain technologies suited to everyone’s needs.

In terms of Renault’s plan for India, the company aims to launch 6 new models starting from 2025. This lineup is expected to include the upcoming third-generation Renault Duster and an entry-level EV. Renault considers India as one of its top markets outside of Europe.

Overall, Renault’s new modular platform and its plans for India showcase the brand’s commitment to expanding its presence and offering a range of vehicles tailored to different market preferences.
