Renault Lodgy User Reviews

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..

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.

It is a very good MUV by Renault. I purchased it on 2nd May 2017. There was no delay in delivery. Thanks for TVS Renault Pathanamthitta. I feels very comfort on riding it. Good fuel efficient car. Now I am getting 18 km with AC. Cabin space is too good. Interior metals may be upgraded. Overall very good car.

Bought this vehicle in Apr 2016, Since then I am complaining about the milage, all sales and service staff keep giving me ways to test the milage.

Yesterday I took their driver to test the milage and after crusing at the speed of 90 KM per hour on a highway for 106 kms, I proved it to them.

The technical incharge instead of accepting the issue started cross questioning me and driver and I took him for another spin across with his laptop attached to the car to MONITOR the SENSORS. Again the same results.

Also every time I go for a service they add more problems than to solve existing, yesterday I complained that the rear camera is misbehaving sometimes, the person who repaired rendered the camera totally not working, and then the advisor has the audacity to ask me to the camera manufacturer for repairs, this camera was fitted by their accessory team while selling the car to me.

No had any clue, the works manager and all keep deflecting my complaint and were rude. I expected a world class car from a world class brand, but it seems "Renault" actually care a damn for the customer.

My Suggestion: DONT BUY RENAULT vehicles. AFTER SALES IS VERY PATHETIC.

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

 Certainly acceptable design. Why would anyone disagree that the car is prettier than Innova.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Quite acceptable and comfortable interiors, seats are like sofa.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The car has powerful and quite engine with no vibrations. Got economy of 15 kemp lover last 428 km of mixed use. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Firmly in place. The car faced two issues though- once skidded on a road which was water logged to some extent. My speed was approx 80. recovered safely. Second time, had the road scrape the down surface as one wheel had to be brought down to allow another vehicle crossing. 

Final Words

 Satisfied as buyer. Feels higher end compared to a Maruti or Honda 7 Seater. Vehicle feels very strong and absorbs all shocks of poor roads.

the car deserves to get more popular in India. Pulls up well with my 6 member family with no drags and suspension feels very solid. There is some struggle at very low traffic speed where down shift to 1st gear is required occasionally. Beyond 25 kph there is no stress. 

RXL model seat quality is ok, not best. So will need to put up external cover.

Refined, family is comfortableSend airbag missing in RXL

Exterior

 Ok at this price...can be even better looking...rear end shape can be improved

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very comfort for driving....Family car for up to 7 members, 3 Row AC is excellent...little more space can be provided in the third row...but at this price tag we can't expect like in Innova

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very smooth even at 90-100 kmph...no inside noise, excellent mileage of 18-19kmpl...this is awsome at this size car

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good...very easy to handle...Excellent features like rear view camera, GPS, ABS, AIRBAGS...even at 100kmph it is giving a comfort and safe driving experience.

Final Words

 I am using since May -2015...I ot 18-19 mileage even inside the town roads...best value for money and best for a family  .I would recommend this car for a family at a budget below 12-13 lakhs

Areas of improvement 

 Rear look can be improved. Dealer issue has to be rectified. No proper response from the dealers

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.

Areas of improvement  

 Interiors.

 

space, pickup, fuel efficiency, looksinterior, last row windows small

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.
