Renault India, the Indian alliance of the French carmaker Renault has proudly announced its significant achievement in India.  In a statement from the company, it has achieved a milestone of nine lakh units in just 11 years of operation.

Renault's commitment to safety is evident in the impressive crash test ratings received by two of its popular models, the Kiger and Triber. Both vehicles achieved a commendable 4-star adult safety rating in the Global NCAP crash tests. The Kiger is powered by a turbocharged 1.0L petrol engine, boasting an impressive fuel efficiency of 20.62 kmpl. On the other hand, the Triber features a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine generating 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque.
