The festive season is almost here, and this is the time that generally promises a positive tide for carmakers. Aimed at boosting sales during this period, dealers usually offer benefits to lure prospective buyers. Renault dealers too are going down this path, and are offering discounts starting from Rs 20,000 and going up to Rs 5 lakh, based on the model and model year.
Renault's small car, the Pulse, is being sold by a couple of dealers with benefits ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 60,000. These include cash discounts, corporate discounts, exchange bonuses and inexpensive insurance. The Scala on the other hand, can be had at discounts starting from Rs 45,000, all the way up to Rs 2 lakh. Move up to the Fluence sedan, and there are heavy benefits – cash discounts of up to Rs 2 lakh, and with other benefits, the total sum you'll save could be close to Rs 3 lakh.
The very popular Duster has a variety of benefits on it. While a couple of dealers are offering flat cash discounts of up to Rs 60,000, others are offering exchange bonuses, and smaller cash discounts. The AWD model is available at cash discounts up to Rs 1.2 lakh. The company's most expensive model, the Koleos is being offered at huge cash discounts of up to Rs 4.5 lakh. Add to that the other benefits, and you get a discount of close
Rs 5 lakh.
Renault's latest launch, the Lodgy MPV, can be had with benefits ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 40,000.
It's important to note that these discounts could vary based on your location and the availability of stock with dealers. So it’s best to head to your nearest showroom and negotiate a deal for yourself, and you might just be able to juice out different benefits, cash or kind.
