Renault to launch five new cars in 2015
Announcing the move at the unveiling of the French firm’s new Kadjar SUV, Renaul Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn
Announcing the move at the unveiling of the French firm’s new Kadjar SUV, Renaul Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn said Renault will bring a new A-segment car, a D-segment saloon and a new pick-up truck to market this year to join the already-revealed Kadjar and Espace.
Renault’s plans to introduce a new, back-to-basics model in the same vein as the Citroen C4 Cactus were revealed back in December with the ‘Value Up’ concept car. Although at the time Renault said the model would not make it to production, it’s known that elements from the concept – including its new platform – could be used to inform the next generation of Renault’s city cars.
Any new model in the D-segment for Renault would likely see the return of the Laguna name. Previously, Renault officials have told Autocar the next Laguna would come with “fluid and emotional” styling, echoing the themes seen on the firm’s Captur, Clio, Twingoand Zoe models.
The reinvented Renault Espace was revealed at the Paris motor show in September last year, with the MPV morphing into more of a crossover shape. The car will be available in both five- and seven-seat guises.
