Renault India has expanded the Lodgy MPV line-up with the Stepway, a more muscular-looking variant of the top RxZ trim of the Lodgy. The variant has been launched with prices starting at Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Lodgy Stepway comes with a couple of cosmetic upgrades. There’s a new front grille, roof rails, body cladding, front and rear skid plates with metallic finish, branded door sills and 'Stepway' badging. The cabin, however, doesn’t get a makeover. It is available in both seven- and eight-seat layout, with features such as front airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, reversing camera and touchscreen infotainment system being carried over.

The Lodgy Stepway is powered by the 108.5bhp 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
