Renault Sandero

In India by: End 2009

Will cost: Rs 4-5 lakh

The first collaboration of Mahindra and Renault yielded an inexpensive and cheerful car in the form of the Logan.

At the end of this year, the Logan's smaller cousin, the Sandero is expected to land in the country. Though the Sandero is pretty-much based on the Logan platform, Mahindra-Renault is likely to cut corners on the pricing front and give this hatchback a slightly more up-market feel than its sedan counterpart. The Sandero and will compete with cars in the mid-range large hatchback segment like the Hyundai i20 and the Honda Jazz.
