Despite giving so many affordable cars why renault cannot sell more cars in india lets look
Renault first entered India through a joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra, it placed high hopes on its maiden product offering Logan - a mid-sized sedan launched in 2007. But the car with its dated looks and high pricing failed to strike a chord with Indian consumers. Such was the scale of the failure that it ended up killing the joint venture in 2010. Renault's brand name took a massive hit in India. Ironically, the Logan's failure laid the foundation for the success of Renault's compact sport-utility vehicle (SUV) Duster. The Duster's success is more of a marketing achievement than the result of engineering excellence. Renault's strategy indicates a coming of age for the car industry in India with focus on customer -centric product development and use of consumer insights to drive engineering. Renault identified a gap in the market and used the customer voice to develop an appealing product. The Duster has opened up a new category which will attract considerable competition. The newness will wear off and the success that has put a large number of Dusters on the road will dilute the novelty of its look
The Kwid was unveiled at Chennai on 20 May 2015 by Renault's CEO Carlos Ghosn.[6] Ghosn said the car would be "a game changer for Renault in India." The car has 98 per cent of parts localisation and extensive engineering by local Renault personnel.[9][10] The Kwid is aimed at competing with other small cars within the Indian market, such as the Suzuki Alto,[5] and incorporates uncommon equipment for its segment such as a digital instrument cluster and a multimedia touchscreen.
In September 2015, the Kwid was launched in India at a starting price of 257,000 rupees,[11] equal to $3,884. Sales started in September and had a "flying start" of 25,000 bookings in 2 weeks and 50,000 in 5 weeks,[12][13] then 70,000 in 2 months, getting 10% of effective market shares in its segment.[14][15] The Indian version is exported to various overseas markets such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Tunisia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Despite these two cars masive success majority of their models ends up as a failure

1.No update
2.engine
The biggest reason is the engine. 1.0 naturally aspirated engine for all models 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol energy engine generates 72 PS power output with 96 Nm torque.
For triber 1.0 turbo should be the standard
98.63bhp@5000rpmMax Torque160Nm@2800-3600rpm
Why renault is not giving
For kwid if you give 1.0 turbo.people are looking for peppy hatch
NVH Levels
Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels is an important aspect for people looking a refined experience from their car. Engine refinement is one of the most major aspects to control NVH levels in the cabin. The Kiger engine is smooth in low revs, but as you pick up the revs you notice a lot of vibration and noise. These NVH levers are really bad in the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine with the manual or automatic transmission. Renault should look to address this as it is important for the overall car driving experience.
No diesel
The BS6 norms really hampered the diesel market in India. But now, a lot of manufacturers have started to adapt to it. In this segment, people are looking for diesel engines due to their better average and more torque. So it comes as a surprise that Renault/Nissan hasn’t invested in a BS6 compliant diesel engine.
Why Nissan Magnite outsells Renault Kiger?
