![]() I mentioned small cars, because that is where the volumes lie. Answering queries for a small car is more tiresome than say a 10+ lakh car, because of the sheer number of queries. In the case of Renault, the crowd that comes into the showroom would be much more than that of Duster, because, the price is affordable to majority of them. Another smart move here would be to show case Lodgy with some offers, special editions etc. Lodgy is a family car, and there will be a requirement for such a car to many families. Renault can make use of the footfall in the showroom, to also subliminally give a mild push to Lodgy as well. Lodgy is a spacious car, and deserves more sales. | |

| ![]() So we are talking about 6 months waiting, by looking at average 40 cars per dealer and most of them has crossed 250+ already. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The situation is going from a pleasant surprise (pricing) to frustrating for those who already booked the car. A 4-6 month delay means they do not have the manufacturing capacity of more than 6k a month. By 15th Oct, the bookings would have crossed 35k. They are in no position to control this disaster in the making. They had an advantage which seems to have turned into a disadvantage. Any new customer would just not think of booking it, looking at the waiting of 5-6 months. It is no Duster or Ecosport to have people booking it in spite of high waiting periods.

If the production lines have to be readied to handle all the Kwid demand, probably, they have to start fresh recruitment drives! This is the classic disconnect between HR department and other production departments. On a lighter note, - HR department have a listening problem and understood "Hire 3000 employees" as "Fire 3000 employees" ![]() | |

| ![]() 25k bookings in hardly 2 weeks after launch is fabulous. It remains to be seen how many Rs. 1000 bookings or token bookings have they included in the final figure. My guess is atleast 20% would be such. Even then, around 20k is still a great figure that translates to a minimum of 100 bookings per dealer ( they have around 200 nos in India). Renault India, great job so far, I say! It's still a wonder why they didn't pump stock on the dealers before the launch. Been reading of instances where most dealers don't even have TD cars available. That's a crime ! Or was it lack of confidence amongst the dealer fraternity in lifting stock initially? Anyway, by now, the production lines must be running full. |

I had almost made my mind to buy Celerio Zxi (o) but then Kwid was launched. I booked it just for the design. But the waiting period is really frustrating. I have already waited for almost a month. I think I have the capacity to wait for one more month but not more than that. If they are unable to deliver it before Diwali I will go for Celerio. They can keep the booking amount of rs. 5000. I assume I am not the only customer out of this 25K to think that way. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Following is the Disclaimer Renault has on its Kwid page from atleast two months. The third line clearly mentions the expected start of deliveries. That should be around Oct 20th. Mostly the pre-booking people will be getting delivery in the first batch. I'm in the running from one & half months. So technically there's no delay, yet. ![]() |

| ![]() Called up the GenNext motors , Vashi. This upgrade is for my grand parents city use as its time to let go the Indica DLS. (Even though only run 22k kms) The display and test drive vehicle will be available from tomorrow, 10th October 2015. Dealership also told the booking amount was Rs 25,000. (Hope I heard it right, have to confirm it. But isn't the app booking amount 5000/-? ) As it will be having a busy weekend they suggested its better to bring the grandparents on Monday. The GenNext have around 1000 bookings till date , with waiting periods of upto 3 months. (May be its the total Mumbai bookings, but still that's 4% of total Kwid bookings in India!) We are looking at the RXT/RXT(O) model as the Karjat registration will give cushioning to the budget. Other contenders considered were Brio (P), Bolt (P) & the new Ford Figo (P). Tight Budget, no festive discounts, strong residual value outlook for Kwid and a good fuel economy helped to Zero in on Kwid. 95% it will be a Kwid booking rest 5% depends on the test drive and comfort factors which we will encounter on Monday. Please share the app booking experience, if any members have had a first hand experience. Last edited by johannskaria : 9th October 2015 at 23:48. |

| ![]() I booked through the app. The process was pretty smooth and just took 2 minutes. But they didn't have the option to select the RXT(o) model. So I just selected RXT and called the dealer and inform him that I want the optional airbag variant. |
