As the country is looking forward to replacing vehicles with the combustion engine in order to restrain increasing pollution issue from the electric vehicle, only by 2030. The auto majors have started working out for developing eco-friendly motor vehicles. The Indian arm of the French Maker Renault is also the one that will join the fleet and the model from brand will be Renault Dezir which recently is in concept form.
As reported from ETAuto, the company is thinking to unveil Renault Dezir concept at the approaching Auto Expo in 2018. Earlier than this, the Concept Sports had marked its presence in India at the Auto Expo 2012.
However, 2010 Paris Motor Show was the first platform where the DeZir was unwrapped in front of the global audience. Now, the concept has gone through a full underbody fairing treatment and gets a rear diffuser which not only improved the aerodynamics of the car but also reduced its drag coefficient to a comparatively low (0.25 Cd) measure. Look wise, this Renault Dezir concept seems an emotional design study.
