Right, what is Kardian? Think of this cool-sounding car like a Fronx but from Renault. There is a very slim possibility of the Kardian making it to India this year, as Renault is focused on boosting Duster sales and tuning its lineup MPVs like the Triber.

The Kardian is already on sale elsewhere, including Mexico, Morocco, Argentina and Brazil, where it is selling in fairly low numbers, with Brazil being its biggest market at around 24,000 units sold in 2024. Globally, it comes with different engines like 1.6, 1.0 and 1.5-litre units paired with manual or CVT gearboxes, producing about 112 to 125 hp.

If it ever comes to India, that flex-fuel-capable 1.6-litre engine will most likely be the preferred option.
