Renault Lodgy Stepway

This avatar gets a dose of style and a couple of tweaks. Will this help improve the Lodgy’s popularity?

With the Toyota pushing the Innova further upmarket, there was a huge gap between it, and the Maruti Ertiga and Chevrolet Enjoy, which the Lodgy plugged quite well in terms of both size and price. But its staid and van-like upright stance didn’t find it too many private buyers. Enter the Stepway – a stylish and rugged-looking version of Lodgy – tasked with the responsibility of bringing it some appeal.

The Lodgy Stepway gets additional body cladding along its sides, unique front and rear bumpers and new-design 16-inch eight-spoke ‘Panache’ alloys painted in matte grey shade.
