Renault Lodgy :: RxZ Diesel :: Review :: ZigWheels 

Mubin Khan XUV500 does not have that much space and looks wise i cannot say it is the best in this class. The rear seats and windows are not at par and luggage space is restricted. I think Lodgy is a better MPV, can tell you so because I own it now and have driven around a few kilometers and the space is its best offering.

Bhavin Tolia keep your thoughts to yourself

Ankur Jain Keep watching this space, you'll have an answer to that soon :)

Oho have you even been in an Ertiga? atleast in the 3rd row? The Ertiga's 3rd row is by far the best under 20L...No one is comfy in those unsupportive 3rd row of the Lodgy. Dude, space and comfort is with respect to the size and height of the person and for me (5'11") and anyone taller than me it will be so cramped up and uncomfy in the 2nd and 3rd row of the Lodgy. Well, I didn't actually say that a bigger engine is a negative point. I am just saying that the Ertiga, although having just a small engine, produces immense torque and power to keep up with the bigger engined rivals and has the torque to pull 7 people even on slopes.

+Dhananjayan Kausshik Which ertiga are you in. Please do not mislead people by saying whatever you think. I am 6 ft and have traveled to chennai in the middle row without any issues in the middle row.

raghutk I don't think so. Maybe you would have had a short driver in front of you sir. But when I adjusted the driver seat to my height, I just had only a few centimetres of space between my knees and the seat back in the 2nd row and the sales rep too agreed that this car needs a sliding 2nd row. I can show this to you by even taking a pic.

+Dhananjayan Kausshik Haha 3rd row of Ertiga is the worst dude, the windows on that car's 3rd row are so small that you feel like puking when you look out. A small engine is useless when it comes to an MPV, immense torque or not. Cabin silence is yet another thing that lodgy offers that ertiga doesnt as much. The seats in the third row can completely removed in the lodgy making more space than in the ertiga which have a 60:40 thing and you have to fold them and put your luggage on them, not too good since not much can be put on them.

Naresh Khanna dude, I have been one among the most satisfied Ertiga owners since 2012 and trust me, Ertiga's 3rd row is much more comfy than that of the lodgy. Although the windows are small, there is good comfort and I myself and even my parents and grandparents have found the 3rd row seats to be very accommodating and have travelled hours long on highways. The trick is to adjust the middle row according to the passengers. The lodgy is normally cramped without even the option of adjusting the seats when there are no passengers in the third row. It's a tedious job to remove the 3rd rite every time and to store it somewhere at home. Also where would you store the 3rd row seats if you have to return from a long drive destination but have to carry big luggage while returning which wasn't there while going there? The Ertiga has a totally flat floor which is very easy to fold and retract. The new model provides 50:50 split seats for additional flexibility. The lodgy is similar to Ertiga in space, lesser than Ertiga in comfort and flexibility. Ok so you don't like small engines for big cars? Fine then what you would call the 1.0 ford ecoboost engine? It's a tiny sized engine for an suv of 11L. Turbocharging and power to weight ratio and torque is more important than engine size and vehicle size. The 1.3 engine is not the national engine without reason. It can be tuned upto 120bhp and 250Nm torque if needed and can smoke the innova and lodgy. Overall the Ertiga is a better package than the pricey Lodgy.

Gagandeep Singh Sokhey it is not really upmarket looking for me, lodgy looks like old koleos

Debayan Mukherjee Good point about the XUV, but since we were essentially looking at well specced out versions, we might have missed it. As for the similar introduction as mentioned by you... all we can say is - look at the published date for the two videos and you will know who is the copy cat here! But then, imitation is the best form of flattery, now is it not!

+Pratik Deo Yes it is definitely great in terms of mileage and off road performance since it has a good suspension.

What is the mileage of car..??

Mithilesh Srivastav It has a good performance review in city and highway driving. Average is around 18 kmpl which seems decent for such a large MPV.
