New cars for 2018: Renault has a busy year ahead

Cape Town - French automaker Renault is planning to launch two new models locally and five face-lifted models in 2018. 

In 2017 Renault added a GT Line model to its Clio range in April, launched the Clio RS in May, added a Duster derivative with an automatic 'box in July and the automaker also enhanced its local Captur crossover in August.

Renault SA's Viviene Ward said status of the Oroch and Alaskan right hand drive production is to be confirmed at this stage and that Renault continues to emphasise the importance to launch the Oroch locally. 

Ward said: "Right now we are pressing hard ahead with the ongoing development for the right hand drive units since the factory cannot confirm production timeline."
