Renault India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renault Groupe, opened its dealership in Ambattur and renovated it using the new’R store concept, the network's new global architectural model, marking the beginning of its transformation in India.
In addition to gradually renovating its current dealerships, all new Renault stores in India will henceforth be constructed utilising the new model. According to the New Visual Identity (NVI), Renault is also redesigning its dealerships in India. As a result, Renault's new emblem, which is white over black, will now be shown at all of its showrooms. The company plans to renovate around 100 stores in 2025, with the goal of finishing the makeover by 2026.
The structure has been updated to provide a better shopping experience and features a fresh style for the interiors of Renault stores with a contemporary feel. Customers are able to examine the automobiles from every angle since the vehicle display is purposefully kept at the centre of the establishment. With distinctive lighting, first-rate seating and outstanding customer service, the concept also allows the establishment to provide patrons with a modern, fresh and urban appearance. Additionally, in order to provide consumers with simple access, the new’R store model will include all of the necessary customer service spaces, such as the customer lounge, after-sales reception and sales advisor offices, inside the showroom's perimeter. The new structure reaffirms Renault's dedication to improving both the product and brand experience for consumers.
Venkatram M, Managing Director and Country CEO, Renault India, said, "The launch of the Ambattur dealership marks a pivotal moment in Renault's journey in India. The fact that India became the first country to actualise the new’R store format reaffirms Renault's India strategy. India is at the forefront of Renault's global plans, and soon, the country will witness a completely revamped Renault, offering superior customer experience through acclaimed products, redefined sales experience and globally acclaimed aftersales services."
