Renault, the close partner of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., is poised to restart its auto import strategy in China, one of the world's most important auto markets, since Laguna, a medium-grade sedan, is launched here, said Robert Chan, general manager of the Renault-branded import car division at Nissan (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
In the Chinese market, Renault will be positioned as a leisure and luxury brand, and it is scheduled to bring in 14 auto types including below-1.6L cars in the coming three years. For instance, it has planned to sell Laguna and another type of SUV in 2009 and Laguna is priced at 298,000 yuan ($43,630).
Next, it will build up its sales outlet network across the country in terms of quality and amount. It is expected to reach a sales volume of 2,000 to 3,000 cars here in 2009, the general manager predicted.
