The Renault brands in Nigeria are gaining more momentum and acceptability with the assembling of two brands of the vehicles in the country.

Courtesy of Coscharis Motors, the Logan and Duster are being assembled at its Awoyaya Assembly plant, and there are plans by the auto firm to expand the assembling activities to cover other Renault brands.

Similarly, the sole representatives of the Renault brand in Nigeria has announced a free service voucher worth N150,000 for every Renault vehicle purchased from the company.

Making the announcement during the recently concluded Lagos Motor Fair, the General Manager, Renault Sales at Coscharis Motors, Sola Adigun, said, “We want to use the opportunity of our presence at this motor fair to announce to our customers and prospects that we will be offering a free service voucher worth N150,000 for every Renault vehicle purchased at this motor fair and afterwards.”

Explaining further, Adigun said the free service voucher was one of the exciting giveaways which Renault customers stood to gain from buying a Renault vehicle.

However, the free service voucher offer promo extends beyond the just concluded motor fair to all Coscharis showrooms across the country until July 30th this year.

Also still available for customers to have an easy access to purchase any of their preferred Renault vehicles is the finance scheme from the sister company, Coscharis Mobility, that provides payment spread over a period of time after 30 percent initial deposit of the principal value.

General Manager Marketing and Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group, Abiona Babarinde, said more Renault variants would be assembled with improvement in infrastructural facilities.

He said, “Currently, we are still assembling two variants of the Renault brand locally, at our assembly plant in Awoyaya, Lagos, namely Logan and Duster. Clearly, we have the capacity to add more variants to our local assembly line and hope that the time will soon come when the infrastructural deficit in the country will improve to give a conducive business environment to investors like Coscharis that still believe in our nation Nigeria.

“Then we shall gladly increase the number of locally assembled variants and probably assemble all the variants that we market in the country. More importantly for us is that this gives us the opportunity to deliver value to the bigger economy in terms of job employment amongst other economic advantages with the sustenance and expansion of the local assemblies across the country.”

Likewise, Coscahris offers a trade-in option to customers who currently own a Renault vehicle and wish to exchange for a new model.

Five variants of the Renault brand were put on display for visitors at the fair, including Logan and Duster, which are both assembled in Nigeria. Others are Koleos, Oroch and Kwid.
