The German Autobild has obtained information that the new model will be 3.9 meters long and will be based on the Value Up platform. This platform will allow the car to be equipped with compact 1.0-liter petrol and 1.5-liter turbodiesel engines from the Twingo model. Their power may vary from 70 to 110 hp.

It is expected that in Europe the starting price of the car will be approximately 16,000 euros.

And the Brazilian publication Automotive Business Brazil boasted information that the new model will be intended for low-income markets of developing countries and will be built on the basis of the inexpensive Renault B0 platform. This means kinship with Dacia. Then the engines will most likely be simple in design and in naturally aspirated versions. All-wheel drive transmission is also available.

According to both publications, the launch of the car is scheduled for the end of 2017.
