The Lodgy uses two versions of the 1.5-litre K9K turbocharged diesel engine to power the Lodgy. The 85bhp / 200Nm version uses the five-speed manual transmission, while the more powerful 110bhp / 245Nm mill is mated to six-speed gearbox. Both drive the front wheels of the monocoque chassis-based MUV. The 110bhp engine is the most powerful unit in the segment, outperforming both the Honda Mobilio and the Toyota Innova. Renault has also worked on the refinement and compared to the Duster, the Lodgy has much lower cabin noise. The ARAI efficiency of the 85bhp model is rated at 21.04kpl and the 110bhp model claims 19.98kpl.
The Lodgy has a similar setup to that of the Duster and should hence have a decent ride and handling package. It uses the MacPherson strut at the front and H-Type Torsion beam with anti-roll bar at the rear.
