The planned engine is the 1.2 litre petrol, but Renault Ireland say this is under review at the moment in the light of the chages to VRT, and the car may come with a version of the 1.5 litre diesel engine.
No price has yet been set, but Renault Ireland sources say it will be 'about 500 euros' less expensive than the Nissan 'cousin' car, the Note.
Since both cars were originally launched, the Note has strongly outsold the Renault because of its extra length and consequent extra luggage space.
Renault Ireland have sold some 600 copies of the original Modus to date. A modest enough performance which they are likely to improve significantly on with the new Grand version. BB
