The Kardian is built on a new iteration of the CMF architecture, called RMP (Renault Modular Platform).[4][5][6] It shares some parts with the third generation Dacia Sandero.[7] It is manufactured in Curitiba, Brazil for the South American market, with future plans for production in Casablanca, Morocco.[3][8]
A new 125 hp (93 kW) flexfuel engine debuts, an evolution of the 1.0 TCe found on the Sandero.[4] For the first time, this engine can be equipped with an all-new dual-clutch automatic transmission (codename DW23), which is due to be available in Europe with the launch of the third-generation Duster, scheduled for spring[clarification needed] 2024.[4]
In some countries such as Mexico, the Kardian is powered by a 1.6-litre engine producing 114 PS (112 hp; 84 kW).[9]
During the presentation of the model, Gilles Vidal, the design director, emphasized that the Kardian was the result of joint work between the Renault styling teams in France and Brazil.[4]
