The engine though is expected to be fuel injected as against the carburetted version seen in the Renegade Commando and Renegade Sport S. The UM Renegade Classic is also expected to be introduced only with BSIV compliance.
Mr Mishra also told us that bookings for the UM Renegade Classic will begin in April. At the Expo, UM had announced the Classic to be priced at INR 1.69 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) but a price hike of a few thousand rupees cannot be ruled out.
