Renault-Fluence

Renault India launched its first independent model Fluence in India, priced at 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the diesel variant and 14.40 lakh for the fully-loaded petrol version.

Renault’s petrol engine will develop 137bhp while the diesel will produce 105bhp of maximum power. The diesel powered Fluence will have a claimed efficiency figure of 21.84kmpl. The suspension will be well tuned for comfort and the ride is expected to be outstanding. Equipment levels will be on par with the competition and the fully loaded Fluence will sport features like Keyless Start, Bluetooth Connectivity, dual zone climate control, ESP and four airbags among others.

“We are making a new beginning in India. Logan has given us a good learning about the Indian market and customers,” Renault India MD Marc Nassif said. We know what the customer want and have worked hard to customise the new Fluence sedan for the local market,” he added.

But what really sets the Fluence apart from the competition is the super comfortable interiors, which suddenly becomes a unique selling proposition when you enter this high-end sedan segment, where performance and luxury need to be in complete synch with one another. Alloy Wheels, Chrome Finish, Driver Lumbar Support, Storage Boxes Cup holders, Plush Leather upholstery and Rear Sunblinds all come together to make the Fluence one very comfortable car, whether you choose to take the wheel or just sit back and get driven around the city. But apart from the above mentioned aesthetics, there’s plenty of user friendly and purposeful technology in the new Fluence to support its wide frame and power its streamlined body.
