Renault Fluence Base Updates

Thursday, 21 November 2024 03:50 PM Renault India has discontinued the Renault Fluence, marking the end of its production in India since 2017. The Fluence was a compact sedan that competed with the likes of the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Its discontinuation reflects the shifting market preferences towards SUVs and other vehicle segments. I think this move was inevitable given the changing consumer tastes.

Wednesday, 19 March 2014 09:36 PM In 2014, Renault launched the facelift version of the Fluence in India, priced at Rs 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This updated model featured a sporty and progressive design inspired by Renault’s new brand identity. The facelift included several cosmetic and feature upgrades to keep the car competitive in the market. I believe this facelift was a good attempt to revamp the cars appeal.

Tuesday, 03 April 2012 05:48 AM Renault introduced the Fluence E4 D, an updated diesel version, priced at Rs 15.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) in April 2012. This model came with an enhanced diesel engine and additional features that were previously missing in the diesel variants. The update was aimed at making the diesel version more appealing to buyers. I think this move helped in attracting more diesel enthusiasts.

Thursday, 26 May 2011 01:37 PM The Renault Fluence was initially launched in India in 2011 with both petrol and diesel engine options. The car was priced between Rs 12-14 lakh and was set to compete in the premium sedan segment. Bookings for the car began immediately, with deliveries scheduled to start in June 2011. I believe the initial pricing was competitive, but the market response was mixed.

Sunday, 15 May 2011 08:21 AM The Renault Fluence was assembled in India at the Renault Nissan India plant in Chennai. The production started in 2011 and continued until the model was discontinued in 2017. The local assembly helped in keeping the costs lower and making the car more affordable for Indian buyers. I think local production was a smart move to tap into the Indian market.

Wednesday, 20 April 2011 04:06 PM The Renault Fluence featured a range of engines, including a 1.5-liter dCi diesel engine and petrol options. The diesel engine was available in various power outputs, and the top model could be fitted with Renaults Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission. This variety in engine options was aimed at catering to different buyer preferences. I believe the engine options were quite robust for its segment.

Friday, 25 March 2011 09:42 PM The Fluence had a sleek design and was based on the Renault-Nissan C platform. It had a wheelbase of 2,702 mm and dimensions that made it a comfortable fit in the compact sedan category. The cars design was praised for its elegance and practicality. I think the design held up well against its competitors.

Tuesday, 15 February 2011 08:41 AM Renault emphasized the comfort and features of the Fluence, including a height-adjustable driver seat, automatic climate control, and leather seats. These features were intended to position the Fluence as a premium offering in its segment. I believe these features helped in enhancing the overall driving experience.

Thursday, 20 January 2011 05:11 PM The Fluence was expected to compete directly with other popular sedans like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Skoda Laura. Renaults strategy was to offer a blend of style, comfort, and performance to attract buyers in the premium sedan market. I think the competition was fierce, but the Fluence had its unique selling points.
