USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Renault Fluence Black Edition, introduced in 2013, is a gem that often flies under the radar in the Indian market. From my experience, this car excels in several key areas. The ride quality and handling are exceptional, making it a joy to drive on both city roads and highways. The suspension is adept at absorbing bumps, and the steering is crisp and responsive, providing excellent stability at higher speeds. The interior is well-appointed with a contemporary design, featuring a dual-tone dashboard, dual-zone air conditioning, and an Arkamys 3D Surround Sound system that delivers superb audio quality. However, the cars sales have been hampered by Renaults relatively weak network in India and higher servicing costs. Despite these drawbacks, if youre looking for a car that offers a blend of comfort, practicality, and driving pleasure, the Renault Fluence Black Edition is definitely worth considering.
Price
The Renault Fluence Black Edition, when it was available in India, was priced competitively in its segment. The ex-showroom price for the diesel variant was around Rs. 14.15 lakh, while the petrol automatic variant was priced at approximately Rs. 15.47 lakh. On-road prices varied depending on the city, but you could expect to add another Rs. 1-2 lakh to the ex-showroom price to account for taxes, registration, and other costs. This pricing positioned the Fluence as a viable option against other sedans in its class, offering a good balance of features and performance at a reasonable cost.
Latest Updates
Friday, 11 January 2013 07:02 AM The Renault Fluence Black Edition, part of the 2013 facelift, was expected to arrive in India in the first quarter of 2013. This update brought significant changes, including a new front bumper with LED daytime running lights and a soft-V shaped black grille, aligning with Renaults new styling identity. The interior saw upgrades like new upholstery, a digital instrument cluster, and the Renault R-Link multimedia system. I think these updates made the Fluence a more compelling option in the Indian market.
Friday, 11 January 2013 10:49 PM Renaults decision to update the Fluence was partly driven by the success of its Duster SUV in India. The company hoped that the facelifted Fluence would benefit from the positive brand image built by the Duster. The updates were designed to address the saloons previous shortcomings and make it more competitive in the Indian market. I think this strategy was a smart move to leverage the Dusters popularity.
Friday, 11 January 2013 02:52 PM The interior of the 2013 Renault Fluence facelift saw notable upgrades, including new instrumentation, Bluetooth audio system, new upholstery, and the Renault R-Link multimedia system with a touchscreen display and voice command system. These updates were designed to enhance the comfort and sophistication of the vehicles interior. I think these changes significantly improved the driving experience.
Friday, 11 January 2013 07:01 PM The launch of the updated Fluence in India was seen as an opportunity for Renault to strengthen its brand image and address the saloons previous sales performance. Despite being one of the most underrated cars, the Fluence had a loyal customer base, and these updates were expected to attract more buyers. I believe this was a critical moment for Renault to regain market share.
Mileage
Thursday, 21 November 2024 08:01 AM When it comes to mileage, the Renault Fluence Black Edition is quite efficient. The diesel variant, with its 1.5-litre dCi engine, is claimed to return a mileage of 17.86 kml, while the petrol variant, with its 1.6-litre engine and X-Tronic CVT gearbox, offers around 15.62 kml. In real-world conditions, you can expect the diesel to deliver around 15-16 kml and the petrol around 12-13 kml, making it a reasonable choice for those concerned about running costs.
