Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Scala Diesel RxL is a well-rounded package that offers a blend of comfort, performance, and practicality. It stands out with its spacious cabin, which is ideal for family use or for those who prefer being driven around. The K9K diesel engine, known for its reliability and performance, delivers smooth power delivery and good fuel economy. However, the car does feel a bit outdated compared to its newer rivals, and the lack of an automatic transmission option in the diesel variant might be a drawback for some. Despite this, the Scalas handling and ride quality are commendable, making it a great choice for long drives. Overall, its a solid option for those seeking a reliable and comfortable sedan without breaking the bank.

Price

The Renault Scala Diesel RxL is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant is around Rs. 8.69 lakh in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can go up to around Rs. 10-11 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Scala RxL a good value proposition, especially considering its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and the proven reliability of the K9K diesel engine. While it may not be the cheapest option in its segment, it offers a premium feel and features that justify the slightly higher cost.
