Renault Scala Diesel RxZ

About
The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ is essentially a re-badged version of the Nissan Sunny, but with several key enhancements. It comes equipped with a 1.5-liter K9K diesel engine that produces 86 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car boasts excellent handling and ride quality, thanks to its tweaked suspension, making it a pleasure to drive on both city roads and winding highways. The interior is spacious, with ample legroom and features like automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and steering-mounted audio controls. The top-end RxZ variant includes additional comforts such as leather-wrapped seats, a glossy finish gearstick, and an intelligent key with push-button ignition. With its comfortable ride, efficient engine, and premium feel, the Scala RxZ is a solid option for those seeking a reliable and comfortable sedan for family use or chauffeur-driven needs.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ is a well-rounded package that impresses with its performance, handling, and comfort. The K9K diesel engine, known for its efficiency and power, delivers a smooth and linear power delivery, making it a joy to drive, especially in the 2500-3500 rpm range. The handling is precise, and the tweaked suspension ensures a comfortable ride even on challenging terrain. While the gearbox is not the smoothest, it is manageable and does not detract from the overall driving experience. The interior, though identical to the Nissan Sunny, offers ample legroom, comfortable seats, and a range of features like automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and steering-mounted audio controls. However, the car feels somewhat outdated compared to its rivals, and the lack of an automatic transmission option for the diesel variant is a notable omission. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Scala RxZ is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable, spacious, and comfortable sedan.
Price
The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ was priced competitively in the Indian market. At the time of its launch, the ex-showroom price in Delhi was around Rs 9.57 lakh. On-road prices varied by city but generally ranged from Rs 10.5 lakh to Rs 11.5 lakh, depending on local taxes and other costs. This pricing positioned the Scala at a premium to its Nissan Sunny counterpart, reflecting the enhanced exterior styling and additional features. While the premium might seem justified by the improved aesthetics and slightly better handling, its crucial to weigh these against the overall value proposition, especially considering the limited variant options and the absence of certain features like an automatic transmission for the diesel model.
Latest Updates
Wednesday, 19 July 2017 12:55 AM Renault India has stopped the production of the Scala sedan, including the Diesel RxZ variant, as of July 2017. This decision was part of the companys strategy to focus on other models. The Scala Diesel RxZ was known for its 1461cc engine producing 86PS and 200Nm of torque. I think this move was necessary to make way for more competitive models in the market.
Monday, 08 December 2014 05:52 AM In 2014, Renault India offered a special promotion where the Scala RxL Diesel was priced at Rs. 8.01 lakh, equivalent to its petrol counterpart. Although this offer did not specifically target the RxZ variant, it indicated the companys efforts to boost sales of its diesel models. I believe such promotions can significantly attract buyers looking for value.
Friday, 18 January 2013 06:07 PM The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ featured a 1461cc diesel engine, producing 86PS at 3750 rpm and 200Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. This variant was praised for its balanced torque distribution and good handling despite its length. I think the engine performance was one of the strong points of this car.
Friday, 18 January 2013 04:00 PM The Scala Diesel RxZ came with several advanced features, including power steering, power windows, central locking, and an integrated audio system with four speakers. It also had a multi-functional smart key and an illuminated push-button start. I believe these features made the car quite appealing in its segment.
Friday, 18 January 2013 11:21 AM Renault introduced the Scala Diesel RxZ with a manual transmission, but there were no automatic transmission options available for the diesel variants. The car had a fuel efficiency of 21.64 kmpl, making it a fuel-efficient choice. I think the lack of an automatic option might have been a drawback for some buyers.
Friday, 18 January 2013 12:51 AM The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ had a robust build and standard safety features such as front dual airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist. These features enhanced the safety aspect of the vehicle. I believe safety features are crucial, and Renault did a good job here.
Friday, 18 January 2013 01:35 AM The Scala Diesel RxZ had a spacious interior and a boot space of 490 liters, making it convenient for long trips. The car also featured rear AC vents and automatic climate control, adding to the comfort. I think the interior space was one of the highlights of this car.
Friday, 18 January 2013 05:00 AM In terms of styling, the Renault Scala Diesel RxZ had a distinct look with sporty alloy wheels and a premium leather upholstery in the top variant. The exterior design was a key factor in its appeal. I believe the design updates made it stand out in its class.
Friday, 18 January 2013 09:38 AM The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ was priced between Rs. 9.39 lakh to Rs. 10.29 lakh, depending on the trim and additional features. This pricing made it competitive in the mid-size sedan segment. I think the pricing was reasonable given the features and performance.
Friday, 18 January 2013 05:21 AM The Scala Diesel RxZ had a ground clearance of 161 mm and a turning circle radius of 5.3 meters, making it manageable in urban conditions. The cars dimensions and ground clearance were well-suited for Indian roads. I believe this made it a practical choice for daily driving.
Mileage
Thursday, 21 November 2024 12:57 AM The Renault Scala Diesel RxZ offers impressive mileage, making it a viable option for those concerned about running costs. With an ARAI-certified mileage of 21.64 kmpl, this variant is one of the more fuel-efficient options in its segment. In real-world conditions, I observed a mileage of around 14.6 kmpl, which is still respectable given the cars performance and size. This balance between fuel efficiency and performance makes the Scala RxZ a practical choice for daily driving.

हिन्दी-दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ

अठारहवीं सदी में काउन्सिल ऑफ़ गवर्नर जनरल के एक सदस्य मैकाले ने इस देशवासियों के लिये शिक्षा का माध्यम अंगरेजी करने सम्बन्धी अपने प्रस्ताव पर जोर देते हुए कहा था कि मैं ऐसे भारतीयों का निर्माण करना चाहता हूँ जो शरीर, रंग, रूप व शक्ल से तो भारतीय हों परन्तु भाषा, वेष-भूषा, आचार-व्यवहार से अंग्रेज हों तथा ब्रिटीश राजमुकुट के प्रति वफादार हों.

मैकाले का यह स्वप्न उसके जीवन काल में तो सत्य नहीं हो सका, यहाँ तक कि उसके देशवासियों के शासनकाल में भी सत्य नहीं हो सका. परन्तु स्वतन्त्र भारत में मैकाले का स्वप्न सत्य हो रहा है.

आज हम भाषा से परतंत्र हैं, वेष-भूषा, से परतंत्र हैं, आचार-व्यवहार से परतंत्र हैं, शिक्षा, चिकित्सा, जीवन-शैली सभी से परतंत्र हैं, परन्तु मिथ्या दंभ भरते हैं कि हमें स्वतंत्र हुए ६५ वर्ष हो चुके हैं.

हिंदी-दिवस के अवसर पर हम परमपिता परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करते हैं कि वे हम सवा सौ करोड़ भारतीयों को सद्बुद्धि प्रदान करें कि हम शीघ्र ही सच्चे अर्थों में एक स्वतन्त्र देश के नागरिक बन सकें.

हिंदी-दिवस पर यही शुभकामना है.
