Renault Scala (2017) Updates

Tuesday, 10 October 2017 06:33 AM Renault India has officially discontinued the production of the Renault Scala sedan in India due to poor sales. The last units were sold in early 2017, with no sales recorded since March of that year. This decision marks the end of the Scalas run, which was launched in August 2012. I think this was a necessary move given the sluggish sales figures.

Tuesday, 03 February 2015 11:47 PM The Renault Scala was recalled in India due to faulty airbag issues. This recall affected 646 units of the Pulse and Scala models, highlighting the importance of safety checks. Its good to see manufacturers taking proactive steps to ensure customer safety.

Monday, 16 June 2014 09:24 AM Renault India relaunched the Scala Travelogue Edition in an effort to boost sales. This special edition was available in RxL and RxZ trims and started at Rs 8,47,866 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Travelogue Edition was a repeat from the previous year, indicating a strategy to attract more buyers. I believe such editions can sometimes revitalize interest in a model.

Sunday, 25 August 2013 09:51 PM The Renault Scala was praised for its comfortable cabin space and smooth ride quality, making it ideal for chauffeur-driven owners. However, it was criticized for feeling outdated compared to its rivals and for the petrol engines average performance. These mixed reviews reflected the cars strengths and weaknesses in the market.

Saturday, 19 January 2013 01:05 AM Renault fulfilled its promise of introducing five new products in the Indian market by the end of 2012, with the Scala being the last new product launched. The Scala was a re-badged version of the Nissan Sunny, with significant changes to the exterior styling. This launch was part of Renaults aggressive expansion strategy in India.

Friday, 07 September 2012 08:44 PM The Renault Scala was launched on September 7, 2012, and was available in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol variant produced 99bhp and 134Nm of torque, while the diesel variant generated 86bhp and 200Nm of torque. Both engines were mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

Saturday, 25 August 2012 07:54 PM Renault India announced the upcoming launch of the Scala, which was set to compete in the mid-size sedan segment. The car was expected to offer a blend of comfort, features, and performance. This announcement generated significant interest among potential buyers.

Monday, 20 August 2012 09:10 PM The Renault Scala was noted for its standard safety features, including dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and adjustable front and rear headrests. These features were a highlight in a segment where safety was becoming increasingly important. I think these safety features were a wise inclusion by Renault.

Wednesday, 15 August 2012 11:20 PM Renault revealed that the Scala would have a spacious cabin, comfortable seats, and rear AC vents, making it a great option for family use. The car also featured an automatic climate control and engine start/stop button, enhancing its comfort and convenience.

Friday, 10 August 2012 11:05 AM The Renault Scala was confirmed to have a boot space of 490 litres and a fuel tank capacity of 41 litres. These specifications suggested that the car was designed with practicality in mind, catering to the needs of daily drivers.
