About
The Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ is essentially a rebadged and slightly more upmarket version of the Nissan Micra. It is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 63 bhp and 160 Nm of torque, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is known for its smooth and refined engine, excellent ride quality, and good handling characteristics. The interior is well-designed and spacious, with features like keyless entry, central locking, digital odometer, automatic climate control, and steering-mounted controls. However, it lacks certain safety features like ABS, even in the top variant. Despite its discontinuation, the Pulse remains a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and efficient hatchback with a stylish exterior and comfortable interior.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ is a well-rounded package that offers a compelling blend of style, performance, and practicality. The 1.5-litre diesel engine provides excellent driveability and refinement, making it a joy to drive in both city traffic and on highways, although it lacks top-end grunt. The ride quality is exceptional, absorbing rough roads with ease, and the handling is commendable despite some body roll. However, the braking system is a letdown, lacking the bite and stability that ABS would provide. Interior design is stylish and spacious, with generous legroom and boot space, though the quality could be improved. Overall, its a great city car, but some technical aspects, such as the braking system and absence of ABS, need attention.
Price
The Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ, although discontinued since 2017, was priced competitively during its time. The ex-showroom price for the top-end RxZ variant was around Rs. 6.95 lakh. On-road prices varied by location but typically added another Rs. 1-1.5 lakh, including taxes, registration, and insurance, bringing the total to approximately Rs. 8.45-8.95 lakh. Given its features and performance, it was a good value for money, especially when compared to its Nissan Micra counterpart.

Renault India has clarified that the Renault Pulse, including the Diesel RxZ variant, will be produced on a made-to-order basis for customers who request it, rather than being completely discontinued. This move is aimed at catering to loyal customers who still prefer the model. I think this strategy shows Renaults commitment to its customer base.

Renault offered festive season benefits on the Pulse, including cash benefits of up to Rs. 40,000 or attractive interest rates on available stocks. This was an attempt to boost sales of the model, which has seen sluggish demand in the Indian market.

The Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ comes equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, producing 84 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It also features automatic climate control, leather seat upholstery, and rear AC vents, making it a comfortable ride. I believe these features make it a solid choice in its segment.

The Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ boasts a spacious boot with 490 liters of capacity and features like power windows, electrically adjustable ORVMs, and a rear defogger. These practical features enhance the overall driving and passenger experience. I believe these are significant selling points for the vehicle.

User Reviews for Renault Pulse (2017)
Reviews Submitted by Maxabout Community
My father in law gifted me the pulse on my birthday. It was really unexpected because nobody in the family has a Renault car. so when I first took a drive of the car all my doubts were out of my head. I loved the car and how it races up the road without complaining. Inside it is so silent that you will not feel you are in a car. Now my business trips are so relaxed because the car has everything. Power point, climate control ac, a good music system, so much boot space and automatic headlamps, ABS, EBD, airbags. I have no worries. For the first time in my life my car has become my best friend after my phone.
Best Features: Climate control, ABS, EBD
Pros: Looks, performance, space and mileage
Cons: Did not find anything worth complaining about

Renault Pulse Diesel RxZ Discussion
cars sharing platform and engines but that can’t be referred as
rebadging because they are different in terms of body panels and
interiors. Rebadged cars are almost identical to each other in every
aspect. It’s the way of saving money and time for those auto giants
which have multiple brands. It’s always costly and time consuming to
develop a whole new car. In other international markets, it’s a regular
practice but it’s new for Indians. The French car makers, Renault have
introduced this concept in India. Renault has launched a hatchback known
as Pulse which is nothing else than an altered version of its alliance
Nissan’s Micra. After the failure of Logan in India
micra se kyon banaya isse...
