Upgraded Fluence diesel launched

New 1.5 engine offers more power and better performance. Prices start at Rs 15.20 lakh.

Renault has launched the Fluence saloon with an updated diesel engine. This new version is called the Fluence E4 D. It is priced at Rs 15.20 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi) 

The upgraded Fluence comes with a new engine, called the 1.5 Energy dCi 110. It  features an upgraded turbo that helps power go upto 108bhp. The air intake has been simplified to achieve more efficient, up-rated turbo performance and this means, the updated Fluence should have a stronger bottom-end performance and reduced turbo-lag as compared to the current version.  This engine upgrade on the Fluence diesel seems quite a significant one.

The E4 D comes with features like cruise control, rain sensing wipers, chrome-lined trunk-lid and window sills, auto headlamps, rear parking sensors and electrically adjustable and foldable rear-view mirrors.

Interiors get leather upholstery, rear sun-blinds, USB and Bluetooth equipped audio system, dual-zone climate control and rear AC ducts.

Model Ex-showroom Price (Delhi)
Fluence E4D Rs.15.20 lakh
Jetta Rs. 15.21 lakh
Laura Rs.15.58 lakh
Cruze Rs. 13.80 lakh
Corolla Altis Rs. 14.93 lakh
