Updated Renault Pulse gets more equipment

The updated Pulse now gets a new dual-tone dashboard with a piano black finish on the center fascia, along with automatic headlights, height adjustable driver’s seat and steering mounted audio controls.

The Renault Pulse already gets keyless entry and go, auto folding wing mirrors, and a music system with Bluetooth and USB. The safety features include ABS, EBD, dual front airbags and crash sensors.

Mechanically, the updated Pulse retains the 1.5-litre K9K diesel and the 1.2-litre petrol. The car is on sale now, and prices start at Rs 5.03 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

This update comes across as an effort from the French carmaker to give the slow-selling Pulse a much needed push, at a time when the hatchback segment is one of the most hotly contested in the Indian car market.
