Exterior Nice, exact french design,very good appaeal on the road, good fit finish including paint jobs. The headlamps and rearlamps looks diffrent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is awsome, even for six feet guy can sit comfortably at rear even the seats are pulled back,good comfort, especialy rear seats with under thigh support as well.Many features are frech like audio controlls are behind the steering wheel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearb Nice angine with variable geometry turbo, responsive, execellent fuel economy getting over 18KMPL at 2000 km, Gear box is a smooth. When the turbo strats the engine delivering tremendous power making  whistles in higher speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good ride and handling, especially with poth-holed roads and bumps.Drriven through all bad n hilly roads. Steering is a fantasic,Excellent stability at higher speeds and also well weighted one.

Final Words A very good European car with all practaicality for indian market like fuel economy, space, ride quality, ground clearence,and also french design at good price.

Areas of improvement In petrol version having all the goodies, but some of them are missing in diesel ,like parking sensors USB port .

Size,Looks,Space,fuel efficiency,Ride & Build quality.Many goodies are missing from petrol to diesel, like USB port,parking sensors ,revers gear cam port,

Exterior WHEN U DRIVES AND IT COMPELLS SOMEBODY TO SEE IT,GIVES A PROUD TO BE OWNED IT AND CREDIT GOES TO IT'S CUTY BUTY EXTERIORS.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) ALTHOUGH UPHOLSTRY IS OF SUPERIOR QUALITY EVEN THEN NOT UPTO MARK.NO DOUBT ITS QUITE SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE FOR LONG JOURNEY BUT MIDDLE SEAT AT REAR BENCH IS NOT COMFORTABLE IF U WANT TO ACCOMODATE THREE.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I M NOT HAVING MUCH TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE BUT ON THE BASIS OF EXPERIENCE OF 10 DIFFERENT VEHICLES I CAN SAY THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE CAN BE COMPARED IN PICK UP AND TRACTION CONTROL. ENGINE CAN BE SAID AS LITTLE NOISY BUT NOT INSIDE.

Ride Quality & Handling SUPERB AS I COVERED 12OOO KMS JUST SINCE 20TH JULY, FEELING OF SAFETY COMES AUTOMATICALLY.

Final Words CONSISTENT, SAFE AND HEAVY BUILT GIVING ME MILAGE OF 14-17 IN CITY AND 16-18.5 ON HIGHWAY.

Areas of improvement NEW VERIANT OF DIESAL IS ALREADY ON THE WAY BUT CERTAINLY, EVEN FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS UPGRADATION IN MUSIC SYSTEM ESPICIALLY RE USB AND SPEAKERS IS MUST. IM NT SATISFIED WITH WIPERS ALSO.COMPANY'S PR IS EXCELLENT BUT POOR DEALERSHIP IS A MINUS POINT.

NO COMPARE OF ITS RUNNING,SPACIOUS,FUEL ECONOMYINTERIORS,REAR SEAT DISCOMFORT & WIPERS

Exterior Execellent. Nothing to complain

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very specious. Best cabin space in this segment. Instument panel is very attractive and stylish. I simply like it. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It will just say Wow!!!..amazing pickup and engine power. 106 ps for 1461cc engine. It's awesome. Initial pickup is little bit less till 1000-1500 rpm but I think it's applicable for every disel engine. You can't compare with a Petrol engine. Gearbox is really smooth and perfectly tuned. In city you can get 15-16 km/l and in highway 19-20 easily.

Ride Quality & Handling Again wow!!!...I drove in the Bangalore city as well as Bangalore-Hyderabad highway. Its amaging dear...easily touch 150-160. you will not face any problem. Solid build quality and amazing handling. Suspension is also very good in rear sit.

Final Words Nothing to complain. Only price I think is little bit in higher side. But if you want real driving pleasure and can spend 14-15 lakh. close your eyes, go for it.

Areas of improvement Nothing. only my concern is Renault network should be improved in India. Also they should focus on reducing the servicing cost. Renault doesn't have any free service. Only you will get 2nd, 10th and 20th service is Labour free. Servicing cost is approx 7000-8000 per year.

Looks, Performance, StyleNothing

I bought Renault's Fluence in April 2013 from  Renault Delhi West and within a matter of 2 months I have started facing serious issues with their after sales service. While driving the vehicle in the last rains supprisingly my car's dead axile got damaged and I had to call for the company's service vehicle to help me with the problem. No doubt their service vehicle came on time but i was informed that the axile needs to be replaced and so i sent my vehicle for  axile replacement on 9th July 2013.Since then my car is in the company's workshop and till date the workshop representatives tell me that they are yet to receive the new part from the company's factory. It is shocking to note that the car which was launched years back does not even have a proper service support for the customers. Further I also noticed in the company's workshop that not less then 20 more vehicles are  dumped there solely because of the shortage of parts.  I drove the car only for 1782 kms and now my brand new car is dumped in the workshop till now. Now I feel that I have wasted my money in this vehicle and having such a bitter experience I very strongly suggest that if anyone is thinking of buying this vehicle then they should at least wait for a couple of years more till the time their after sales service improves else you ll regret the fact of wasting your money and being associated with such a company.

comfortable and good lookspathetic aftersales service, shortage of essential parts, poor fuel economy, total wastage of money

Exterior Looks supercedes any car in its range like laura, civic, corolla, elantra etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Intelligent car! Not a chinese gadget , sensible , responsive and ofcourse very cosy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pickup, durable engine, 18-19kmpl on noida roads, what else could u expect??

Ride Quality & Handling Put the traction control ON and start drifting and dragging. Very heavy, stable and balanced machine.

Final Words If you wanna feel exclusive -Go for it !!

Its not everyone's cup of tea. Indian market likes gadgetory things more.....but this one has limited faltu things, only sensible controls !!

U stop the engine, walk out of the car......music, lights, ac everythings takes care on its own.....

Walk 2 feet away and the car is locked!!!

Touch the door handle and its open !!

Very few indian car owners know about " Deadlock " feature.....this one has got it ;), Just love its engineering.

Areas of improvement Renault  manufacturers !!! Start advertising this  vehicle, no awareness into the market. Open more stores, workshops! I bought it on my birthday, august. I am in love with the machine since then! Go for black colour !! Looks simply stunning.

Aerodynamics, appealing looks, great mileage (18-19)kmpl, good dashboard, huge bootUnderpower!
