Most Helpful Review

Far too pricey

The Skoda should have come in way cheaper to about 25 L on road. There is no sedan between 18-30 L apart from the Elantra. Skoda will lose out on sales and I am sure that if she was priced better people would choose it. The previous generation had the 1.5 TSI available. Now even it does not get a diesel option. Honda civic made a mistake by going for a CVT in petrol and manual diesel and we know how the sales of that turned out to be. Skoda needs to consider again their prices or atleast come up with more engine options. If Kia and Nissan come up with their respective sedan models the sedan market is for sure going to pick up provided the prices are reasonable

Worst Service Experience

A very comfortable car for long drives but the problem is with reno service. You have to spend atleast 80000 per year for its maintainance and the resell value is nothing more than 3 lakhs. Having bought it for 17 lakhs and then selling it for 3 lakhs is the worst feeling you can have on your own decision after driving it only for 70000 km.

2014 Renault Fluence

By Charles Pennefather09 Apr 2014

The Fluence has a difficult job. It lies in a segment of the market that covers a range of nearly ten lakh rupees. At the bottom end are the likes of the Honda City and Hyundai Verna, that offer more legroom and gizmos than ever before. At the other end lies the Skoda Superb – and these are only the sedans. We haven’t considered the Maruti Ertiga and Honda Mobilio, and the cars that are generating the most sales in the price bracket: the SUVs. Sure, one of the most successful is from the Renault stable itself, but that only makes the Fluence’s job harder. How, then has Renault managed to update the Fluence to battle a shrinking segment?
