French carmaker Renault today launched its luxury sedan ‘Fluence’ in India with both petrol and diesel options, priced between Rs 12.99 lakh and Rs 14.40 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
“The Renault Fluence was designed for the Asian market and hence we are confident that it will not only shake up the segment, but also give the Indian customer their first taste of what Renault is capable of bringing to the Indian market,” Renault India Managing Director, Mr Marc Nassif, told presspersons here.
This is the first Renault branded car to be assembled in India at its Chennai facility, he added.
Petrol variant of the Fluence will come with a 2 litre engine while the diesel option will be powered by a 1.5 litre engine.
Renault, along with its global alliance Nissan, has committed an investment of Rs 4,500 crore by 2015 at Chennai facility, which will have a total production capacity of 4 lakh units a year.
The French company is currently considering setting up an engine plant at the facility.
After Fluence, Renault will introduce a sports utility vehicle ‘Koleos’ this year, followed by three more cars in 2012.
