| Car maker Renault India today launched a new diesel variant of its premium sedan 'Fluence' in the country,this new version is called the Fluence E4 D. It is priced at Rs 15.20 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi) . "Fluence was the first offering from Renault in India. The new upgraded variant is about our commitment to the Indian market and is a result of the feedback we received from our customers," Renault India Managing Director Marc Nassif told reporters here. The new Fluence will be powered by 1.5 litre Energy dCi 110., which will give a mileage of 20.4 kilometre per litre, he added. 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. 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.
