Renault, the French auto maker, is going to launch its new entry-level sedan called Scala in the Indian market on September 7, 2012. Buoyed by the sales of its immensely popular compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) Duster, the company is aiming to gain a foothold on Indian turf by introducing its aggressively priced Scala saloon , which is expected to start from Rs. 5.9 lacs and may be available in both diesel and petrol models.
The French car maker has incorporated sublime interior and exterior attributes that will put the Scala sedan stand out among its rivals. The car's USP will be its roomy and well devised cabin, besides several other eye catching features are also expected in the car like high quality beige upholstery and a high rated air conditioning system with automatic climate control. The yet to be launched car is expected to come with top-notch safety features like Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution System (EBD) along with well designed suspension mechanics, which will ensure safety of the driver as well as the passengers in the vehicle.
Renault Scala is expected to fill in the boots of the company's previous offering Logan, which has been phased out in the country. The upcoming car is expected to carry a price tag around Rs. 5.9 lacs with top-end models anticipated to be priced between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 80,000, higher than the base model. Renault Scala is believed to be a re-badged version of Nissan Sunny and is expected it to have similar configuration and performance characteristics like its twin sister.
The upcoming car is anticipated to be launched it both petrol and diesel variants in the country and Renault is believed to be holding high hopes from the Scala as the French auto maker had a terrific year and is focused to end the year on a good note with its new offering in the Indian car market. It seems as if the company is aiming to capitalise on the high demand of diesel fuelled vehicles in the country and the diesel version of Scala is expected to earn greater dividends for the company than its petrol partner.
