New Renault Fluence

The face-lifted Renault Fluence will make its debut at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show. The changes have been mostly to the exterior of the car while retaining the most of the old looks but with a twist. New Renault Fluence now has the new Renault front which means a bigger and a more aggressive grille. Its front end now has the vertically-set logo at the centre of a broad black strip. 

You would also have noticed the LED daytime running lights. At the rear the changes are not that major but overall the Fluence now has more presence. The interior has been subtly tweaked too but the impressive space remains. There are a few new additions to the features list.

From the basic model, all versions now have Bluetooth radios equipped with USB.

The New Renault Fluence also has the Renault R-Link multimedia system which will provide connected services. Renault R-Link incorporates the navigation system and telephony function and can be connected to portable music players.

There are two new engine options- a 1.6 petrol and diesel that will join the current line-up. The new petrol engine makes 115 bhp and the diesel makes 130 bhp. Also new is the  X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission. Expect it to arrive next year.
