scala rxe variant
Without any fanfare Renault India has launched a new base variant of the Scala sedan. The new Scala RxE diesel variant is priced at INR 8.29 lakhs, which is Rs 50,000 cheaper than the now mid variant, Scala RxL.

Renault Scala RxE will be powered by the same 1.5L K9K diesel engine, rated at 82 HP and 200 Nm of torque, mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. Renault has not released details about the new base trim yet.

In other Renault India news, the automaker has issued recalls for the Scala sedan and Pulse hatchbacks. The recall was expected since Nissan first recalled the Sunny and Micra models just two days back. The issue, faulty Master Brake Cylinders, is the same as the Nissan models. The Sunny/Scala sedan and Micra/Pulse hatchback models are manufactured at the Chennai plant, which both manufacturers share.

Renault has issued recalls for 2836 Pulse and 4180 Scala units manufactured between June 2012 and March 2013. Renault will contact individual owners affected by the recall and Renault dealers will replace the faulty part free of cost.
