Renault Launches Fluence Facelift In Malaysia

By Ajinkya

Renault have unveiled the new facelifted version of the Fluence in Malaysia, which is already on sale in India. The unveil was done in Malaysia owing to the new tie-up with Malaysian authorities to locally manufacture the French brand's sedan.

The French manufacturer will further grow its presence in the south-east part of Asia, owing to their new manufacturing facility in Malaysia. Renault will manufacture their products from their facility at Segambut. The French manufacturer believes there is great potential in the Asian markets and is betting big on it.

The 2014 Renault Fluence will be available in a single drivetrain option. A 2.0-litre petrol powered 4-cylinder engine will generate 195 Nm of peak torque along with 143 horsepower. The engine will be offered with an X Tronic CVT gearbox.

The French manufacturer claims their 2014 Fluence sedan can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a decent 10 seconds flat. Renault say they're engine is capable of hitting top speed in the higher 190's km/h, while still returning a fuel efficiency of 7.7 litres for every 100 kilometres.

The 2014 facelift to the French designed Fluence consists of mild changes to the exterior with projectors for the headlights, auto headlights and wipers along with 17-inch alloy wheels. The front grille has been redesigned too and looks more elegant than before.
