Renault extends Fluence Range

Renault South Africa has extended its Fluence sedan range with the all new, budget friendly Fluence Authentique. Four models are currently available in the Fluence range with a mix of 1.6 and 2.0 litre engines. 


The main focus of the Renault Fluence range since its launch in March 2011 has been value for money, something cash strapped South Africans can appreciate. The new Fluence is powered by the same 1.6 litre engine used in the Expression and Dynamique models and the four cylinder unit produces 81kW of power at 6 000 rpm with a peak torque figure of 156Nm at 4 400 r/min, making it a ample city cruiser. A five-speed manual transmission comes standard.


The Authentique gobbles fuel at a rate of 6.5 litres / 100km with a CO2 rating of 159g / km. One of the main advantages of the Authentique, as with all the models in the Fluence range, is the safety features. The Authentique is equipped with ABS brakes with emergency brake assist (EBA) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD). Six airbags come standard with Isofix child seat mounting points on the outer rear seats, perfect for doing those weekly school runs. The Authentique also comes with air conditioning and electric windows.  


If you are looking for value for money, you might want to consider the Renault Authentique, at R190 000 it might just be what the doctor ordered.


What are thoughts on the new Renault Authentique?
