Renault launches Pulse in diesel guise only at Rs 5.77 lakh

We have already set our eyes upon Renault Pulse hatchback once before back in October soon after the first Indian F1 race. And after almost three months later, the French car manufacturer has launched the most anticipated hatchback amidst an equally prominent event of the country, the 2012 Auto Expo this season. The hatchback has been launched in diesel guise only in two variants viz; Renault Pulse RLX and Renault Pulse RXZ priced at Rs 5.77 lakh and 6.25 lakh (ex-showroom prices) respectively. Renault is also offering 2+2 years of warrenty or 80,000 kms whatever happens first.

Powered with the 1.5 DCi diesel engine, the car will deliver a promising mileage of 23.8 kmpl. Renault Pulse is another car from the auto giant to see a localised production at their Chennai plant in Oragadam it shares with Nissan.  Built along the same lines as Nissan Micra sharing the same V platform, the Renault Pulse is powered by an all-diesel K9K engine to belt out 64 Bhp peak power @ 4000 rpm and and 160 Nm of peak torque at 2000 rpm. The aggressive looking compact hatchback except for the frontal look is more like the Nissan Micra we have been seeing so far especially along the interiors and the dashboard settings.
