Renault launches the Scala automatic

Renault India Pvt. Ltd announced the price for the X-tronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) variant of the Renault Scala. With the all-new X-tronic transmission system, the Scala CVT promises to offer higher fuel efficiency and performance as well as a lower cost of ownership than competitive automatic premium sedans. Scala CVT combines pioneering composition with flexibility to provide a benchmark-setting alternate option to existing offerings in the segment with a class-leading fuel efficiency of 17.97kmpl, which is also comparable to premium sedans with manual transmission.

Speaking on the occasion, Marc Nassif - MD, Renault India Pvt. Ltd. said, “With more and more cars on the road as well as frequent stop-and-go traffic, India has been seeing an increase in demand for automatic sedans in recent years. However, despite the growing interest for these cars, petrol automatic vehicles are still limited to a 6% share in the premium sedan segment because they deliver lower mileage and higher cost of ownership”.

Loaded with an array of features, the Scala CVT will be available in two petrol variants – the RxL and the RxZ. The variant RxL will offer features including 15’’ sporty alloys, dual airbags, Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, electric adjustable mirrors, automatic climate control, multi-information display as well as chrome door handles. The RxZ will additionally offer automatic foldable mirrors, leather upholstery and chrome radiator grille.

The Renault Scala RxL X-tronic CVT will be available at Rs. 8,99,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the Renault Scala RxZ X-tronic CVT will be priced at Rs. 9,89,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
