As promised at the launch of Renault Scala back in September 2012, the company has finally introduced the automatic version of the car in India today. The Scala CVT will be available in the RXL and RXZ petrol variants. With 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. 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 17.97 KMPL (ARAI figure), which is 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”.
“The Scala X-tronic CVT aims to bridge this gap by offering class-leading fuel efficiency, reliability and performance. With the next-generation X-tronic transmission, customers will be able to experience a new technological benchmark in automatic transmission, which offers a smoother ride, convenience and savings, making the Scala CVT an attractive choice for those opting for an automatic premium sedan.”
Launched in September 2012, the Scala has been gaining customer confidence, already reaching 8% market share in the premium sedan segment in December 2012. Scala has also won accolades from industry experts and customers alike, with over 3,000 units sold in 4 months. With the Scala CVT, Renault India aims to extend this success into the automatic sedan space, reiterating Renault’s commitment to India as well as the company’s drive to offer innovative vehicles in this dynamic market.
