Renault has just now announced the launch of the Fluence in India.

The Fluence diesel is powered by a 1.5 liter motor producing 106 PS of power at 4000 RPM and 240 Nm of torque at 2000 RPM. The Fluence petrol is powered by a 2.0 liter engine producing 137 PS of power at 6000 RPM and 190 Nm of torque at 3700 RPM.

There is a mistake in price list where is says..
The Fluence is available in both diesel and petrol engine options with the diesel being priced at Rs. 12.99 lakhs and the diesel at Rs. 14.40 lakhs (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
The petrol is at 14.40lakhs.
Thanks Mr. D. It has been corrected.
renault all set to fail again. this time they got the pricing incorrect. This motor dosen’t deserve this price.
1.5 Diesel engine priced more that 15 lakh who will buy this car. Look at the Corrolla Altis Diesel where is that car, I can hardly see that car. People will buy Chevy Cruze, Skoda Laura, VW Jetta instead of that.
ya you are right
cool car but can it compete with its rival and their reputation
they should provide 1.8 diesel instead of 1.5
