DocZ was telling me that Renault recently launched a slight facelifted version that he drove a few days back.

Not aware of what all has been changed, he should be able to tell us more.

When is this new facelifted car supposed to be launched? And what are the additions expected?

I have absolutely no idea about the facelifted version. I think the new fluence already has leather seats and all. I do not use cars much. I haven't in fact sat in fluence in last couple of months and in merc in last 6 months or so. They are just decorations for my house.

As the car was parked in front of the hospital @ davangere for TD we immedietly jumped into it.
This is the first Renault car i have driven so cant compare with the older model E2
Came to know from the sales guy it was the E4 fluence , 110bhp, 1.5 litre engine, 6 gears
From my point of view i was just looking at Handling and FTD aspects
we hit the NH4 and was quiet impressed with the pick up ,hit 165 and the handling @ 165 was very good!! overtaking was pretty cool ,absolutely no noise and the smoothness of the engine is amazing hard to tell its diesel
clutch and gears seemed ultra soft compared to my cruze , but then the E4 doesnt take off as the cruze

exterior remains the same

interiors was good ,dint notice it much ,the digital speedo meter looked impressive too

it should make for an excellent family car , for a 1.5 litre 110 bhp the E4 is pretty fast ,but IMO may not suit enthusiastic drivers

Rear space/boot space is huge

The indicator knob is on the left side and also reverse gear is lift knob and shift upwards

but 18.5L for the top end seemed expensive , sun roof not there even for top end
