Official Renault distributor TC Euro Cars has unveiled a new limited edition of the Fluence sedan. Called the Renault Fluence Formula Edition, the new variant commemorates Renault’s return to Formula One as a works team, in the lead up to the 2016 Malaysia Grand Prix on October 2.
The Formula Edition retails at RM126,688 on-the-road without insurance, some RM6,800 more expensive than the regular Fluence in top-spec Dynamique trim. For that, you get a five-piece bodykit, reverse sensors (the Fluence only has a reverse camera) and French tricolore stripes, while the interior receives gloss black trim and maroon leather upholstery.
The 17-inch two-tone alloys remain, but the grey bits have been substituted for gloss black. Elsewhere, kit count stays the same, and includes features like keyless entry, push-button start, cruise control, an R-Link infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen, USB and Bluetooth, automatic air-conditioning, rear air vents, six airbags and stability control.
Under the bonnet, the Formula Edition is identical to any other Fluence, so a 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine – derived from the previous Nissan Sylphy – produces 143 hp at 6,000 rpm and 195 Nm of torque at 3,700 rpm. It’s paired with an X-Tronic CVT, enabling the Fluence to hit 100 km/h in 10.1 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 195 km/h. It’s claimed to average 7.7 litres per 100 km (13.0 km/l).
Available only in Black Metallic or White Pearl, the Fluence Formula Edition comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer’s warranty as well as a five-year free service package, as with the standard Fluence.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
They just ruined the car
This, Civic or 80K discounted Jetta? U think
I will get this limited edition, i got all limited edition cars at home
80K Jetta brand new? Just take my money. If >100K, no way man.
None. would get a pre owned 2015 Passat for RM95,000.00. But, i have no money, so just drive my 1994 Potong Saga forever and “proud” of it. *cry*
The bodykits are okay, it makes the car look lower now. But those tasteless stripes..
The same vehicle ithey advertise rm79888 now the same thing with add on plastic and fiber is almost 50k more good luck selling it.
Bila nak discount ?
Same marketing trick as Hyundai Elantra last time wit those “limited 0-999” barcoded design, sure wont work
That is too cheesy… Try harder Renault!
Formula Edition fancy way for saying clearing stock.
If you name fomula next time make sure it is fomula in engine and ride not just makeup and jackup it make you stupid. Looks like the new magane replace fluence
Tan Chong sop. Add useless bodykit and called it by sporty name. Useless management. Useless company as a whole. Cheapskate and tries to cheat customer.
F1 Renault = add sticker
Nismo Nissan = add bodykit
Impul Nissan = add bodykit but suspension is optional and power is the same
Viva la France! If taximen uses this car, they will be able to French Revolution Uber/Grab.
Liberty for taximen! Equality for taximen! Fraternity for taximen!
Bantah Uber/Grab! Bantah SPAD! Bantah NajibBNGov!
is this a joke? hahaha
Tan Chong is a joke
Thought formula edition like formula racing spec! Rupa-rupa tambah barang jer ke. Enjin sama seperti standard.
I thought the stickers themselves add another 50bhp..
At this price, probably people will be looking for sunroof + turbo 7.5 seconds to pay this kind of price for a C-segment Renault.
VW Passat maybe ok at this price.
Special editions are important for luxury or ultraluxury brands/models, not a Renault; I would want a special Edition188 Renault sportscar if it can achieve century sprint in 1.88 seconds and is famous for that.
Another proof of Tan Chong backward thinking, failed attempt at selling car. Only knows how to make body kit and never offers any real substances to consumer. Offers multiple rip off choices instead. Can’t even give a reverse camera for Fluence. A car cost Rm120k and no reverse camera. Even a cheapo Myvi or Bezza comes with reverse camera.
They have shamed the good name of Nissan and now they are doing the same for Renault.
Either they need to fire those old man in TC or the principals should fire TC and find a better partner or come directly.
Wei… RAPID KL wei…. Renault Fluence Rapid KL edition.
hahaha…’bodykit’ again….side skirt say la…what bodykit??
typical way to sell old stock in malaysia…add ‘bodykit’, add some stripes…^^
paying 6.8k but the sticker at rear boot lid also not properly installed. kemon lah renault
just decals, not worth it to pay that premium.
Guess what? it must be the idea from the same person in Tan Chong that handles Nissan tune by impul.
No sticker 80k
with sticker 127k…
WOW! Now got reverse sensors!
next article please
Formula edition LOL, no changes in performance, only stickers. Bloody hell no reverse sensors in original model, now only adding. Truly not expected for a RM130K car.
Save the 127K, buy 2010 F10 328i,its cheaper, more powerful. No bullshit , If you cant afford roadtax, get the 2.0 version – more cheaper , will definitely make you smile everyday to work.
basically, take the unsold stock, put some sticker,serial number and increase the price as ‘special edition’?
Buy this and free a Twizy, maybe I will consider…
Tan Chong was great at doing that with Nissan Sentra. It was reincarnated many times over.
Applying the same fomula wont wokr this time. Anyways Good Luck TC Euro
Seriously, is TC EuroCar for real? IMHO, for RM127K, they should have at least provided thicker front and rear Ultra Racing sway bars, K&N Drop-Filters, 18′ rims with 235-45-18 Y rated tires, front & rear bumper sensors, Remapped ECU and TCU, it would make some sense….Putting cheapskate spoilers, leather interior and expecting such a high premium, I guess the ‘folks’ at TC Eurocar must have been ‘snorting’ way too much of the ‘powder’ to conjure up a crazy price point, for a ‘jumbled up’ product……good luck…!!!
One word: RICE
Why not put in a 250hp engine and sell it at 50k?
Someone will buy …
