Renault Malaysia has announced the “Renault Fluence It’s a Big Deal” campaign, where you can now own 2016 display units from just RM79,888 on-the-road without insurance (for selected variants). To put that into context, that is a C-segment vehicle at around B-segment prices, the company says.
Powering the Fluence is a 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 143 hp at 6,000 rpm and 195 Nm of torque at 3,700 rpm, mated to an X-Tronic CVT. Standard equipment on the sedan includes a seven-inch touchscreen display, R-Link infotainment system, six airbags and keyless operation.
The promotion is for the 2016 model year display cars with the pre-facelift look, with fabric seats. It does not include the five-year free service package that the Fluence usually gets.
The campaign is now ongoing until September 30, 2016, or while stocks last. Each purchase also comes with a five-year/unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty. For more information, click here.
