How Much: Rs 4.5-6.5 lakh
Renault and Nissan share the same plant in Chennai to manufacture their cars for the Indian car market. The two automakers have a global joint-venture to share their technology as well. Renault now plans to launch a new small car, which will be based on the Micra platform.
Design
The Pulse will be based on the Micra platform and will have the same underpinnings -- struts for the front and torsion beam at the rear. It will also be more aggressive in terms of styling.
Engine
The Pulse will be powered by the same three pot 1.2-litre petrol engine which does duty on the Micra.
Features
Built with the qualities of the Micra, the Pulse will feature most of the bells and whistles of a premium hatchback.
Competitors
The Pulse will compete with the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Rtiz, Hyundai i20, Skoda Fabia, Fiat Grande Punto, Volkswagen Polo, Chevrolet Beat, Ford Figo and, of couse, its sibling, the Micra.
Overall Evaluation
The Pulse will be priced a notch higher than the Micra. Since Renault is trying to establish itself as a premium brand in India, it might find the going tough in the beginning. And it will all boil down to the build quality and Renault's service network.
Specs
Engine: 1.2-litre, three cylinder petrol engine
Power: 75bhp
