Renault Pulse will soon be available in both the fuel variants. The car is already available in the robust diesel engine. However, it will soon be available in the refined petrol engine also. This is really a contrasting move from the company considering that most of its vehicles were running on diesel. In fact the first car Renault India brought on was Renault Fluence sedan, which was available in both diesel as well as petrol variant. Later the Koleos SUV entered the market which is only offered in diesel version.
The petrol variant of Renault Pulse will be having a 1.2 litre, 3 cylinder petrol engine which will delivers 80 BHP of power. Strangely, one would also be eagerly be awaiting the price tag of the Renault Pulse because the Renault Fluence petrol price is higher than its diesel version. The petrol version of Renault Fluence sedan has automatic transmission, whereas the diesel version has been bestowed with the manual gearbox. Therefore, there is a slight possibility that Renault Pulse petrol variant might be blessed with an automatic gearbox.
This means that the Renault Pulse which has been inspired from the Nissan Micra platform will be costlier than its inspiration in the market. The Renault Pulse diesel has a 4 cylinder in-line K9K diesel engine with a displacement of 1461 cc which delivers 64 Ps of peak power at 4000 rpm and 160 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm.
The Robust diesel vehicle also delivers a highly robust mileage of 23.08 kmpl and hits the 100 km mark in just 14.5 seconds with a top speed of 160 kmph. This means the car is a nippy mover on the busy city streets and good hitch on the long escapades as well.
The Renault Pulse weighs just 970 kg. The length of Renault Pulse is 3805 mm. The width is 1665 mm with a height of 1525 mm. The wheel base of Renault Pulse is 2450 mm. The base model of Pulse diesel (RxL) has been priced very competitively at Rs. 5.77 lakhs while the top-end RxZ version is priced at Rs.6.25 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Renault Pulse competes with likes of the Nissan Micra, Honda Jazz and the Volkswagen Polo in the premium hatchback segment.
