How is Renault Fluence

vimalandrew

Today I found some advertisements that Renault fluence 2017 with 19900 euros. Is it a good and reliable one. Can I compare it with Avensis or Superb. I mean in terms of interior space such as back seat leg room. Or is it like Octavia or Corolla. I could not find Fluence in Renault website.

New Fluence is now the Megane Sport Coupe. It's just a saloon version of the Megane.

It's not anything as big as a Superb but it is a good car for its class.

Wouldn't disagree with any of that to be honest. I just hate how they call it a Sports Coupe when its just a saloon.

The fluence was related to the Megane 3, which has now been replaced by the current model Megane. It was also sold as a Samsung in Korea. They may well be still building the affluence for other markets but my understanding is they're not selling it in Europe anymore, given that the hilariously named Megane Sports Coupe is based on the Megane 4, its as near a replacement to the affluence as you're going to get.

The fact that they were selling new Fluences for €15k 5 or so years ago always sticks in my mind.

Size wise it competes with the Corolla/Jetta/Focus/Octavia type stuff, which is a size smaller than an Avensis/Passat/Mondeo/Superb

Interestingly (?) the Renault 9 was built in the 21st century in Colombia.

The Fluence is a Megane with a boot, it is not in the same class as an Avensis or Superb. It is in the same class as a Corolla and Octavia. They are not on the Renault website anymore as the Fluence has now been replaced by the Megane Grand Coupe.

Thus Renault has nothing compatible with avensis, Mondeo, superb.

Renault don't sell anything here that competes in the Avensis/Superb class.

No, they have a model called the Talisman, but as far as I know they won't be selling it here. They'll get a few saloon drivers into Kadjar SUVs as the sector is booming at the moment, the large non premium family saloon market is shrinking, Toyota probably won't bring out a new model Avensis, and VW group seem to have that segment sewn up as they've nailed the formula for what buyers in this class want.

I am looking at maybe buying a 2015 Fluence myself. I did a test drive and didn't think the acceleration was great. Plenty of room.

Almost as comical as the Daihatsu Applause or Misubishi Carisma.

Ah yes, the mk2 Megane saloon was called the Sports Saloon

Grand Coupe is still a stupid name. But sure they called the mk2 3 door hatch a Coupe as well so what the hey.

GavMan

It is stupid but in saying that I've bought one.

Sure if Merc/BMW/Audi can do it, why not Renault
