    Renault unveils very familiar-looking Pulse small car in India

    Renault India has just unveiled its much-anticipated Pulse small car in India. It’s a surprise and not so much of a surprise as well. After expectations that its small car would look like the Modus or the Clio, or perhaps a combination of both, Renault did no such thing. Instead it just “badge-engineered” a Nissan Micra from its sister company, Nissan.

        Actually it is MICRA, little bit cosmetic touch-ups to differentiate like what done VW Vento and Skoda Rapid.

        Very disappointing! This is nothing but hoodwinking the public. This will negatively impact the image of both Nissan and Renault. (Please translate this into French and Japanese).

        This will flop real bad. Renault will continue paying the price for considering the Indian customer to be same as Mexican or Brazilian or South African.

        Let’s see, What the price tag is carry, but it should be competitive with other small diesel cars!

        the mileage nd performance is good because they are builting underpower engines only 63 64 bhp at 6000 rpm with 1500cc engine…so engines lyf is long for sure…..

    The Hyundai Eon small car which is an upcoming competitor to the Maruti Suzuki Alto was spotted in Cochin without any camouflage. The car, to be launched next week (October 13th), has a youthful appeal and will likely be loaded with features, according to a leaked brochure of the upcoming Eon.

        68 bhp makes liva stand in line with Figo diesel, so sufficient power… mileage of 23.59 kmpl means, on-road, we may get 18-20 kmpl… and its a proper 5 seater. only if you ignore some bad plastic bits, the car is a promising buy.

        Etios is an ugly looking ripped off vehicle and the same applies for Liva… Manza offers an unmatched 90ps wid class interiors… The petrol engine was too noisy.. I think the diesel version would suppress a bass tube easily and unbearable vibrations… Ppl who bought etios are not xactly happy customers… Its a cheat on brand name…

        The exterior of LIVA is good but the interior is too worse, as compared to any INDIAN hatchback!
        Toyota made a great car but due to interior it’s proven that TOYOTA doesn’t have experience in developing interior for INDIAN consumers!

        My Alto K10 gives 68ps of power out of 1000cc and only 760kgs. So power to weight ration is best in the class. And I get video games like control steering and maneuvering this car. On road priced me about 4 lakh. Of course with 2 wiper string not single as in Etios :)

        or even with a Ford Figo . And in this case the Liva’s engine will come and sit on the front seat .
        i have a Fiat Punto and my elder brother has a Ford Figo .
        And I love both the cars .
        It’s like best of both worlds .
