Continued: Cars saying goodbye India

Renault Fluence

The Renault Fluence has not had a good run in India. Over the past few months, the car has been selling in single digit numbers, which is really low even by the segment standards. The Fluence will soon leave the market due to this.

Why is it saying bye?

The Fluence globally has been replaced by a car called the Megane sedan. According to a report, the Megane sedan is going to be on sale in 20 countries, India being one of them. Now whether the company finally decides to bring in the car or not will be decided at a later date. But one thing is for sure, the Fluence name plate is going to be axed either which way.

Renault Koleos

The Koleos too has not been very fast moving. It is the only 5 seat diesel SUV in the market currently but yet finds no takers.

Why is it saying bye?

Over the past few months, Renault has not managed to sell even one unit of the Koleos. The current generation Koleos may soon be discontinued due to these dwindling numbers. There is an all new generation Koleos which was recently unveiled in the Brazilian market. Whether the company finds the market large enough to bring in the new vehicle or not is something that will be seen later. The new vehicle looks a lot sharper than the outgoing one and more in line with Renault’s global design language.

Chevrolet Cruze

Chevrolet Trailblazer

The Trailblazer didn’t really shake up the SUV market. In its current avatar, it is soon going to be discontinued.

Why is it saying bye?

GM India has already brought in the all new Trailblazer was homologation. The new vehicle will be launched later this year itself. The vehicle has already been spotted testing a few times in the country. It looks a lot sharper than the outgoing model. The interiors too have been spruced up. Under the hood though, the same 2.8 liter duramax engine will do duty.
