In 2012 at the international car exhibition in the Stambul Renault presented an updated version Fluence sedan. The front of the car received a new corporate identity of the brand, well remembered for the Clio hatchback. latest generation: Large chrome Renault logo set against a wide black stripe with narrow, shiny trims. Another innovation is the daytime running lights, whose style has also been emphasized in black and chrome. In addition, Fluence is installing a new digital panel appliances, better materials are used for interior trim. There are modifications with an advanced R-Link system, which manages navigation, telephone, music and various applications. Concerning power transmission, then a new 1.6-liter engine and a variator appeared for it. The composition of the kits has also been updated.
The simplest version of Authentique restyled Renault Fluence(with a 1.6 engine and a 5-speed "mechanics") halogen headlights are included, fabric upholstery salon, on-board computer, air conditioning with filter, central locking with remote control, front electric windows, driver's seat with height adjustment, electric and heated exterior mirrors, heated wiper rest area. The rear seat folds 1/1 and there is a full-size spare in the trunk. The Confort package includes LED daytime running lights, heated front seats, rear power windows, front armrest, folding rear seats (in a ratio of 1/3 to 2/3) with armrest, steering wheel in leather braid. The Limited Edition version adds cruise control, combined upholstery seats and interior elements brown. The top equipment is called Expression and includes: folding mirrors, rear LED lights, chip card with the "Hands-free" function, "Start / Stop" button instead of a key, automatic parking brake, dual zone climate control with air ducts for the rear seats, rear view camera.
A 1.6-liter 115-horsepower (155 Nm) petrol unit has been added to the engine lineup, which Renault proposes to use in conjunction with the latest generation X-Tronic CVT variator. In this version, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds, has a top speed of 175 km/h and a claimed average fuel consumption of 6.4 l/100 km. The former unit with a volume of 1.6 liters (106 hp) has also been preserved, but now it is equipped only with a 5-speed “mechanics”. The most powerful among those offered for Russian market fluence engines remains a 2-liter (137 hp), aggregated with a 6-speed manual gearbox or X-Tronic CVT variator.
When developing the Renault Fluence chassis, the goal of Renault engineers was to combine handling and stability with minimal noise and vibration levels, which is ensured by an independent front suspension design (McPherson) with rectangular lower control arms and semi-dependent rear suspension with twisted beam. Renault Fluence is equipped with an efficient braking system with large discs front and rear. The electric power steering combines quick steering response with better feedback. The minimum turning circle of this front wheel drive car- 11.1 m.
Of the security systems, the basic equipment includes: ABS with an assistance system for emergency braking AFU plus EBD brake force distribution system, frontal airbags (driver and passenger) with deactivated front airbag, child restraints Isofix seats. Confort includes fog lights, two front side airbags (driver and passenger). The Limited Edition package has front head restraints that are adjustable not only in height, but also in tilt, rear sensors parking, and the options include curtain airbags and a stabilization system exchange rate stability ESP. In addition to these functions, the top package includes rain and light sensors.
Renault Fluence is distinguished by a spacious interior and a roomy trunk (530 liters), and in the top version, the car has everything for the complete comfort of the driver and passengers. Also in the merits is a decent ground clearance (when adapting the car for Russia, it was increased by 40 mm and the suspension stiffness was increased). Among the shortcomings, one can note the lack of power of cars with a base 1.6-liter engine, as well as possible problems with liquidity, which is why the value of used Fluences decreases quite quickly.
Read completelyIn November 2012, the official debut of the compact Renault sedan Fluence reimagined. As a result of the modernization, the car noticeably changed externally, having received a redrawn “face”, acquired visible interior improvements, added new items to its functionality and did not do without technical metamorphoses. In 2015, the "Frenchman" experienced another restyling, but less significant - he slightly tweaked the exterior and expanded the list of equipment.
Contours of the body updated version Renault Fluence generally remained the same, but its front part sparkled with new colors thanks to the branded “rhombus” of large sizes, a trapezoidal grille in the bumper and LED “eyeliners” running lights above the foglights, which added originality and recognition to the look. In profile, as before, the car demonstrates dynamic and well-shaped outlines, and its stern looks decent due to LED lights and a raised bumper.
In length, Fluence is extended by 4622 mm, of which 2703 mm is occupied by the gap between the axles, its width is 1809 mm, and its height does not exceed 1479 mm. Under the “belly” of an equipped car, a clearance of 145 mm is visible.
The interior of Renault Fluence as a result of restyling has not changed much - it looks noble and soundly European and "flaunts" high quality execution. Directly in front of the driver are a three-spoke multi-steering wheel with a relief rim and a “smart” instrument cluster with a virtual speedometer and an “island” trip computer. The noble center console is ergonomically arranged: the screen of the multimedia system is “registered” on its top (in the “base” there is a simple monochrome display), and in the lower part there are a pair of separate “remotes” of the climate center and the audio system.
Salon decoration "Fluence" has a decent space for all riders. The front seats have comfortable shape and wide ranges of adjustments, but poorly developed side bolsters, and the rear sofa demonstrates a hospitable profile and some of the benefits of civilization - a central armrest and ventilation deflectors.
The volume for transporting goods in the restyled Renault Fluence is considerable - 530 liters in the "traveling" form, and this is taking into account the full-size "reserve" in the underground. The back of the rear sofa folds up and almost doubles the supply of space, but does not allow you to get a flat area.
Specifications. On updated modification"Fluence" is equipped with three gasoline atmospheric "fours" to choose from, equipped exclusively with a front-wheel drive transmission.
- The first option is a 1.6-liter unit with a 16-valve timing and multipoint injection function, developing 106 “horses” at 6000 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4250 rpm.
It is combined with a 5-speed "mechanics" and allows the car to accelerate to 183 km / h, exchanging the first "hundred" after 11.7 seconds, and "eat" no more than 6.7 liters of fuel in the combined cycle. - It is followed by the "Nissan" HR16DE engine of the same volume with a cylinder block made of "winged metal", chain drive 16-valve timing, port injection and variable valve timing, the return of which reaches 114 Horse power at 6000 rpm and 155 Nm possible traction at 4000 rpm.
Together with the X-Tronic CVT, it accelerates the sedan to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds and provides it with a top speed of 175 km/h. Average consumption fuel - 6.6 liters in combined mode. - At the top is the 2.0-liter engine, which has a 16-valve timing and multi-point power system, generating 138 "mare" at 6000 rpm and 190 Nm of torque at 3700 rpm and paired with a CVT.
The conquest of the first “hundred” of this car takes 10.1 seconds, the maximum performance is 195 km / h, and the “appetite” does not exceed 7.8 liters in mixed conditions.
The restyled Renault Fluence is laid out on a third-generation front-wheel drive “cart” from Megan, on which the power unit is transversely perched. compact sedan has independent MacPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent torsion beam at the rear, as well as electric amplifier integrated into the rack and pinion steering mechanism. The car is slowed down by disc brakes"in a circle" (ventilated on the front wheels) with ABS, EBD and other "helpers".

Notes that this car able to fit perfectly into the active life of a successful young man. Moreover, the model is equally convenient, both for trips to work and for leisure activities. Russian motorists do not adhere to such an optimistic assessment of the manufacturer, believing that the car is practical, but boring. The French say that when restyling Fluence, they tried to break the stereotype that the Russians had. Did the manufacturer get it?
There are no changes in the appearance of Fluence 2013 on the side and back - all of them fresh ideas designers left for the front. The dimensions and ground clearance of the sedan have not changed. In the design style, an analogy with . Marketers plan to lure the young category of buyers with a large diamond logo with straight chrome beams, new headlights, a modified front bumper and nice rims decorating.
special revolutionary changes in the car also did not happen. The innovations offered by the developers can literally be counted on the fingers. You can't ignore the digital dashboard, which will become available in standard equipment. The top version of the model has acquired multimedia system R-Link, which has a bright 7-inch display, as well as voice control and the ability to access the Internet. In addition, the quality of the finish has improved due to new materials, soft plastic, combination seats. A climate control system and several other useful and pleasant options appeared in the list of equipment. On the back sofa, as before, three passengers are comfortably accommodated. The trunk of Fluence 2013, with a volume of 530 liters, is considered the most spacious in this class.
IN motor line updated Fluence Russian motorists, as before, will not see diesel engines. The manufacturer offers two engines in trim levels for the Russian market: a two-liter engine used on cars of the previous generation, as well as a new, more economical, 1.6-liter gasoline unit.
On the test drive of AutoVesti, there was a car with a new 1.6 engine and a CVT, giving out 114 “horses”. For operation in the city, such power should be enough. However this version has a minus, manifested in the constant noise emitted by the engine on high revs. For the driver, this hum is very irritable.
Renault engineers explain the noise as follows: it takes about half an hour for the CVT to adapt to the driving style. However, during the test drive and two hours after the start, the noise level of the unit did not decrease. With a slight acceleration on the rise uphill, the box resets one or two gears, while the tachometer needle gets close to 4000 rpm. The noise that appears when accelerating does not contribute to the driver's pleasant driving sensations.
The dynamic mode of moving the sedan around the city showed that 10 liters of fuel are consumed per hundred kilometers. As for the suspension, the engineers left it unchanged: it is still stiff, but acceptably comfortable. The informative steering wheel becomes elastic and responsive at a decent speed.
The location of buttons, switches, adjustments is made as convenient as possible. Everything works as expected. As an exception, we can note the setting of the climate control system, the control elements of which are located both on the steering wheel and near the checkpoint. However, this does not create much inconvenience.
On Turkish roads, you can see quite a few Renault Fluences of the previous generation, often used as taxis. According to local drivers, this car is the best option in terms of price-quality ratio. Moscow also has many car fluence with checkers, so it can be assumed that the statement about price and quality is true for the whole of Eastern Europe.
