In general, the car is not bad, very spacious, but in our country they are reluctant to buy it. Consumers prefer either cheaper, but smaller in size, or more expensive cars, but prestigious brands. Renault Fluence is in a consumer niche where there is no mass demand. But things are changing, maybe the car will get more fans over time. Although recent years have shown a shift in demand from budget sedans to budget crossovers, in general, again past the Renault Fluence.

In November 2012, the new Renault Fluence 2014 was first introduced in Istanbul. Changes in the car affected the front of the model, the interior was slightly transformed, and the engine was not without modernization. And now, about everything in order.

A solid bumper with a chic aerodynamic skirt, along the edges of which there are almond-shaped headlights, a trapezoidal lower air duct and stylish details that house fog lights and LED lights, all this updates the restyled Renault Fluence 2014, the rest of the body characteristics remain the same.

Interior Renault Fluence 2014: the interior of the car has changed for the better. The plastic trims are much softer and more pleasant to the touch, and the seat materials are made of denser texture. The dashboard is now more informative. The Renault Fluence 2014 package includes the latest R-Link multimedia system with a color touch screen, its main functions: voice control, navigation, and connection of all kinds of players and smartphones. The first row has quite comfortable seats, the ergonomics of the cabin allows the driver to adapt very quickly behind the wheel. The second row comfortably accommodates three passengers. The trunk volume is 530 liters, and a large opening will make it possible to load large luggage.

Renault Fluence 2014 will be presented in six versions: 1) Authentique; 2) expression; 3) Confort; 4) Limited Edition; 5) Sport Way; 6) Dynamic. The package of the very first option, which is also the basic one, will include: air conditioning; heated electric mirrors; two airbags; driver's seat lift; ABS AFU EBD security system.

Technical characteristics of Renault Fluence 2014: regarding engines, this model will present the following options:

Test - drive Renault Fluence 2014: in practice, this model stands out for its comfortable suspension, thanks to which the chassis passes all road obstacles, while sound and noise insulation ensures silence and comfort in the cabin. The car's handling is quite predictable. But we must not forget that it is not recommended to be especially reckless on Renault Fluence 2014, although the 138 horsepower engine itself will not allow this. In general, the car has many positive characteristics, and will be an excellent choice for lovers of comfort and stability.

New Renault Fluence 2014 price. The cost of a new one starts from 599,600 rubles, depending on the configuration.

Renault in November 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show showed the world public an electric version of the Fluence compact sedan, which received the prefix Z.E. to the name (Zero Emission - “zero emissions”). In the European market, sales of the four-door began in the fall of 2011, and continued until the end of 2013, after which they were curtailed due to low demand, although its serial production was curtailed only at the beginning of 2014.

Highlight Renault Fluence Z.E. it will not be difficult in the stream: in front, the car differs from its “traditional counterpart” in a large radiator grill resembling a rectangle and headlights shimmering in blue, and in the rear - completely different lights and an overhang extended by 13 centimeters.

The overall length of the electric "Fluence" is 4748 mm, width - 1813 mm, height - 1458 mm, and the distance between the axles - 2701 mm. In the "combat" form, the car weighs 1543 kg.

Inside the Renault Fluence Z.E. can only be identified by the dashboard, in which the battery charge indicator is “registered”. The electric car has no other features - it still has an attractive design and a high-quality level of performance and is able to accommodate five people.

Despite the rear end, the trunk of the green-powered sedan has only 300 liters, and all because of the batteries. There is no “reserve” in the niche under the raised floor, and the back of the rear seat does not fold.

The main highlight of the Renault Fluence Z.E. lies under the hood - the car is equipped with a synchronous AC motor with electromagnet excitation, issuing 95 horsepower and 226 Nm of torque, and a single-stage transmission with final drive. The engine is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 22 kW / h.

The electric sedan is capable of accelerating to the first “hundred” in 13.4 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 135 km / h, and its “range” on a single charge is 185 km. It takes 6-8 hours to fully "saturate" the batteries from a conventional household outlet, and only 20 minutes from special systems of a three-phase industrial network.

Architectural Renault Fluence Z.E. repeats the base model: it is built on a front-wheel drive platform with MacPherson struts in front and a semi-independent rear beam (however, it has its own chassis settings). The car is equipped with electric power steering and four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated on the front axle) with ABS and EBD.

The Renault Fluence electric car was mass-produced from 2011 to 2014, and was sold in Europe, Israel and some Asian countries (it was not officially supplied to Russia).
The car was available to European consumers at a price of 21,300 euros, and as a standard it was distinguished by rich equipment: six airbags, an R-Link multimedia complex, an audio system, a dual-zone “climate”, power windows for all doors, cruise control, ABS, ESP and much more.

In a sedan. Much of this car moved from there. In 2013, the car was restyled, at least according to the company's marketers.

However, differences from the previous generation can only be found by looking closely. They touched mainly the front.

In the latest model, some options that were optional migrated to the basic package.

Dimensions Renault Fluence:

• length - 4622 mm
• width - 1809mm
• height - 1479 mm

Vehicle weight 1270 kg. Undoubted convenience in this car is a key card. It is enough to have it in your pocket and the car will automatically open when you approach and close when you move away from it.

Modest car interior

Salon - top equipment

The interior of this car is made of quality materials, but everything looks rather modest. There are no special frills in it, as, for example, in. Even a 7-inch screen is installed only in the top configuration. But those who have it will enjoy working with it. The menu has been translated into Russian, all settings are clear and do not cause problems in mastering.

Due to the fact that during the trip it is inconvenient to reach for the touch screen, there is an alternative way to control it - a puck on the control panel under climate control. The seats are heated, but the button to turn on the heating can be difficult to find - for the driver it is to the left of the seat.

There is not much space in the back seat, but it is quite enough for an acceptable fit. Even if your knees reach the front seat, they will not rest against it, but gently push through, that's how they are designed.

The trunk volume is quite roomy - 530 liters, according to this indicator, it can easily compete with such competitors in the class as.

slow ride

Dashboard

Renault Fluence is designed to be a good family car. Despite the fact that in one of the configurations it can be equipped with a sports body kit, this does not make it a sports car.

You have a mechanic or an automatic with a variator, tune in to a measured ride. According to the owners, in the case of the variator, there are delays in gear shifting. There are also jerks, especially when downshifting.

Specifications and test drive

An adapted Renault Fluence is delivered to Russia, most of all, the adaptation affected the suspension, the engineers set it up in such a way that it would be as comfortable as possible for the driver and passengers, behave on the road.

Renault Fluence ground clearance is 16 cm, this ground clearance is enough for city driving.

Renault Fluence comes in 4 trim levels:

• Authentic
• expression
• Confort
• Dynamique

For each configuration, a suitable engine is installed, all three of them.

Nobody expects racing dynamics from this car, and he confirms this with his unhurried acceleration to 100 km / h in 10.1 seconds, and this is on the most powerful engine. And on a compromise, 114 strong power unit, acceleration occurs in 11.9 seconds.

The car has good handling, and the brakes adequately respond to pressing the pedal. However, don't try to go into corners too fast. In such a situation, the roll is very noticeable. And it becomes completely uncomfortable, also from the fact that the seats have almost no lateral support.

The disadvantage of Renault Fluence is fuel consumption, which, according to some reviews, is 2 times higher than stated.

Test drive Renault Fluence video

Security

The car is equipped with several security systems. However, there are not very many of them, because a calm and measured ride does not contribute to the creation of emergency situations. The car has:

• ABS - anti-lock system
• ESP - stabilization system
• Airbags
• Isofix child seat mount

Active safety systems protect you from mistakes and problems on the road. And passive - will help in the event of a collision.

Results

As a result, I would like to say that Renault Fluence, even despite its disadvantages, is not a bad car at all. He has a good market. Not everyone needs a drive, which is not in this car. But many need calmness and confidence, and Renault Fluence 2014 has plenty of this.

Specifications and fuel consumption Renault Fluence 2014

Sales market: Russia.

In 2012, at the international automobile exhibition in Istanbul, Renault introduced an updated version of the Fluence sedan. The front of the car received a new corporate identity of the brand, well remembered for the latest generation Clio hatchback: a large chrome Renault logo against a wide black strip with shiny narrow trims. Another innovation is the daytime running lights, whose style has also been emphasized in black and chrome. In addition, a new digital instrument panel is being installed on Fluence, and better materials are used for interior trim. There are modifications with an advanced R-Link system, which manages navigation, telephone, music and various applications. As for the power transmission, there is a new 1.6-liter engine and a CVT to it. The composition of the kits has also been updated.

The simplest Authentique version of the restyled Renault Fluence (with a 1.6 engine and a 5-speed "mechanics") includes halogen headlights, fabric upholstery, an on-board computer, air conditioning with a filter, central locking with remote control, front electric windows, a driver's seat with adjustable height, electric and heated exterior mirrors, heated wiper rest zone. 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 windows, front armrest, folding rear seats (1/3 to 2/3 ratio) with armrest, leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Edition adds cruise control, combination seat upholstery and interior trim in brown. The top package is called the Expression and includes: folding mirrors, rear LED lights, a hands-free chip card, a Start / Stop button instead of a key, an automatic parking brake, dual-zone climate control with air ducts for the rear seats, a rear camera kind.

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 the Fluence engines offered for the Russian market remains the 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 a design with an independent front suspension (McPherson) with rectangular lower arms and a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension. Renault Fluence is equipped with an efficient braking system with large discs front and rear. Electric power steering combines quick steering response with better feedback. The minimum turning circle of this front-wheel drive vehicle is 11.1 m.

Of the security systems, the basic equipment includes: ABS with the AFU emergency braking system plus the EBD brake force distribution system, frontal airbags (driver and passenger) with a deactivated front airbag, Isofix child seat mounts. The Confort package includes fog lights, two front side airbags (driver and passenger). The Limited Edition package has front head restraints with height and tilt adjustment, rear parking sensors, and options include curtain airbags and ESP stability control. 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 liquidity problems, which is why the cost of used Fluences decreases quite quickly.
