Renalut Pulse coming on January

Ever since Renault Pulse was unveiled in October, the hatchback is one of the most sought after cars and hotly awaited in the market. However, January 6th is the date the auto major has come up with to launch the Renault Pusle hatchback which is basically the rebadged Nissan Micra. If you begin to figure out the major differences between the two hatchbacks it boils down to the all-diesel engine in the Renault Pulse against the Nissan Micra’s presence with both petrol and diesel engines. Nevertheless, it’s going to be the Nissan’s K9K engine that will power the small car with a decent power and torque numbers of 69 Bhp and 160 Nm.

The strong lines along the exteriors endow the car with much more character the Nissan Micra is devoid of, which carries more of softer look in comparison. The interiors again look more like Nissan Micra’s with the same dashboard and central console layout, though it is rumoured that Renault might come up with a sport kit for the Renault Pulse as a pacifier to calm down any protests in that direction. Anyhow, it will be interesting to see how the auto giant strategizes on the Renault Pulse price. Undeniably, Renault must have benefited at least to some extent with this brand engineering where sufficient amount of component sharing might have taken place. But, will Renault use this to keep the costs down to avoid the fate of Nissan Micra, is the question that only Renault could answer.
