Renault Pulse prices to be hiked

Rising input costs have forced French auto major Renault India to hike the cost of
its latest hatchback 'Pulse' by two per cent, effective from March. The company
had introduced Pulse in the domestic market at the Auto Expo held in January at
an introductory price of Rs 5.77 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

According to the company, the prices have been revised owing to higher input
costs. Marc Nassif, Managing Director, Renault India, said, “The Pulse has
been received very well by our customers and we have received a large number
of enquiries. The Pulse comes loaded with features which provide an extremely
good value for money proposition. In the face of rising input costs, we have
now no option but to pass on a part of the cost to our customers although the
Pulse still remains as one of the most competitive in its segment on all features
including the price.”

Commenting on the price increase, Marc Nassif, Managing Director, Renault
India Pvt Ltd said, “The Pulse has been received very well by our customers
and we have received a large number of enquiries from potential customers.
The Pulse represents the aspirations and needs of present day customers and
comes loaded with features which provide an extremely good value for money
proposition. In the face of rising input cost we have now no option but to
pass on a part of the cost to our customers although the Pulse still remains
as one of the most competitive in its segment on all features including the
price”.

The Renault Pulse is powered by the 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine that develops
63bhp and is available only in two trims – a base RxL and top-end RxZ. It was
launched at the Auto Expo in January at an introductory price of Rs 5.77 lakh
(ex-showroom, Delhi).
