Barely four months after the diesel fuelled Pulse hatchback was launched, Renault India has launched the petrol variant. The Pulse petrol is being offered in three trim levels and six colours â" RxE (Rs 4.25 lakh), RxL (Rs 4.99 lakh) and RxZ (Rs 5.55 lakh), ex-showroom Delhi. It is powered by an inline 1198cc, 3-cylinder engine which makes 76PS of power and 104Nm of torque, same as the Nissan Micra. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Renault claims that the Pulse will deliver a fuel efficiency of 18.03kmpl.
All Pulse petrol trims get 14 inch wheels as standard and the base RxE trim gets a driver airbag, electronic power steering, central locking, air conditioning, follow-me headlamps while only the top-end RxZ has dual airbags and ABS with EBD apart from automatic climate control, smart access key, engine start/stop button and rear defogger with timer.
Speaking on the occasion, Marc Nassif, managing director, Renault India Pvt.

We are highly pleased with the product's performance and it has been well accepted by the Indian customers.
