Renault India launches X-tronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) variant of the Scala

Renault India Pvt. Ltd. announced the introduction of the X-tronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) variant of the Scala. With this move, Renault India becomes the first manufacturer to offer the next-generation transmission to the Indian premium sedan
segment.

With all new X-tronic transmission system, the Scala CVT promises to offer higher fuel efficiency and performance as well as a lower cost of ownership. Scala CVT combines pioneering composition with flexibility to provide a benchmark-setting alternate option to existing offerings in the segment with a class-leading fuel efficiency of 17.97 kmpl (ARAI figure), which is comparable to premium sedans with manual transmission.

"With more and more cars on the road as well as frequent stop-and-go traffic, India has been seeing an increase in demand for automatic sedans in recent years. However, despite the growing interest for these cars, petrol automatic vehicles are still limited to a 6 per cent share in the premium sedan segment because they deliver lower mileage and higher cost of ownership," said Marc Nassif - MD, Renault India Pvt. Ltd.

"The Scala X-tronic CVT aims to bridge this gap by offering class-leading fuel efficiency, reliability and performance. With the next-generation X-tronic transmission, customers will be able to experience a new technological benchmark in automatic transmission, which offers a smoother ride, convenience and savings, making the Scala CVT an attractive choice for those opting for an automatic premium sedan."

The Scala CVT will be available in the RXL and RXZ petrol variants.
