Renault Scala [2012-2017] User Reviews

Exterior

 Most of the them get confused in side angle between toyota camry and Scala. Wonderful design by renault.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space i call it mini foot ball ground. Comfort is good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine Pick up is good. So far i have driven 2000 kms and I have got excellent mileage. Believe me or not I could achieve 27 kmpl with full A/C on and all five people packed + boot was almost fully packed on NH4 highway from bangalore <--> chitradurga (452 kms driven by just filling diesel for 1000 rs (16.7 liters). I just drove the car with speed maintaing between 90-105 kmp hr.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good absorbs most of the speed breakers , bumbs etc. but I feel steering wheel responding quickly to few road bumbs or rubber road humps which should be handled properly so that driver will not get disturbed.

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  

- Music system of the car should be upgraded as per the latest cars (atleast GPS, bluetooth , USB support).

- Cup holders on the rear doors IS A MUST apart from the arm rest renault offers.

 

very Good Fuel economy , Pick up , Ride qualityMusic system should be updagraded

Exterior Its really good looking; but some people have commented its the copy of sunny but its better than it its eye catching ;its  as simple as like this. You all gals are same but we choose the gal who is beautiful I dont mind spending extra 60 k than sunny bcoz its far better than it there is no compromissing we r ready to pay 11lakh I hope 60k would not be more for the looks we spend. Features are good space and comfort is awsome 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is good not bad as expected fuel economy is really good in the city I have not gone for highway i will be going very shortly I will let u know the reviews when I come back as of now i am really happy most the people have told me that scala is better than sunny in looks so now i have felt that spended extra 60k did not waste thats were i was stasisfied with ood in city.

Exterior Good, I love it from side angle.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is huge. My first reason to buy this car. Under Thy support isn't very good. Tons of boot space.

Engine Performance is good, no major surprises as of now after 1 year. Fuel economy is good. Getting 19 km with AC on City Road. Got 24 km on highway. Pick up is good. Head room for back seat is Ok. If you have 6 feet + passesngers, then they gonna compliant. Audio system is ok types. 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is good but not very stable at high speed. Car Flys on bumps. Service cost is reasonable. I paid approx. 6000 each for 2 service in first year.

Final Words Good car to buy for city drive. Not very sporty and good to drive on high speed (> 100 km/hr) on high ways.

Areas of improvement USB Support, Make it more heavy for better grip on roads.

Space, Fuel EconomyLess Under Thy support, No USB Support

Exterior Beautiful chrome finished handles and front grill. Sensational colour make it different

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite comfortable, Music system is not as per its price, Hence I have purchased CASKA music system to maintain its class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is little noisy, pickup is also low compare to other sedans. Gear is smoth.

Ride Quality & Handling Provide lots of pleasure during driving. ABS is good performer.

Final Words Provides a feeling of own a car with little difference.

Areas of improvement Needs improvement in terms of pickup. Sometimes gets sudden speed during turing.  The company (Renault) should monitor its dealer's behaviour to the customers. The Dealer of Bhilai (Mahdev Motors) has no monitoring to its sales representatives. The dealer does not provide theaccessories as per commitement. Due to this I had to face a very bitter experience during delivery of car.

Stylish and sporty look.Low pickup

Exterior Excellent styling on front, Rear is just OK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Pros: Really good features compared to Base model (RxE). Excellent space, 3 can sit very very comfortably in rear seat. Hand rest is good. Driving seat is comfortable.

Cons: Music System- After test drive i was very dissupointed with Music system. No USB & bluetooth, it is offered in most of same & low end competiors cars. Controls on Steering looks very ugly. Reanult tried to match shape with AC controls but I feel it is Ugly. Definetly not of Renault range. Dash board- Passinger side dash board has huge curvy area which is of no use. Display- Digital display screen should have been bigger. Rear seats- Does fan vents make any difference?. Front side suction area may suck small papers or any small items.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great Engine for sure. Very good fuel economy for 85PS. Gear shift is not very comfortable, But Gear shift buffer will cover it. You will have enough time to shift gears in traffic due to this.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension is superb. Steering is little hard. Overall very good. 

Final Words Excellent choice if you are not very perticular about Dashboard & control buttons.

Areas of improvement Definetly Dashboard and Music system.

Exterior:  Sporty Look. Luxury Look, Primum Look, Fresh Look, look of "HUGE CAR"

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort). We tried sitting on back seat when we took test ride of all the sedans and large hatch backs as well as SUVs. We found maximum space and comfort in scala when compared to 1.Verna 2.Vento 3.Fiesta 4.Ertiga 5.Amaze 6.Dzire 7.Manza

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox. Pick up is ZABAR ZAST in all gears. If you try to over take a Sedan like Dzire or SUV like E  on highway in 5 th Gear, it takes the challange swiftly. Inside City pick up is better than most sedans (gear 2/3).

 

Ride Quality & Handling: I was fanatic about DUSTER for a year. Took test drive three times, but Scala scored better in ride quality. Every thing is smooth paddles, stearing, doors, wipers etc. Every one sitting inside are Comfortable. Rear Seats has awsome leg space with central arm rest, where u can immidiately streach your self on occupying the seat.

 

Final Words

If you want to buy DEISEL SEDAN.. Choice is SCALA ( It GIVES YOU ALL FOUR : ECONOMY STYLE PERFORMANCE COMFORT )

 Rajkot Gujart DEALERS  and Service Personal are GOOD.

Areas of improvement They must add more features like 6th gear, Navigation, USB, Blutooth, Cruise control.

Exterior

 This car is bigger than Corol. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 At the first interiors looks ook, but its not that bad guys.. and yes I know could have been better, but its alright. This car is a carrrrrrr.. believe me guys its huge.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very nice pickup- totally a beast, The car is new so can't say much on fuel. Mine is petrol variant, so the pick up is nice but I am wondering will it ever reach 16.95kmpl as company claims.

Ride Quality & Handling

 As I said mine is Petrol top model so the pickup has to be something.. and so it is. Ride is smooth and comfy and so does the handling, just like butter on the toasted bread. 

Final Words

 On the count of 10, I must say it can get easily 8. ( -ve for fuel and interiors).

Areas of improvement  

 Need to have a USB port in the system. Improve fuel milage for petrol car.

 

Comfortable, spacious, amazing suspension..Interiors (only in starting), much resemblance with sunny

Buying experience: I have the royal orchid colour in Renault Scala. The colour looks fabulous and different from what we normally see. Excellent service provided to us by the executives at Renault Showroom
Riding experience: Comfortable to ride but the gear box is a bit stiff

Exterior

 I'd rate it as the best in class in looks & style - that's why I bought it in the first place!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 A bluetooth system would do well. But Scotsche solves that. Huge leg rooms for all passengers. Very comfortable below 20 kmph & above 60 kmph on pits & speedbreakers. Overall, really smooth and very low cabin noise

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Around 2000 rpm the car really gets smoothness & power together. It becomes a pleasure to drive. Fuel economy has been like 16-17 ish. Gearbox is fine.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is amazing. So is handling. The latest electronic features, are not even there in Audi Q5. I drove it at 170 kmph on Agra expressway in the night and it was a smooth drive, overtook every car I approached.

Final Words

 I bought this car on 10 May 2013, and am truly happy that I did. I just want to drive it every day! Driven ~15,000 km till now.

Areas of improvement  

 Plastic quality and quality of material in bumper, given that there're too many cars hitting you from behind, due to reckless attitude of drivers in India. 

But the car is a must buy in its range. Much more leg room and passenger-cum-driver comfort as compared to a Vento, City or Rapid, or even Duster.
