Renault Scala [2012-2017] User Reviews

Exterior The exterior is great and looks similar to High End cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Renault should have provided the high end features like rear wiper, Bigger Glove space, Body side moulding, Rear Camera. The seat height adjustment is not too useful as the height increase is limited. Other common features which may not have added to cost like coat hanger, and glove space on driver side could have made car great. The side door pocket space is not to useful as the space is small.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance & fuel economy seems to be ok. Gear box is ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is OK.

Final Words Good car. Renault should advertize the car as market is not aware of the name Scala. With no advertizement , I wonder if Renault is serious on the car.

Areas of improvement NA.

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.

Exterior Looks great. Lenght of the car gives a very classy look. Looks best in Black or blue color.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are ok. Chrome door handles gives a luxury feel. If they could add 2 more inches to the width of the car, it would confortably fit in 3 full size grown adults. Leg space is something to die for. Very very confortable on long drives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine packs a punch. Used to drive a Ford IKON(josh Machine) earlier. Diesel engine is a little noisy though quite refined. Cabin noise is also low. economy is phew 20-21kmpl on highway with 5 adults and AC, and speeds of around 110-120. City driving returns around 19 to 19.7kmpl(asper car reading) with speeds under 85km.

Ride Quality & Handling I am quite satisfied and impressed.

Final Words This is a car to keep for long time. My experience has been great with Renault. Keep open mind and think beyond reselling value :) and it will suprise you.

Areas of improvement Couple of inches wider :)

Exterior

Okeydokey exterior. Better than Sunny but that’s not a tough yardstick. Looks sleek enough.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Very good space, especially at the back. Music system is dated, at least a USB port should have been given. Color combination could have been better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Excellent economy. I get between 24kmph and 26kmph on highway. Got anywhere between 12-18 in the city depending upon congestion. Even got 28.4 on a 18 km highway stretch once. Need to drive beween 70-90 kmph for best mileage. Performance is good enough. Was little worried about brakes before buying, but they are quite reliable.

Ride Quality & Handling

Acceotable ride quality. Shock abs are bit too hard and do with improvement. 

Final Words

Excellemt value for money. Great for economical driving if you dont want to drive a rocket. Need to slow down on speed-breakers and in large pot holes (small pot-holes are more easy to handle)

Areas of improvement  

 Music system, shock abs

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. 

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.
