The Renault Scala was launched in India in September 2012 in the diesel as well as petrol variant with price ranging from 6 Lakh to 10 Lakh. Ever since the launch the car has not been able to catch up with the other key players of the segment namely the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, its sibling the Nissan Sunny, Fiat Linea and Skoda Rapid. The company tried every possible tactic for the better sales results of the product. The new diesel powered RxE version was launched for Rs. 8.29 Lakh and was followed by the June 2014 launch of Scala Travelogue RXL petrol. The company hopes that the facelift will attract more customers towards the car, we will have to wait and watch.
