The car comes with various features including a 3D sound system with eight speakers, automatic headlamps and rain sensing wipers.
The new Fluence will be powered by 1.5 litre diesel engine, which will give a mileage of 20.4 kilometre per litre.
No one ever expected that it would so soon re-enter the Indian car market.
A year after French auto major Renault terminated its joint venture with homegrown automobile manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), the company is back to prove its mettle in the world's second fastest growing automobile market with its premium mid-size sedan Fluence.
Renault is back in India on its own, and the Fluence sedan is its first offering.
The model which is to be launched in India is actually a facelifted version.
This is the first time the company chose to reveal a concept car outside Europe and this is eloquent sign of it commitment to India.
The company had sold a total of 885 vehicles during January 2012.
Last month, the company sold 5,362 units of its highly popular SUV Duster, 545 units of mid-size sedan Scala, 358 units of hatchback Pulse, 39 units of premium luxury sedan Fluence and 10 units of premium SUV Koleos.
The French carmaker wants to erase the Logan memory by opting for a premium play before going down the value chain.
Powered by a new 1.5L diesel engine, Renault Pulse delivers an impressive mileage of 23 kmpl.
Renault is planning to assemble Fluence in completely knocked down format.
The Koleos is powered by a 2 litre diesel engine and is available in four wheeled drive option with six speed automatic transmission.
French carmaker Renault is developing an even smaller sport utility vehicle Captur after the successful launch of the Duster in 2012.
French auto major Renault has said it is looking at launching zero-emission electric vehicles in India by the middle of this decade.
Renault is also mulling a new small car, their sixth model in the country, to be introduced by 2013 or 2014.
French auto major Renault on Monday said it is looking at launching zero-emission electric vehicles in India by the middle of this decade. The company, which unveiled its city two-seater 'Twizy' in the country, also plans to produce up to 500,000 units of electric vehicles (EV) globally by 2014.

Hyundai Elantra is likely to give it tough to rivals like Renault Fluence and Toyota Corolla.
High-end mid-sized sedans, comfy SUVs and entry-level luxury models steal their show.
Right now, the 'Lower D' or LD segment -- which the industry defines as a sedan that costs between Rs 1.5 million and Rs 2 million, is longer than 4.5 metres, and powered by an engine of 1.8 litre or larger -- has barely three cars, all of which have been around for over a decade in India. Nevertheless, at least one foreign auto player is looking to bet big on the segment.
