Renault displays its new pulse hatchback at the auto expo

Renault will bring a number of versions of its Pulse hatchback at the Expo. The French manufacturer is aware that the Pulse is nothing but a rebadged Nissan Micra, and the various display cars will help to give it a more youthful image.The one to watch out for will be the Duster. Making its Indian debut at the Expo, this mini-SUV is expected to be launched by July, so take a close look at it. The Duster shares its platform with the Logan (now Mahindra Verito) so expect it to be rugged. But it’s not an all-out off-roader and will be available in India in two-wheel-drive only. It will be powered by three engines – a 1.6-litre 105bhp petrol and two 1.5 diesels making 90bhp and a more substantial 107bhp respectively. The big news is that it will be very aggressively priced from Rs 7-8 lakh approximately.
