Renault’s super boss Mr. Carlos  Ghosn will unveil this premium hatchback during  Indian GP scheduled to happen this weekend.

Renault Pulse will get both the engines from it’s Japanese cousin  Nissan Micra. There will be a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine  on offer. Both the engines will be tuned to have  similar power and torque figures as of Nissan Micra. Overall dimensions of Nissan Micra and Renault Pulse are expected to be similar. Renault Pulse will have a  different styling in the front and rear. But the dashboard of Micra and Pulse will have common elements. Renault’s engineers will fit a new design steering wheel in Pulse. The suspension of Renault Pulse will be taken care by a combination of   MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear.

Renault Pulse will have all features that a premium hatchback buyer looking for. The feature list will include driver and passenger airbags and ABS, climate control, keyless entry and start, and steering mounted controls etc.
