DCi Renault Fluence Car Audio Review




Designed to attract a clientele in need of extensive sedan quality without breaking the bank, the new Renault Fluence is fairly well equipped in terms of electronics. For a vehicle whose ticket is less than 20000 euros, Renault has made serious efforts, since the fluence has the Bluetooth standard.


Tomtom integrated option for navigation!

Halfway between the Megane and Laguna, the Fluence is offered with two engine (85hp dCi and dCi 105 hp), with two trim levels: Expression and Privilege. In both cases finishing Fluence provides an audio system as standard, but no entertainment system. Navigation is optional only version Privilege. This system Tomtom Carminat we have already featured on other models in the range. This system offers all the benefits of a TomTom portable, but built into the dashboard. No wheel to control it provides Renault with an IR remote. For the rest, we find all the usual functions of navigation. This system Tomtom is charged 490 Euros. But back to offers audio, which are standard on both versions, but with some differences.

Optional on Premium version, you can opt for Tomtom Navigator Carminat

On the Expression version, it has the classic car radio offering SAT Radio tuner RDS CD MP3 player, Bluetooth for the phone at the wheel and an auxiliary input in center console for connecting an MP3 player. Of course, this unit has a steering wheel and a remote display in the center of the dashboard, like all Renault. The sound is reproduced by a system with 6 speakers: 2 way kit up front with separate woofers and tweeters in the door panel, and a pair of coaxial in the rear.

Tomtom system is controlled with a remote IR

Privilege on the version, it has the same car, except it comes with 3D Sound System By Arkamys to offer better sound quality. A system that can be found as an option or standard on other models in the Renault range. Premium version also has a reversing radar and a parking aid. If you selected the option Tomtom navigation, the display of the car disappears from the board and is replaced by the TomTom Navigator. In this case, the screen is the latter that gives audio cues (radio, volume, ...). For a sedan whose first prize is 19,750 Euros, the audio is pretty nice, even if it lacks many modern features such as iPod control.


The radio series features a remote display in the center of the center console
