3,20,000 km with my Renault Scala: 7 honest observations & upkeep costs

The car has amazing leg room for the segment and is called a mini S- Class.

Thanks to Rahul Gopal for sending this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP share page!

I would like to share the ownership experience of my dad's favourite car.

Details:

  • Year - 2013
  • Model - Renault Scala
  • Variant - RxL
  • Odometer reading - 3,20,000 km

We have owned multiple cars over the last 20 years, but this one is something special for us. I will share our experience category-wise.

  • Comfort - Amazing leg room for the segment and called a mini S- Class; very comfortable for long drives, but seat cushioning is average.
  • Fuel efficiency - Guaranteed 20+ km/l; not below that from our experience.
  • Suspension - Overall, good in conditionsOver
  • Driving dynamics - Has body roll; decent amount of brake bite.
  • Huge boot
  • Decent A/C cooling
  • Going beyond 120 km/h is a little risky due to the lengthy body structure

Coming the to maintenance part:

  • No fuel injectors have been replaced so far
  • No ABS sensors replaced
  • Clutch plate changed twice
  • Suspension changed twice
  • Alternator changed once
  • A/C reworked
  • Frequent oil changes and changes of other filters

We are happy with this product. Many thanks, Renault India for this amazing car.
