Renault Zoe


Lawyer David Koubbi sued Renault on behalf of all of the women in France named Renault Zoe, and in particular two girls (aged two and eight) named Zoe Renault.

Mr Koubbi contended that girls and women named "Renault Zoe" (the 11th most popular given name in France, possessed by an estimated 35,000 French citizens) could face a lifetime of taunts and teasing if Renault was allowed to use the name.

The judge threw out the case, ruling that people named renault Zoe would only have a case if they had proof the car’s name would lead to “certain, direct and current harm”.

It's non for two girls named Zoe Renault; the automaker whose name they share has the right to name its forthcoming electric vehicle the Renault Zoe. A French court dismissed a lawsuit by the parents of the two girls, supported by the French pressure group ADNP — the Association for the Defense of Our First Names — which had claimed that the choice of that model name would be harmful to the 35,000 French women and girls who are named Zoe.

A bizarre legal battle over the name Zoe has been won by Renault. The families of several girls called Zoe Renault took the firm to court in France over its plan to call its new electric car the Zoe. Renault already uses girl’s names for its Clio and Mégane models.

2011 Renault Fluence announced launch


Renault Australia has this week announced the local launch of the 2011 Renault Fluence, starting at $22,990 and set to go on sale in Australia from November.

The 2.0 litre engine is paired with either a six-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission.

In Australia, Renault will offer the Renault Fluence sedan alongside the Megane hatch, with both models starting at the same price. Along with the Koleos SUV, the Fluence and Hatch will stand as Renault's volume-selling consumer offerings.

“Renault is announcing significant investment in Renault Australia that will deliver the Renault brand long term status as a key player in the Australian automotive market. Like the upcoming Renault Megane, the Fluence's features list includes the Renault smart key card (for keyless unlocking and engine starting), integrated satellite navigation (standard on Privilege), Bluetooth connectivity, multimedia connectivity and dual zone climate control air conditioning - an uncommon advantage in the small car segment.
Key new models from France, South Korea and Turkey unveiled at the Sydney motor show are all on the menu for introduction here in early 2011 by Motorcorp Distributors.

The show stand newbies presently on display across the Tasman cover virtually the full gambit of Renault's passenger range.

The Megane family spans a new Golf-fighting hatch, a glass-topped Coupe-Cabriolet and a larger sedan spin-off, the 2011 Renault Fluence, plus two versions of a new performance model, 250 coupe.

Though Motorcorp recently appointed a new brand manager for Renault, the brand has definitely lost pace in New Zealand.

It seemed the distributor has been upset about Renault's apparent indifference toward the difficulties it has faced placing the right cars in the market at the right price.

The tension seemed to have eased on Friday when, at the invitation of Motorcorp boss Russell Reynolds, I met with Sylvain Martin-Villa, Renault's Melbourne-based operations manager for this region. Mr Reynolds says he is confident that a Renault relaunch can be affected, with sharper-priced and more relevant cars.
We have always wanted to keep Renault. Asserts Mr Martin-Villa: "For now, you are a different country."

Renault could recover lost ground, he believed. Renault's strength continues to be that it offered a very broad range of cars, from the mainstream (Koleos, Fluence and Megane) in petrol and diesel through to the extrovert performance RS-badged Clio and Megane coupe cars. "Overall, Renault has got the product range that suits the direction to market is going. Motorcorp is still evaluating the Latitude, which in Europe Latitude replaces the slightly smaller outgoing Laguna.

The car boasts a host of features including sunroof, leather upholstery, electric seats with memory and massage functions, a satnav system with rear view camera, keyless entry, air purifier with freshener, multimedia connection box, Bose sound system, automatic parking brake, rear sunblind and auto headlamps and wipers.

The exciting new sports models are the Megane Renault Sport 250 Cup and Cup Trophee, ultimate derivatives of the RS225.

Renault also made a show of its full-blown racing heritage at Sydney, showing a stunning race-ready V6-powered version of the car.

The Renault Wind


The new Renault Wind rekindles a tradition of building fun, affordable sports cars from the humble bones of their hatchback siblings.
Expensive parts such as the engine and crash structures dictate that the "Renault Wind" has the same high bonnet line and windscreen base as the upright city car. To give the impression of sitting in a cocooning sports car, Renault’s designers have raised the side window line as high as possible, creating a very deep body side.
This system avoids the problems usually associated with folding hardtops, namely weight, cost and lack of boot space. With the Renault Wind, the large boot remains unaffected by the position of the roof, while the simple system weighs just 21.8kg.
Thankfully very little of the Twingo’s cheap-feeling interior has found its way inside the Renault Wind. The driving position is the lowest of any current Renault model but steel feels more hatchback upright than sportscar bum-skimming.
So does the Renault Wind drive like a Twingo? It shares both its 1.2-litre TCe turbocharged engine and the larger, un-turbo’d 1.6-litre from the Twingo RS 133. The lack of roof has been countered by extensive body strengthening, meaning that Renault Wind feels impressively stiff even over broken surfaces, while the handling has the same precise, playful and well-resolved quality as cars like the Clio 200 and Twingo 133.
It is better-suited to everyday driving with good pulling power from low revs but it sounds whiney and lifeless at higher revs.
More seriously, the Renault Wind braking performance is unacceptable. Good value fun The Renault Wind has no real rivals currently. Overall the Renault Wind is a surprisingly characterful, fun and practical two-seater sports car. Renault expect most Renault Wind buyers to be urban-dwelling females and the styling, practicality and clever roof are spot-on for the target audience. However, the engaging driving experience and the lure of the RenaultSport association may open the demographic to include more serious driving enthusiasts.
Car manufacturers are always plugging gaps in their ranges with models that you never thought you needed, and generally don't, but Renault might just have found a little niche that is worth exploiting with the Renault Wind - the small budget convertible that sits between the Twingo city car and supermini Clio in size.
Strictly speaking there are a few of these on the market at the moment, with Smart, Mini, Peugeot and Fiat all making tiny droptops. The Renault Wind is refreshingly different and, dare we say it, trendy compared to the rest of the Renault range, and is aimed squarely at younger drivers. Part of the cost cutting that permits this price tag is a simple range that consists of just two engines and three trim levels, with the top spec model still coming in well under £20,000. The pick of the engines is the 1.2-litre 99bhp turbocharged version. Beyond the low price, the roof will be what appeals to most of the Wind's buyers.
