"Given these successes, I am very optimistic about the potential of this market and the future of Renault in KSA. In revealing the all-new 2013 Renault Fluence today we are introducing the latest version of one of our most successful cars in the KSA market. I am confident that our customers in the Kingdom will be enthusiastic about this model as we are."

Speaking on the occasion, Sheikh Ahmed Bahwan commented: "It is a privilege to accept this honour from Renault today; I would like to express my gratitude for this recognition. Our vision to provide the customers in KSA quality vehicles backed up by excellent after sales service has been the driving force of Renault's success in Saudi Arabia. I am deeply humbled by this response from our customers."

The all-new 2013 Renault Fluence

Designed to stand out as the most attractive car in its class, the 2013 Renault Fluence offers a long list of features that set it apart from its rivals. These include a robust, sporty exterior, comfortable cabin, and an array of useful technological aids.

The 2013 Renault Fluence is an attractive, well-proportioned three-volume saloon which measures 4,620mm in length, 1,479mm in height and 1,809mm in width, with a wheelbase of 2,700mm.

Streamlined headlights herald the start of an elegant waist line which sweeps harmoniously along Fluence's sides to the boot. The surround and chromed grille of the upper air intake embellish the car's front-end looks with a sporty stance, while its status-enhancing appeal is heightened by sculptured wheel arches and a long bonnet. At the rear, the horizontal, two-part lights allow a generous boot aperture and emphasize the car's thoroughly modern styling even further.
