Renault Fluence: New Compact Sedan for Russia, Turkey and Romania, and perhaps the US as a Saturn



Renault Fluence 0 Renault Fluence: New Compact Sedan for Russia, Turkey and Romania, and perhaps the US as a Saturn

Remember Renault’s 2004 Fluence concept car that inspired the styling of the Laguna Coupe? Well, the only common denominator between the sexy prototype (see pics below) and this compact-sized sedan is their name… Virtually a rebadged version of the Korean market Samsung SM3 that was revealed earlier this year, the Fluence is the sedan variant of the Megane and it will be initially sold only in Russia, Romania and Turkey.

There’s also a chance that we may see Renault’s VW Jetta-sized sedan heading towards the States as a Saturn if the American brand’s new owner, Penske Automotive Group, closes a proposed deal with the French automaker.
