Renault Scala CVT Expert Review

Renault fulfilled its promise of introducing five new products in the Indian market industry by the end of 2012. The last new product was the Scala, which is the re-badged version of the Sunny. Ofcourse, Renault has made a lot of things to the exterior styling and now, Renault has gone a step forward as it introduces the CVT version on the Scala, before its Japanese partner. We take a spin in the new CVT version of the Scala.
