These are the first official images of the new Renault Scala, a compact-sized saloon aimed at the Indian market.
In exactly the same way that the Renault Pulse supermini is a re-badged version of the Nissan Micra, the Scala is a Renault-faced iteration of the Nissan Sunny, which is sold in North America as the Nissan Versa sedan.
The cosmetic makeover is limited to the Scala's new fascia that is borrowed from the Pulse, with which it shares its underpinnings, but enhanced with bespoke headlamp graphics and a chrome trimmed grille for a more upscale look, plus the new wheel designs and the different tail lamp fixtures that are connected with a chrome strip.
The new Scala is slated to go on sale in India next month with a choice of two locally built engines, a 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol delivering 98hp (99PS) and a diesel unit with the same displacement and an output of 85hp (86PS). Both powerplants are coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox.
More details and photos of the Renault Scala are expected to be released within the next couple of weeks.

It's amazing how it looks a lot better than the Versa...
The Versa is one of the ugliest cars I have laid eyes on in modern times. I have not been able to understand how the designers could put together was looks like the front end of one car to the rear or a totally different one. However, the front end on the Scala looks amazing, so amazing, I may just forgive the ugly rear end!
Yes, Look better than original.
the front is reminiscent of the current Hyundai's face ....
Definitely, this car doesn't follow new Renault's design (typically the Hyundai-like front fascia). It is still good looking though, and definitely better than the Versa.
Some how this looks just a lot better then the us versa . My hat off to hyundai, Opps Nissan, opps Renaul. Look and Learn Nissan.
