The Renault brand has lifted the covers off the facelifted version of the Fluence compact sedan in Mexico, a move that suggests the French carmaker may introduce the European model as early as this week’s Paris Motor Show.

The Fluence’s Korean twin, the Asian market Samsung SM3 sedan, which was presented in August, previewed the subtle cosmetic tweaks applied to the car.

Visible changes include the re-sculptured front bumper and new grille assembly along with the revamped headlamp fixtures, new alloy wheel designs and some light updates in the interior such as the new instrument panel with digital displays.

If Renault does indeed show the car in Paris, we’ll have the full details on Thursday. For the time being, head over the break to watch the promo video.
