Known initially as the Megane Sedan and then turned into the Fluence by the Renault Samsung SM3, the French compact saloon is close to getting a new generation.
The upcoming model is expected to be more similar than ever to the new Renault Megane, and this means a fresh look for its exterior, an updated cabin, a new architecture and engine lineup.
Photoshop manipulator Theophilus Chin believes that the front fascia will be influenced by the one of the new Megane, except for some tweaks made to the headlights and to the bumper. The side profile remains the same and so does the C-pillar.
However, when it comes to the rear end, we can wave goodbye to the hatch and welcome its larger brother, the Talisman, because we cannot talk about “influences” anymore and we have to use words like “identical”, starting with the taillights and ending with the bumper and even the dual exhaust pipes.
The Fluence will go up against similar models in the C-segment like the Mazda3 Sedan.
