Fans of Renault cars in the region are to be treated to a bespoke model tailored specifically for their market. Boasting a V6 engine and a host of comforts and refinements, the new offering promises to be every owner's “stress-free space.” The new sedan will be available at all Renault dealers from Sept. 1, 2008 and though the model's name is a secret for now, some details of its specification have been released; a list of luxuries aimed at promoting ‘stress-free space' and relaxation for driver and passengers. Under the hood of this new Renault sedan is the acclaimed Nissan VQ engine - a 2.3 liter V6 that delivers a smooth 170HP at 6,000 rpm. The configuration is a development of the alliance between Renault and Nissan and offers a compact, yet powerful, cylinder arrangement. Renault will unveil the model before Ramadan this year and Mohamed Bennani, managing director of the company's GCC operations, added: “Driving can be stressful at the best of times without having to mention the unique travel problems and extreme summer heat particular to this region,” he said. “This soon to be launched new sedan has been designed specifically to offer a relaxing and stress-free driving experience adapted to suit the needs of our customers,” he said. Accessing the cabin of the soon to be launched sedan is made simple through Renault's use of the latest in Smart Card technology. Employing a system which does away with the irritation of fumbling for keys, the driver simply approaches the car to unlock the doors. Once inside the refinement continues, with the emphasis placed firmly on easy motoring. Road and engine noise are minimized through extremely effective acoustic dampening that insulates the traveler from wearying decibel discomfort. Air conditioning has been made a priority, with ventilation ducts positioned to promote optimum temperature maintenance both at the font and rear cabins. __
