Gulf Weekly A sedan with style

YK Almoayyed & Sons and Renault GCC recently unveiled the fuel efficient and stylish sedan - Safrane.

Safrane, the French brand's latest offering, is developed speciallywith the Middle East's weather conditions in mind by the Renault Nissan Alliance. Renault car lovers will be mesmerised by its sleek look, features and its V6 2.3-litre engine.

Managing director of Renault GCC, Mohammed Bennani said: "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.

"This new sedan has been designed specifically to offer a relaxing and stress-free driving experience adapted to suit the needs of our customers.

"Even though the mid-size segment is a highly competitive one, with over 20 different models, we are confident that with the support and expertise of our local partners, YK Almoayyed & Sons, and the quality of our product, Renault will account for a prominent share in the market."

With a three year, 100,000-km bumper-to-bumper warranty, Renault Safrane is available in three trim levels (PE: 2.0litre; SE & LE with a V6 2.3 litre).

Smart Card technology allows access into a luxurious cabin and a fingertip-controlled audio entertainment system (with MP3 option) at the four-spoke sporty steering wheel offers a concert hall experience through seven-way speakers.

Independent climate control settings for driver and passenger sides, makes Safrane's air conditioning one of the best in the regional market.

Other practical features include rain-sensing wipers which automatically activate in the advent of a rare regional downpour and headlamps which turn on automatically when dark conditions are encountered. Rear parking sensors are also provided.

Speaking at the launch, YK Almoayyed & Sons general manager Mr Bheemshankar said: "We hope to launch two more models by the end of this year. As with the Safrane, each vehicle we bring into the market will be locally tested and adapted to suit customer needs."
