The Renault Fluence is a 2+2 concept coupé designed by Renault chief designer Patrick le Quément, with a length similar to that of the Renault Laguna. It was presented on June 4, 2004 at the Louis Vuitton Car Elegance Classic in England, and at the Mondial de l'Automobile 2004.
The Fluence uses Valeo LED headlights that are angled according to the steering wheel position. An ingenious aspect of the Fluence's exterior design is its V-shaped rear that gives access to the trunk in an unconventional way; an articulated piston mounted in the centre of the trunklid slides the back up into the roof. The inside of the trunk is upholstered with "Margaux Red" cloth and has a volume of 396 dm³.
In the interior, every seat is fixed to a single rail; the arm-rests on the doors are also fixed to a rail, and are enclosed to the adjustment of the seats. The dashboard is similar to the one of the Renault Talisman. It has a joystick so the driver can access different functions of the vehicle and view them on a retractable LCD screen.
Several brands, including Michelin and Recaro, were involved with the development of the Fluence. For example, Michelin contributed tires with PAX technology (similar to Runflat), Montupet manufacturated the 22 in aerodynamic alloy wheels, and Recaro developed the seats.
