2018 Renault Kwid launched

Price of the 2018 Renault Kwid remains unchanged. It is priced between ₹2.66 lakh and 4.59 lakh (ex-showroon, Delhi).

French carmaker Renault has released a minor update for its best-seller, the Kwid. The updates are available in both manual and automated transmission options of the hatchback.

Outside, the updated Kwid gets a subtly revised front grille, which can easily go unnoticed. However, higher variants get a chrome treatment on the grille to jazz things up a bit. Then, Emergency Locking Retractor equipped rear seat belts now come as standard. The top-spec Kwid RXT (O) gets a reverse camera, a rear 12V power socket, chrome trim on the centre console and a rear centre armrest.

With the 2018 update, the mid-spec Kwid RXL gets front power windows and central locking as standard. The Kwid AMT now gains Traffic Assist feature as standard. Renault is now also offering a four year/1,00,000km warranty on the Kwid.

Kwid customers can choose from six colour options – Fiery Red, Planet Grey, Moonlight Silver, Ice Cool White, Outback Bronze and Electric Blue (Kwid Climber). Bookings for the 2018 Kwid have commenced across all Renault dealerships in India. 

Speaking on the launch, Sumit Sawhney, CEO and Managing Director, Renault India, said, 'With more than 2.5 lakh customers, Renault Kwid has successfully carved a unique position for itself in the compact car segment. We have kept Kwid contemporary with regular product enhancements that reflect the rapidly changing and evolving customer trends. Taking this forward, the Kwid 2018 Feature Loaded Range combines design and technical advancements with compelling pricing, which makes it an even more attractive proposition. We look forward to further strengthening Kwid’s popularity and welcoming more customers into the Renault family as we endeavour to consolidate our presence in India.'
