Renault Kwid, Triber and Kiger Updated in India to Meet BS6 Phase II Norms

Renault India has introduced the Kiger, the Triber, and the Kwid models that comply with the upcoming BS VI Step 2 emission norms. The recently introduced BS6 Phase II-compliant Renault cars have new safety features including Hill Start Assist (HSA), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Traction Control System (TCS). Notably, the Global NCAP has given the Kiger and the Triber a 4-star safety rating for adult occupant protection. According to the company, the 2023 range will make customers experience international safety standards. An RXE version of the Kwid hatchback has also been introduced at Rs 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. Mechanically, the new variant will be driven by a 1.0-litre petrol engine. It will come paired with a manual transmission. Features-wise, it will have steering-mounted audio & phone controls and turn indicators on ORVM.

Along with other crucial emission devices like the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, the 2023 Renault Kwid, Kiger, and Triber now have self-diagnostic equipment that will continuously analyze the vehicle's emission levels while it is being driven. According to Venkatram Mamillapalle, Country CEO & Managing Director, Renault India Operations, “Renault India remains committed to the Government of India’s vision for a clean and green environment. The launch of new BSVI Step 2 compliant petrol engines across the range will ensure a substantial reduction in emissions, thus contributing to a safer and cleaner environment.”
