The new-generation Renault Kwid has been launched in the Indian market. The new Kwid has a starting price of Rs 4.53 lakh (ex-showroom). The Sub compact SUV was last updated last year during it’s 10th anniversary edition.

The new Renault Kwid stands out with its compact, eye-catching and SUV-inspired design. Though the design of the sub compact SUV has remained unchanged, it has received a new front grille with the new logo, body protection claddings, front & rear skid plates, and barring wheels.

It features a high ground clearance of 184 mm, and rides on 14-inch tyres with stylish wheel covers. At the rear, it has not received any noticeable changes, except for a slightly changed tail light housing.

Inside, the new Kwid remains the same as it’s earlier iteration. The addition being the inclusion of six airbags, which the hatch previously lacked. Meanwhile, it continues to carry the same infotainment, dashboard design, and even the materials used, remain similar. The features available are an eight-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electrically adjustable ORVMs, digital instrument cluster, remote keyless entry, roof rails, LED tail lights, 279-litre boot, rear-view camera, and rear power windows.

Mechanically, the new Renault Kwid remains the same as before with no new changes. It continues to be offered with the same 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated motor that develops  67bhp/91Nm. This comes paired with MT/AMT systems.
