Highlights

    Earlier we had reported that Renault India will be increasing the price of its small car Kwid in India in January 2016. Confirming the report, the French carmaker recently revealed the new prices for the popular entry level car, which has now gone up by Rs. 11,000. According to the revised prices, the Renault Kwid will now be retailed starting at Rs. 2.60 lakh to Rs. 3.64 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

    The Renault Kwid has been one of the most important car launches in 2015, mainly considering the fact that the car set a new benchmark in the small car segment. With its class-leading feature and highly aggressive pricing, the Renault Kwid became an instant success, especially for its low price point, starting at Rs. 2.56 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). But the prices were introductory and Renault had announced that it would later be increasing the price of the car.

    Based on the new prices, the base variant of the Renault Kwid has gone up by nearly Rs. 4000, whereas the price for the top-of-the-line RXT Option variant has been increased by Rs. 11,000. That being said, one cannot deny the fact that the Renault Kwid is still a value for money car. The Kwid is still undoubtedly one of the best looking cars in its segment, offering some class-leading features like spacious cabin, touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Bluetooth & AUX connectivity. The car also offers a best-in-class boot space of 300-litres and ground clearance of 180mm. Renault also offers an array of optional exterior features and interior trim choices for customers to choose from.
