Renault KWID (2017)

Sunday, 15 July 2018 04:19 PM In July 2018, the Renault Kwid received a minor update, adding new features such as pretensioner front seat-belts, two additional USB sockets, a rear armrest, and a new grille. This update also introduced two new color schemes, enhancing the cars appeal in the Indian market. I think these additions were a step in the right direction to keep the Kwid competitive.

Tuesday, 02 August 2016 12:54 AM In August 2016, Renault introduced a more powerful 1.0-liter engine for the Kwid, which produced 50 kW (67 hp) of power and 91 Nm of peak torque. This engine upgrade was a significant improvement over the initial 799 cc unit, making the car more appealing to buyers looking for better performance. I believe this move helped in boosting sales and customer satisfaction.

Wednesday, 20 May 2015 06:01 AM The Renault Kwid was unveiled in India on May 20, 2015, by Renaults CEO Carlos Ghosn. Ghosn described the car as a game changer for Renault in India, highlighting its high localization of parts and extensive engineering by local Renault personnel. The Kwid was designed to compete with other small cars in the Indian market. I think the launch was a bold move to capture the Indian auto market.

Friday, 01 May 2015 11:50 PM The Kwid was developed under the project code BBA and was the first car to be based on the new CMF-A platform jointly developed by Renault and Nissan. It featured a high sitting position and a 180 mm ride height, making it stand out in its segment. This innovative platform was a key factor in the Kwids success.
