Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Kwid RXT (O) is a budget-friendly option that packs a punch in terms of style and features, but it has its share of drawbacks. While it boasts a stylish design, comfortable interior, and a host of modern features like an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it also faces criticism for its engine noise and vibration, particularly at lower RPMs. The automatic transmission, though convenient, may not be ideal for enthusiasts. Despite these issues, the Kwid remains a solid choice for first-time buyers and those on a tight budget, offering good fuel efficiency and a spacious interior. However, potential buyers should be aware of the maintenance issues some owners have reported and the lack of refinement in the engine.

Price

In India, the Renault Kwid RXT (O) is priced competitively to appeal to the budget-conscious buyer. The ex-showroom price for the manual transmission variant is around Rs. 4,99,500, while the automatic transmission (AMT) variant comes at approximately Rs. 5,44,500. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from Rs. 5.7 lakh to Rs. 6.3 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. Given the features and the segment it operates in, the pricing is reasonable, making it an attractive option for those looking for a stylish and feature-packed car without breaking the bank.

Latest Updates

Friday, 21 June 2024 04:47 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) now comes with a fresh 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a feature that was previously limited to the top RXT and Climber variants. This update makes the Kwid one of the most affordable cars in India to offer a touchscreen unit. The system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though it requires a data cable. I think this is a great move to make the car more appealing to tech-savvy buyers.

Friday, 21 June 2024 03:53 PM The interior of the 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) remains largely unchanged but still offers a fresh and premium look with the digital instrument cluster. The car also features dual-tone multi-spoke flex wheels, which are smartly designed wheel covers that look like alloy wheels. I believe the interior design holds up well against competitors.

Friday, 21 June 2024 06:35 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) continues to be powered by the 1.0-litre petrol engine, which produces 67 bhp of power and 91 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with both manual and AMT transmission options, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. I believe this engine is well-suited for urban driving.

Monday, 15 January 2024 05:28 PM Renault has introduced three new dual-tone exterior color options for the 2024 Kwid RXT (O), including Moonlight Silver with Black, Zanskar Blue with Black, and Fiery Red with Black. These additions enhance the cars visual appeal and provide more choices for buyers. I believe these new colors will attract more attention on the road.

Monday, 15 January 2024 12:22 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) has seen a price reduction across its variants. The RXT MT is now priced at Rs. 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs. 17,000 cheaper than the pre-facelift model. This makes the car more competitive in the market. I think this price cut will help Renault gain more market share.

Monday, 15 January 2024 10:00 AM Renault has implemented several updates to the 2024 Kwid RXT (O), including electronic stability program, traction control system, and tyre pressure monitoring system as standard safety features. These updates enhance the overall driving experience and safety of the vehicle. I think these features are essential for modern driving.

Wednesday, 10 January 2024 07:27 AM Renault has updated the safety features of the 2024 Kwid RXT (O), including the addition of a rear seat belt reminder as a standard feature across all variants. Other safety features like front seat belts with load limiter, driver seat belt with pre-tensioner, and ABS with EBD and brake assist are also standard. This enhances the overall safety of the vehicle. I believe these safety updates are crucial for modern cars.

Wednesday, 10 January 2024 05:48 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) comes with power windows on all four doors, a feature that starts from the RXL (O) trim. However, the master control for all windows is still missing, and the buttons for the front windows are inconveniently placed on the dashboard. I think this is a minor oversight but still a useful feature.

Wednesday, 10 January 2024 12:04 PM Renault has consolidated the variant lineup of the 2024 Kwid, and the RXT (O) variant now offers more features and creature comforts than before. This includes the digital instrument cluster and other premium features, making it a more lucrative option for buyers on a budget. I believe this makes the RXT (O) a strong contender in its segment.

Wednesday, 10 January 2024 10:10 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT (O) is available with both manual and AMT transmission options. The RXL (O) AMT variant, which is part of the updated lineup, is now the cheapest automatic car available in India, priced at Rs. 5.45 lakh (ex-showroom). I think this is a great option for those looking for an affordable automatic car.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:40 PM The Renault Kwid RXT (O) offers commendable fuel efficiency, which is a significant factor for many Indian buyers. With a claimed mileage of 21.46 kmpl for the manual transmission and 22.3 kmpl for the AMT, this car is economical to run. In real-world conditions, owners have reported mileage ranging from 18 to 22 kmpl, which is quite satisfactory for a car in this segment. This makes the Kwid a good choice for those concerned about running costs and fuel efficiency.
