Renault KWID Standard Updates

Thursday, 27 June 2024 06:15 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid has seen a significant update with the introduction of the RXL(O) variant, which is now the most affordable car in India to feature a touchscreen and an automatic AMT. This variant is priced at Rs. 5.45 lakh, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers. The Kwid also boasts improved ground clearance and SUV-like styling, enhancing its appeal. I think this update makes the Kwid a strong contender in the entry-level segment.

Friday, 21 June 2024 03:09 PM Renault has consolidated the variant lineup of the Kwid, dropping the RXL trim and enhancing the features of the RXL(O) variant. This mid-spec variant now includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and power windows on all four doors. These additions make the RXL(O) a more attractive choice for buyers on a tight budget.

Tuesday, 18 June 2024 05:38 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid features a range of safety enhancements, including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, traction control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system across all variants. However, the top-spec model still only comes with dual-front airbags, lacking the option for six airbags. I believe this is an area where Renault could improve to match modern safety standards.

Monday, 15 January 2024 05:49 AM Renault India has launched the updated 2024 Kwid with revised pricing, making it more competitive in the market. The prices now range from Rs. 4.70 lakh to Rs. 6.12 lakh (ex-showroom), with the RXL(O) AMT variant being the cheapest automatic car available in India at Rs. 5.44 lakh. This pricing strategy could help Renault regain market share.

Monday, 15 January 2024 04:03 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid retains its 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, but performance has seen some improvements, especially between 2000-4000 rpm. The car is known for its ease of driving, particularly in city conditions, thanks to its compact dimensions and light steering. I think this makes it an excellent city commuter.

Monday, 15 January 2024 06:08 PM Renault has introduced three new dual-tone paint options for the 2024 Kwid: Moonlight Silver with Black, Zanskar Blue with Black, and Fiery Red with Black. These additions, along with existing options, give buyers more choices to personalize their vehicle. The dual-tone models, especially the Climber trim, look quite appealing.

Monday, 15 January 2024 11:01 PM The Kwids interior remains largely unchanged but has seen some minor improvements. The mid-spec RXL(O) variant now comes with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and power windows on all four doors. However, the driver still lacks a master control for the power windows, which is a minor inconvenience.

Monday, 15 January 2024 02:13 PM Renault has emphasized the Kwids practicality by retaining its segment-best 279 litres of boot capacity. This, combined with the cars compact size and good ride quality, makes it a versatile option for daily use. I believe the Kwids balance of space and maneuverability is one of its strongest points.

Monday, 15 January 2024 05:44 AM The 2024 Renault Kwids fuel efficiency has been reported, with the AMT variant offering a real-world mileage of 16.83 kmpl in the city and 21.06 kmpl on the highway. This gives it an average mileage of 18 kmpl, making it a fuel-efficient choice for urban driving.

Monday, 15 January 2024 08:04 AM Renault has improved the safety features of the Kwid, including standard offerings like rear seatbelt reminders, ABS with EBD, ESP, and traction control. However, the lack of speed-sensing door locks in the basic variant and the absence of six airbags in the top-spec model are notable omissions. I think these are areas Renault should address in future updates.
