Renault India has refreshed the Kwid with updated styling, a simplified variant lineup, and a new online purchase benefit aimed at making first-time car ownership more accessible. The biggest highlight is the fully loaded Climber variant, which now carries an effective price of ₹4.99 lakh after an online cash benefit of ₹15,000.
The update comes as Renault looks to strengthen the Kwid's appeal in the entry-level hatchback segment, where it competes with models such as the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10.
Two Variants Instead of Many
Renault has simplified the Kwid lineup by reducing it to just two variants:
- Evolution
- Climber
According to the company, the move is intended to make the buying process easier for first-time customers by offering a clearer choice. The refreshed Kwid also adopts Renault's latest global brand identity with subtle exterior design updates.
