Renault India launches Renault KWID

This is the first launch in the global journey of Renault KWID, and reflects the importance of India in Renault’s global expansion plans.

 

 Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations, shared: “With Renault KWID, we offer our customers the best compact hatchback which has been designed and developed by Renault’s global teams including India, making it a truly international car. 

 

"We have completely reinvented the conventional expectations and notions associated with the mini car segment in India with an Attractive, Innovative and Affordable product. Renault KWID is astutely designed, loaded with class leading features and comes at a compelling price point, offering customers the best from the world of Renault. With Renault KWID, we have taken the localization level to 98%, the highest ever by an auto manufacturer in India at the onset of launch, which will enable customers to enjoy an unmatched ownership experience.” 

 

He said Renault KWID is the most fuel efficient petrol car in the country delivering mileage of 25.17 kmpl* which is enabled by a 3 cylinder 0.8 liter SCe – Smart Control Efficiency petrol engine. Together with the outstanding mileage, Renault has taken focussed efforts to take the localisation level to 98%, which will positively influence the overall cost of ownership, and make the Renault KWID easy on the pocket.

 

Renault KWID comes with several features. They include the  ground clearance of 180 mm, a boot capacity of 300 litres, 7 inch touchscreen Media-Nav system and an all-digital instrument cluster. The length and width of the car is also best-in-class thus offering a stunning, powerful road presence and superior interior space.

 

Together with the superior mileage and high localization level, Renault KWID will be best-in-class in maintenance part costs, the company officials said. Renault will offer a 50,000 km/2 Year Maintenance Policy, extendable up to 80,000 km/ 4 years. Renault will also offer complementary Road Side Assistance for 2 years.
