Renault KWID : The Renault Kwid, that cheeky entry-level hatchback, just marked a decade on Indian roads with fresh price cuts and a special edition that’s got budget buyers buzzing.
Starting at ₹4.30 lakh ex-showroom after GST tweaks, it’s still the go-to for city slickers ditching two-wheelers without breaking the bank.
Spied facelift hints at Duster-inspired looks, keeping this SUV-styled mini alive in a SUV-dominated market.
Price Slash and Anniversary Specials
September 2025 brought cheers with up to ₹55,095 off, dropping the base RXE 1.0 to ₹4.30 lakh from ₹4.70 lakh—on-road around ₹4.82 lakh in Delhi.
Top Climber AMT now ₹6.54 lakh, with CNG options from ₹5.99 lakh for eco-conscious folks. The 10th Anniversary Limited Edition (just 500 units in red) adds flair like Zanskar Blue accents, only on Techno trim with AMT.

Diwali deals piled on ₹80,000 discounts across variants, sales spiking as folks grab it over pricier rivals.
Facelift Spy Shots Stir Excitement
Camouflaged test mules spotted in late September reveal a bolder face: pentagonal halogen headlights echoing the new Duster, Y-shaped LED DRLs and tail-lamps for that modern edge.
New bumpers, edgy fenders, and flap door handles borrow from Dacia Spring EV, while inside, a larger 10-inch infotainment screen, fresh steering wheel, and digital cluster promise tech upgrades.
No EV for India yet—exhaust pipe confirms ICE stick—but six airbags, ABS, ESP, and TPMS could join the safety party. Launch eyed early 2026, keeping it under ₹6 lakh.
Compact Yet Spacious City Warrior
Measuring 3.68m long with 184mm ground clearance, the Kwid zips through potholes and speed bumps like a champ—perfect for Narnaund’s rural-urban mix.
279-litre boot swallows weekend groceries, seats five snugly with chilled AC and decent rear space for the price.
Eight vibrant shades including Moonlight Silver and Ice Cool White let owners stand out. Users love its light 700kg kerb weight for easy parking in tight bazaars.
Punchy Engine Options for Zippy Drives
Heart is the 1.0-litre SCe three-cylinder petrol (67bhp@5500rpm, 91Nm@4250rpm) mated to 5-speed manual or AMT—ARAI 22kmpl, real-world 16-18kmpl in traffic.
CNG variant sips efficiently at 28kg tank for longer hauls without range anxiety. Precise braking with standard ABS+EBD, Hill Start Assist, and rear camera on top trims make it confident for new drivers.
No turbo drama, but effortless overtakes and low NVH keep commutes fun.
Feature-Packed Without the Fuss
Climber dual-tone variants flaunt 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, digital driver’s display, rear sensors, and electrically adjustable ORVMs—rivaling cars twice the price.
Steering-mounted controls, cooled glovebox, and 12V socket add practicality; LED DRLs and projector lamps sharpen night visibility.

Facelift teases bigger screen and piano black accents, but current setup’s reliable—no glitches reported in long-term reviews.
Safety and Reliability User Tales
Dual front airbags standard now (six expected soon), plus crumple zones earning decent Global NCAP nods.
Owners rave about rust-proof body surviving monsoons, cheap spares (₹200 for wipers), and 50,000km service intervals.
City mileage shines, AC chills fast, but highway speeds above 100kmph feel vibey—best under 80kmph. Beats Maruti Alto in style, holds edge over S-Presso for features.
Renault KWID Rivals and Real-World Value
At this price, it duels WagonR, Celerio, and Tiago—Kwid wins on SUV stance and peppier AMT shifts. Post-GST, it’s cheaper than ever, ideal for cab drivers or families.
Drawbacks? No rear AC vents, basic plastics, but value-for-money seals the deal amid rising fuel costs.
Ten years strong, the Renault Kwid proves small cars still rule India’s streets with smart updates and unbeatable affordability.
Whether grabbing the anniversary special or waiting for facelift freshness, it’s a savvy pick for wallet-wise warriors chasing fun without fuss.
