Renault Kwid RXL Launched In India; Priced At Rs 3.54 Lakh

Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations, said "The Kwid has proved to be one of the most successful vehicle launches in the Indian automotive industry and it continues to set new benchmarks in the compact hatchback segment.

"Having seen a highly favourable response to the powerful - Kwid RXT and RXT (O) 1.0-litre SCe and convenient - Kwid RXT (O) AMT, we believe there is a lot of potential in the market for derivatives of these versions.

"With the introduction of Renault Kwid RXL 1.0 SCe, we aim to make our 1.0 litre offering more accessible to customers, especially across tier II-IV markets, as we focus on consolidating our presence in India."

The KWID has been Renault's most successful model in India. Its biggest assets are practicality and value-for-money, and that propelled the hatchback to sell more than 1,30,000 units since its launch in 2015.

The new KWID RXL 1.0L SCe draws power from a 1.0-litre SCe engine. The model will also feature new speed-sport graphics on the doors and dual-tone grey OVRMs. The AMT version is also equipped with the same engine, and the motor is mated to a 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission.
