Thoughts On The Renault Kwid RXL 1.0-Litre Variant Launch
The Renault Kwid has been one of the brand's best-selling models in the Indian market. The entry-level offering is an extremely attractive offering in its segment, rivalling the likes of the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso. The addition of the larger engine on the mid-spec variant, will further help attract more customers towards the Renault Kwid.
