Renault has introduced a new special edition of its hatchback, the Renault Kwid, priced from Rs 2.93 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The new Renault Kwid ‘Live For More’ edition gets added cosmetic detailing inside and out to make the hatchback car more attractive to prospective buyers.

Changes to the exterior of the Renault Kwid special edition include a new contrast-coloured roof-mounted spoiler, grey and red graphics along the bonnet, roof and doors along with red accents on the grille, wheel covers and roof rails. Changes to the cabin include a new steering wheel cover with red stitching and red inserts on the door pads. Equipment levels carry forward unchanged.

The new special edition Renault Kwid is available with both 799cc and larger 1.0-litre three-cylinder engines and with the option of the five-speed AMT gearbox available on the top RxT(O) trim.

The Kwid has become a strong seller for Renault in the country with sales last year amounting to over 96,000 units over 11 months from January 2016. The Kwid rivals the likes of the Maruti Alto 800 and the K10, Hyundai Eon and the Datsun Redigo.
