Renault Kwid has been quite regular
with receiving minor updates and special editions, and now, it has now been
upgraded with a handful of additional features for MY2019. Prices of the 2019
Renault Kwid range from INR 2.67-4.63 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
The 2019 Renault Kwid
features ABS across all trims, while a driver-side airbag, which was earlier
available exclusively on the RXT(O) and Climber trims, is standard now.
Additionally, the new model features front and rear SBR, ELR seatbelts on front
and rear seats, reverse parking sensors and high-speed alert as a part of the
standard equipment list. With this, the entry-level small car is now ready to
embrace the more stringent safety norms that come into effect on 1 October
2019.
Furthermore, the
MediaNAV touchscreen infotainment system that has been available in the RXT(O)
and Climber trims has been replaced with the new MediaNav Evolution unit that
offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The AMT variants finally get a
crawl feature, which has been named as 'traffic assist'.
Mechanically, the
2019 Renault Kwid stays true to the outgoing version. It's available with two
three-cylinder petrol engine options - 0.8-litre and 1.0-litre. The former
outputs 54 PS and 72 Nm of torque, while the latter produces 68 PS and 91 Nm of
torque. Both the motors come mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Additionally, the bigger engine variant is even available with an optional
5-speed AMT.
