Renault has introduced a more
affordable trim level in the Renault Kwid 1.0-litre range - RXL. With 98 percent localisation, the Renault
Kwid has all the right making of an affordable compact hatchback. However, due
to increased demand, the company has released a new trim level that sacrifices
a few creature comforts, in order to provide more affordability to its
customers The new RXL trim is available with manual and AMT options, while
sitting below the RXT Opt trim in the hierarchy. While there are a few options
that are not available in the RXL trim, there are quite a few conveniences as
well.
The highlights of the Renault Kwid RXL 1.0
on the outside include day-time running lights and designer graphics. Step
inside and the biggest change from the higher RXT Opt version is the missing
touchscreen infotainment system, reverse camera, steering mounted controls and
high-end seat cover. Yet, the Renault Kwid RXL 1.0 still features niceties like
a half-digital-half-analog instrument cluster, front power windows and
single-din music system with USB & Aux connectivity.
The price of the new Renault Kwid RXL 1.0
retails at INR 4.16 lakh (ex-showroom) for the manual version and 4.48 lakh
(ex-showroom) for the AMT version. In order to further lure customers in,
Renault has even launched its ‘Buy now, pay later’ scheme. Under this,
customers can pick up their brand new Renault Kwid and do not have to worry
about EMI payment until three months after. Furthermore, the Renault Kwid now
also benefits from new exchange offers, cash benefits and a finance rate of
8.25 per cent. The Kwid is based on the versatile CMF-A platform which it
shares with the Renault Triber, upcoming Renault Kiger and upcoming Nissan
sub-4 metre Magnite SUV.
