UPDATE: Renault Kwid facelift vs rivals: Price, fuel-efficiency comparison
Renault has brought out the facelift for its bestselling model, the Kwid, priced at Rs 2.83-4.84 lakh. The update brings with it a fresh exterior design, more features and, importantly, makes sure the hatchback meets upcoming crash test and pedestrian safety norms. The two aspects of the Kwid facelift that continue unchanged are its mechanicals (the same BS4-compliant engines remain) and the variant lineup. The Kwid facelift is on offer in a total of eight variants – four with the 54hp, 0.8-litre petrol engine; two with the 68hp, 1.0-litre petrol-manual; and two with the 1.0-litre petrol-AMT.

With the update, prices of the Kwid have risen by about Rs 7,000-9,000, which is justified considering the new exteriors and increase in equipment levels. Here are all the features that are on offer with each variant of the Kwid facelift:

Considering the top-spec Maruti S-Presso is priced at Rs 4.48 lakh (Rs 4.91 lakh for the AMT version), it seems like Renault has priced the new Kwid very well, especially considering the features on offer. However, expect prices to rise in the coming months as Renault will roll out the BS6-compliant versions of the current three-cylinder engines.
