“In my opinion, outside India, you cannot make a car like this, no matter where you go. Even in Brazil, Russia, or China, you cannot build a car to this cost target. With a car like this, you need Indian creativity and frugal engineering with no compromise on cost, which is so specific to the Indian approach”

In order to optimize the car better, Renault is bringing the best of all world to the car, with a mix of engineers from different countries like France, Japan and India who has specialized skills for making the car better. The only plant which is manufacturing this car is based in Chennai, the car is based on CMF-A platform that spawns various derivatives of the Kwid as well as underpin Datsun range of products.

Mr Gerard Detourbet, who is the project head who is based in India and who has designed and developed the Renault Kwid from the scratch said,

“The only way to develop a truly Indian car is to lead the development out of India”,

Only few engine critical components like connecting rods, knock sensors and fuel injectors has been imported from outside. Renault has invested around Rs 3,000 crore in the design, development and manufacturing of the Kwid.
