A Decade of Redefining the Entry-Level Segment: The All-New Renault Kwid Arrives
Renault India, a wholly owned subsidiary of the French carmaker Renault Group, is celebrating a significant milestone: the 10th anniversary of the Renault Kwid in India. The Kwid, an iconic car that redefined the country’s entry-level segment with its disruptive design, SUV-inspired stance, and unmatched value, is now available in a new 10th Anniversary Edition and a refreshed variant lineup.
This launch marks a decade of customer trust and reinforces Renault’s commitment to delivering high-value mobility solutions. According to Venkatram Mamillapalle, Managing Director, Renault India, the Kwid has been instrumental in shaping Renault’s journey in India, with over 95% localization and a continuous focus on innovation and accessibility.
With the full benefits of GST reform passed on to customers, the refreshed Kwid stands out as an even more attractive and premium-value option for car buyers.
The Exclusive Kwid 10th Anniversary Edition
To commemorate this special milestone, Renault has launched an exclusive 10th Anniversary Edition, which is limited to just 500 units. This special edition is based on the new Techno variant and features exclusive styling elements that elevate its visual appeal and create a sense of collectability.
The 10th Anniversary Edition debuts in two new striking dual-tone colour options: Fiery Red with Black Roof and Shadow Grey with Black Roof. The exclusive styling is further enhanced with shiny black Flex Wheels and distinctive anniversary decals on the doors and C-pillar. A yellow grille insert also reinforces the edition’s vibrant identity.
Inside, the cabin is elevated with a 10th Anniversary-themed seat design and premium detailing. Yellow accents on the seats, a leatherette steering wheel with metal mustard stitching, and illuminated scuff plates add a youthful flair and celebrate the special character of this edition.
Refreshed Variant Lineup and Enhanced Safety
The celebration of the Kwid’s decade-long journey is not limited to the special edition alone. The entire Kwid range has been refreshed with enhanced safety and technology upgrades. All Kwid variants now feature 3-point seatbelts for all seats. The Climber variant has been specifically upgraded with six airbags, offering even more enhanced safety.
Renault India has also introduced a new variant nomenclature for the Kwid:
- Evolution (Earlier RXL)
- Techno (Earlier RXT)

SUV-Inspired Design and Drivability
The Renault Kwid continues to be a true disruptor, built on the pillars of attractiveness and innovation. Its SUV-inspired design, digital-first features, and class-leading ownership cost have redefined customer expectations in the segment. Under the hood, the Kwid comes with a 1.0L SCe engine that is optimized for performance and fuel efficiency. This engine delivers smooth drivability for both city streets and highways and is paired with a choice of manual or Easy-R AMT transmissions for added convenience.
With a high ground clearance of 184 mm and a robust suspension system, the Kwid offers SUV-like confidence, making it a unique blend of style, practicality, and everyday performance.
