Where the money buys the most equipment, and where it buys the least

Renault Kwid: questions buyers ask
Which Renault Kwid variant is the best value?
Evolution 1.0 Petrol MT to Climber 1.0 Petrol MT costs ₹62,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹31,500 — 50% of the price rise. That is the variant upgrade where equipment explains the most of what you pay. No variant on this car is covered outright by the equipment it adds, so this is the closest it gets. The figure is computed from the feature difference, not chosen.
Which Renault Kwid variant gives back the least?
Evolution 1.0 Petrol AMT to Climber 1.0 Petrol AMT costs ₹71,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹31,500 — 44% of the price rise. The rest of that money goes on things we do not itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin.
How many variants does the Renault Kwid have?
4, across 2 powertrains, from ₹4,52,900 to ₹5,60,900 ex-showroom. Every trim and gearbox Renault prices. Left out: the Climber's dual-tone paint versions.

What are the Renault Kwid's dimensions, boot space and ground clearance?
It is 3,731 mm long, 1,579 mm wide and 1,490 mm tall. Boot space is 279 litres. Ground clearance is 184 mm. The fuel tank holds 28 litres. These are Renault's own figures.
When was the Renault Kwid launched?
The Renault Kwid on sale now, the first generation, was launched in India in Sept 2015. It has not been facelifted since.
Is a new Renault Kwid or a facelift coming?
Renault has announced nothing, and we found no credible reports of one as of 1 Nov 2026.
What colours does the Renault Kwid come in?
Renault lists 5 colours: Ice Cool White, Fiery Red, Outback Bronze, Moonlight Silver, Zanskar Blue. Not every colour is offered on every variant.
What is the Renault Kwid's safety rating?
There is no Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP rating for the Renault Kwid as it is sold now. The published results are for an earlier version or an older test protocol.
What is the on-road price of the Renault Kwid?
The cheapest variant, Evolution 1.0 Petrol MT, comes to about ₹4,99,576 on road in Delhi — ₹4,52,900 ex-showroom plus road tax, insurance, registration and TCS where it applies. Road tax is set by the state, so the total moves by a lakh or more between them.
How we checked these figures
Data notes — where these figures come from
Prices from Renault's own configurator price list (document BAE0, applicable 3 Jul 2026), ex-showroom Delhi, plain paint; the Climber's dual-tone versions are not modelled. Equipment from the configurator, which marks every item standard or not per version, and the brochure's equipment table (3 Jul 2026); the two agree. Hill-start assist is AMT only on both trims; the electronic stability program is one of the brochure's '17 standard safety features' and Renault's configurator lists ESP as standard on all four versions, so stability control is credited on all of them (29 Oct 2026). Six airbags are Climber only. Not credited, each because Renault says less than our entry needs: the Climber's reversing camera, described 'with guidelines' but not moving ones; and smartphone mirroring, which Renault does not describe as wireless. Both trims run steel wheels with full covers (dual-tone styled on the Climber), which count as wheel covers. Renault prints 69 PS and 92.5 Nm from 999 cc and publishes no certified fuel efficiency, so none is stored.
