Renault Kwid unveiled in India

Just the briefest of glances is enough to confirm one important fact about Renault's new Kwid: sadly, it bears no relation whatsoever to the similarly-named concept which was revealed at last year's Delhi Auto Show.

That's hardly surprising though, because a production model actually has to find buyers. Accordingly, the Kwid is a conventional-looking small five-door hatchback with SUV styling cues. Measuring 3.68 metres (12’ 1”) long, it's the first vehicle to be built on Renault-Nissan's CMF-A platform.

Specification details have yet to be released, but Renault seems keen to point out that a multimedia system incorporating a 7” screen, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation is going to be available.

Sales of the Kwid are due to begin in India during the second half of 2015. There, prices will start from around Rs. 3.00 lakhs, which roughly equates to £3,050 / €4,300 / US$4,725.

Crucially, Renault is describing it as a “global product” so further market launches are expected to follow. Whether or not that includes Europe remains to be seen.
