Renault has silently launched the Kwid AMT today at Rs 4,25,776 ex-showroom, Delhi. The Kwid AMT will be available only on the top of the line 1.0 litre RXT trim. Ex-showroom prices for the other metros are Rs 4,42,720 in Bengaluru, Rs 4,38,738 in Chennai, and Rs 4,36,145 in Mumbai.
The Kwid AMT comes with a 5 Speed automated manual transmission, and will not have a gear lever. Instead, this simple rotary knob mounted on the centre console, through which the driver can select reverse, neutral or drive. Renault says there’s no “creep” functionality in the Kwid AMT, as majority of the automatic users don’t really like that feature.
The Kwid AMT is powered by the same 999 cc 3 cyl petrol motor as the manual 1.0 variant, producing 68 ps of power @ 5500 rpm and 91 Nm of torque @ 4250 rpm.
Since the Kwid AMT is based on the top of the line RXT trim, it gets all the features of the manual RXT trim such as 7 inch touchscreen MediaNav infotainment system with bluetooth telephony, keyless entry, front power windows and fog lamps. Plus, the AMT version gets driver airbag and Pro-Sense front seat belt feature as well.
On the outside, the only visual difference is the EASY-R badge on the hatch door. The Kwid AMT will go against the likes of Maruti Alto K10 AMT, Celerio AMT and Wagon R AMT.
