The Kwid 1.0 MT and AMT was available only in the top end RXT trim. Commenting on the RXL 1.0 variants, Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and MD, Renault India, said – “KWID has proved to be one of the most successful vehicle launches in the Indian automotive industry and it continues to set new benchmarks in the compact hatchback segment. Having seen a highly favourable response to the powerful – KWID RXT and RXT (O) 1.0L SCe and convenient – KWID RXT (O) AMT, we believe there is a lot of potential in the market for derivatives of these versions. With the introduction of Renault KWID RXL 1.0 SCe, we aim to make our 1.0L offering more accessible to customers, especially across tier II-IV markets, as we focus on consolidating our presence in India.”
The Kwid 1.0 is powered by 999 cc three-cylinder SCe petrol engine, producing 68 PS of power @ 5500 rpm and 91 Nm of torque @ 4250 rpm, with an option of a 5 Speed manual and a 5 Speed AMT. Renault didn’t mention any change in the feature list of the RXL trim.
