The Renault Kwid will get a new avatar in the form of the Kwid Climber. This car was showcased in concept form at the 2016 Auto Expo alongside the Kwid racer concept and is the first of the two to go into production.
The leaked brochure indicates that the vehicle gets a host of cosmetic updates both on the inside and outside but remains the same mechanically. A majority of the changes are on the outside where the car has been painted in a shade of legendary Renault Alpine Blue while the mirrors, roof rails and bash plate have painted in orange. A new addition this car are the grey alloy six-spoke wheels which is a first for the Kwid. The cabin is standard top-of-the-line Kwid fare but with orange inserts for dashboard, gear knob and edge of the seats.
This Kwid Climber is expected to be offered with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine producing 67bhp/90Nm. It can be had with a five-speed manual or a five-speed AMT (which is visible in the pictures). We believe that it will be priced Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 more than the equivalent standard model.
