Renault drives in Kwid

Renault announced an aggressive pricing for its entry car Kwid at Rs.2.6 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) as the French auto major looks to take on the formidable Maruti Alto and Hyundai's Eon in the big-volume category .
The 800 cc car is Renault's most ambitious bid at the Indian car market after it launched the Duster mini SUV in 2012.
The entry variant of the Kwid, which carries 98% local content, does not have power windows, power steering and air-conditioning, though these are available on the higher-up variants.
There are six variants of the model and the top-end comes for Rs.3.5 lakh. Renault has worked for nearly three years to manage the costing of the Kwid, considering that the car will compete with the Alto and Eon. It was developed using engineering centres in India, France and Japan.
