Renault has given the Kwid another update for 2026, keeping its journey alive nearly eleven years after the hatchback first arrived in India in 2015. Over the years, the Kwid has become a popular choice for first-time car buyers because of its SUV-inspired styling, compact size and affordable pricing. The latest version brings a few design revisions, a simpler variant lineup and better safety equipment, while the familiar petrol engine continues under the hood. Prices now begin at Rs 4.53 lakh (ex-showroom).
