Through the 45 day drive, KWID negotiated a mix of different challenges in the form of snow-clad roads, sub-zero temperatures, monsoons with heavy rains and floods and places without traversable roads.
Renault India has recently also launched the new KWID AMT and KWID 1.0L SCe (Smart Control efficiency). Both the vehicles have been launched keeping in mind the diversified needs of the Indian customers.
