Renault Kwid EV India Launch
After the next-generation Duster and its seven-seater counterpart arrive in India, Renault is anticipated to launch a domestically produced A-segment EV, possibly following in the Kwid EV’s footsteps.
Renault Kwid EV Exterior
The E-Tech has a more futuristic appearance than the typical Kwid that we are used to. The conventional air intake is replaced by a sealed grille that also serves as a cover for the charging port, which is located at the front. Distinct DRLs are positioned above projector headlamps on the grille, and the tiny hatchback has a harder appearance thanks to 14-inch dual-tone alloys, black wheel-arch bracing, and contrast body mouldings.
Renault Kwid EV Safety
It has a rear camera, ISOFIX mounts, ESP, hill start assistance, six airbags, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. A total of 11 Level 1 ADAS features, such as lane departure alert and speed limiter, are added to that. The Kwid E-Tech, which is priced at BRL 99,990 (about Rs. 16 lakh), is aiming for large volume sales in Brazil’s small EV market.

Renault Kwid EV Interior
A small e-shifter built into the console has taken the place of the conventional gear lever, and the instrument cluster is a fully digital 7-inch device. Additional features include a height-adjustable steering wheel, two USB Type-C charging connections, a flat-bottom multipurpose steering wheel, and a spacious 290-litre boot.
Renault Kwid EV Rear Design
The rear, which has a black bumper with reflectors and a busy-looking cluster of LED tail lamps, is finished off with subtle “E-Tech” and “E-Kwid” badges. Regarding the cabin and available technologies, Renault has made significant strides. A brand-new floating 10.1-inch touchscreen entertainment system that integrates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto takes centre stage on the dashboard.
Renault Kwid EV Charging Capabilities
180 kilometres is the car’s stated driving range between charges. A 30 kW DC fast charger can fully recharge a device from 15 to 80 percent in around 40 minutes, but a 7.4 kW residential wall box requires almost three hours. Renault has also given careful consideration to the Kwid E-Tech’s safety.
