Renault has updated its most affordable offering for the Indian car market, the entry-level hatchback Kwid, for 2022. This time around, Renault has rejigged the variant lineup by axing two entry-level, bare basic STD and RXE variants, and introducing a new mid-level RXL (O) variant.
With this, the new Renault Kwid is now available only in four variants – RXL, RXL (O), RXT and Climber. Even the features have been revised, prominently in the first two variants. We have compiled down all the features available in all the four variants of the refreshed Renault Kwid:

Price – Rs 4.50 lakh (0.8-litre manual), Rs 4.60 lakh (1.0-litre manual)
With the discontinuation of STD and RXE variants, Renault Kwid’s lineup now commences with the RXL variant. This new base variant of the Kwid packs in just the safety basics, which include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, remote keyless entry and speed sensing auto door lock. It also gets daytime running LEDs, LED inserts in tail lamps and a rear roof spoiler with a high-mounted stop lamp on the outside.
On the inside, the RXL variant gets a fully-digital instrument console, a 12V power socket, manual AC and two speakers integrated within the front doors. Also, this time around, the 1.0-litre engine option is available from this base variant itself. This particular variant is available in only two colour options of Ice Cool White and Moonlight Silver.
