The Renault Kwid was first launched in September 2015, and according to the French automaker, within 22 months, over 1.75 lakh units of the Kwid have been sold in the country. So that's around 7,955 units per month. However, as Renault reported in February 2017 that the Kwid crossed the 1.3 lakh sales milestone then, so in the last five months around 11,000 units of Kwid has been sold every month. The Kwid has turned out to be a major cash cow for the automaker and is helping to grow its market share by leaps and bound.
With that pace and lowered prices, thanks to GST, the Renault Kwid promises to touch greater heights in the coming future. To touch on that GST part, the Kwid now starts at Rs 2.62 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 4.49 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). From July 1, Renault started passing on the GST benefits to its customers nationwide, with location-depended savings ranging from Rs 5,200 to Rs 29,500.
Over its 22 months of existence, the Kwid has also received a number of updates and special editions. Renault launched the Kwid with a 0.8-litre engine and in August 2016 added a more powerful 1.0-litre engine in to the mix. In September 2016, the convenience of an automated manual transmission (AMT) was injected. To liven things up, Renault also added the Live for More Edition and Kwid Climber variants into the car’s portfolio. Clearly, the French carmaker wants to cash in from all fronts with its blockbuster of a recipe.
