The Renault Kwid is a popular SUV-styled entry-level hatchback and for the 2021 model year update, it is now equipped with dual front airbags as standard. This update is in line with the regulations that will make the front passenger airbag mandatory for all cars. Since the previous base-spec STD variant has been discontinued, the Kwid’s entry price has increased by Rs 75,000.

The Kwid Climber, previously offered in electric blue only, is now available in white with a black roof and orange accents around the headlamp housing, roof rails, and skid plates. It still gets orange caps for the outside rearview mirrors and all-black 14-inch wheels. There are a couple of new features for the Kwid Climber as well, like electric ORVMs and a day/night IRVM. Another new feature is that the driver’s seatbelt has a pretensioner and load limiter.

The Kwid continues to be offered with the 0.8-litre and 1-litre petrol engines, and the latter gets the choice of an AMT as well. With these updates, the prices for the Kwid now stand as follows:

Variant	2021 Prices	Previous Prices
Kwid STD 0.8	N.A.	Rs 3.31 lakh
Kwid RXE 0.8	Rs 4.06 lakh	Rs 4.02 lakh
Kwid RXL 0.8	Rs 4.36 lakh	Rs 4.31 lakh
Kwid RXL 1.0L	Rs 4.53 lakh	Rs 4.49 lakh
Kwid RXT 0.8	Rs 4.66 lakh	Rs 4.62 lakh
Kwid RXT(O) 1.0L	Rs 4.90 lakh	Rs 4.86 lakh
Kwid RXL 1.0L EASY-R AMT	Rs 4.93 lakh	Rs 4.89 lakh
Kwid Climber(O) 1.0L	Rs 5.11 lakh	Rs 5.07 lakh
Kwid RXT(O) 1.0L EASY-R AMT	Rs 5.30 lakh	Rs 5.26 lakh
Kwid Climber(O) 1.0L EASY-R AMT	Rs 5.51 lakh	Rs 5.47 lakh

The Renault Kwid competes against the likes of other entry-level offerings like the Maruti Alto, Maruti S-Presso, and Datsun redi-Go. Besides, its top-end would rival the likes of the upcoming Tata Punch and Hyundai Casper micro SUVs.
