It is offered only with the 1-litre petrol engine and it is also the entry-level trim for the AMT option

If you are someone who’s looking for a well-equipped trim of the Renault Kwid but don’t need the fully-loaded top-spec Climber, the second-from-top RXT is the one for you. It is priced at a premium of Rs 35,000 over the RXL (O) but does it make the most value-for-money proposition?

Variant	1-litre MT	1-litre AMT
RXT	Rs 5.19 lakh	Rs 5.61 lakh
Climber	Rs 5.42 lakh	Rs 5.84 lakh
Difference	Rs 23,000

Why consider the RXT variant?

The Kwid RXT offers a feature-set that makes it the practical and comfortable choice. It now gets power windows all around, power adjustable ORVMs, a touchscreen infotainment system and rear parking camera. It is also the entry-level variant for an automatic transmission (AMT in this case) option for an extra Rs 42,000.

Here’s a look at its features:

Why skip the Kwid RXT trim?

While this is our recommended value-for-money pick, it doesn’t offer the kind of road presence or style which is limited to the top-spec Kwid Climber.

Variant	Verdict
RXL	Better to skip this trim and stretch to the RXL (O) variant for better basic features.
RXL (O)	Recommended only for those on a strict budget.
RXT	Being the most value-for-money trim, this is our recommended variant.
Climber	We suggest you consider this variant only if you want the baby-SUV look with an acceptable premium for better looks.
