Latest update on Renault KWID EV
Last Updated on 19th Dec'23 : The Kwid EV, known as the Dacia Spring Electric in Europe, is currently available for purchase on the European market. While there is anticipation for its launch in India, recent updates on this model are scarce. On a related note, the next-generation Renault Duster has been officially confirmed for the Indian market, with plans for its launch set in 2025.
Kwid EV Exteriors
The Electric version of Kwid will not be very different in terms of style from the current generation car. Expect a few cosmetic changes to the bodyshell for making it distinct as an EV but that's it. Kwid EV will continue to use the same chassis and design as the running current-generation model. What is possible is the addition of new design elements such as the new bumper and slightly redesigned front fascia. Similarly, the rear of the new car will feature slight upgrades for distinct EV looks. We can also expect different styled wheel caps and a 'closed' design for the grille.
Kwid EV Interiors
In terms of interiors, Kwid EV will remain mostly the same. Space management and creature comforts shall not be compromised. Kwid Electric will carry along the design cues from the current-generation car. A slight update in terms of cosmetics is expected which is still not clear what Renault will change.
Renault may tweak the colour them to match that of the electric powertain.
Kwid EV Features
Kwid EV features list shall include the use of a new all-digital speedometer. The instrument cluster shall be provided with hosts of features that will assist the driver in various circumstances. A touch-screen infotainment system shall be the segment-first feature that is highly expected to come as standard fitment on the upcoming Kwid EV.
Kwid EV Engine
No details have been revealed about the type of batteries to be used and how Renault is going to design the powertrain till now. What we can expect is that this all-electric powertrain shall help the Kwid EV to achieve an actual driving range of somewhere upwards of 200 km on a single charge. The current car is available with 800cc and 1000cc petrol engine options.
Kwid Electric might use the 26.8 kWh battery from the Dacia Spring EV. This electric motor could generate 45 PS of power and 125 Nm of torque.
Kwid EV Price & Launch
Kwid EV is expected to come into the market by the mid of the year 2023 or the first quarter of 2024. A long way far from launch, Kwid EV when launched shall be priced on a little higher side than expected. Equating this, a price bracket from Rs 7-9 Lakhs is expected for the upcoming electric Kwid.
