Soon after India initiated the unlocking activities, Renault India introduced the AMT versions of the Triber. Then, about six weeks later, the French carmaker launched two new variants for the Kwid. That development also came with the axing of four derivatives. With the festive period fast approaching, the company has made upward price revisions for the two models above. Here, check out the revised price lists:
All Kwid variants now cost Rs 6,000 more (approximately). As for the Triber, four derivatives have received a price hike by nearly Rs 12,000 and the remaining three now cost Rs 13,000 more than before.
As before, the Kwid is available with two engine and as many transmission options. The 0.8-litre petrol mill, which produces 53bhp/72Nm, comes coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. The same gearbox is also available with the 1.0-litre petrol motor, which generates 67bhp/91Nm. Alternatively, you can have the bigger powerplant with a 5-speed AMT as well. Renault calls it the Easy-R.
The Triber, on the other hand, has one engine and two transmission options. All variants come with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol mill, which pumps out 71bhp/96Nm. As standard, it comes coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Else, one can opt for a 5-speed AMT as well. Between them (Kwid and Triber), they bring the maximum revenue for Renault in India.
Apart from them, the only remaining model in Renault India’s portfolio is the Duster. The SUV recently received a new lease of life with the help of a turbocharged 1.3-litre petrol engine. The company is also working to bring in its fourth product – a subcompact SUV, which will rival the likes of the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and the Kia Sonet. If reports are to be believed, the upcoming Renault will be called the Kiger. Expect that to hit showrooms across the country in early 2021.
