Renault India is celebrating a big milestone, which is the 10 years of Kwid in India. To mark this anniversary, the company has launched the Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition, along with a refreshed lineup of this SUVs variants that make the small-yet-stylish hatchback even more attractive for buyers.
The Renault Kwid has been a game-changer in India’s entry-level car segment since its debut in 2015, as it stood out with its SUV-inspired looks, affordable price with modern features, which wasn’t common in budget cars back then. Now, a decade later, Renault is giving it a fresh twist to keep the excitement going.
What’s New in the 10th Anniversary Edition?
- Limited to just 500 units, which makes it a collectible.
- Based on the Techno variant, which is priced at Rs 5.14 lakh (Manual) and Rs 5.63 lakh (AMT), ex-showroom pan India.
- Comes in two dual-tone colour options: Fiery Red with Black Roof and Shadow Grey with Black Roof which is a brand-new shade.
- Stylish updates include: Black Flex Wheels, Anniversary decals on the doors and C-pillar and Yellow grille insert for a sporty vibe.
- Inside, the cabin gets a special 10th Anniversary seat design with yellow accents, a leatherette steering wheel with premium stitching and illuminated scuff plates and puddle lamps for a celebratory touch.

Safety Gets a Boost
Renault isn’t just focusing on looks but it is adding more safety too, like 3-point seatbelts for all seats across the range and the top-end Climber variant now offers 6 airbags, a big plus in the budget segment.
New Variant Lineup
Renault has also updated the names of Kwid models:
- Evolution (earlier RXL)
- Techno (earlier RXT)
- Climber (remains the flagship variant)
The Kwid continues to be one of the most pocket friendly cars in India, starting at Rs 4.29 lakh for the base variant, while the AMT (automatic) option begins at Rs 4.99 lakh, making it one of the most affordable automatic cars in India.
Why Kwid Still Stands Out:
- Affordable SUV-like design with good ground clearance which is 184 mm.
- 1.0L petrol engine, which is tuned for both performance and fuel efficiency.
- Choice of manual or AMT (automatic) gearbox.
- Low ownership cost and features like touchscreen infotainment that makes it appealing to first-time buyers.
Venkatram Mamillapalle, MD of Renault India, said, “The Kwid has been instrumental in shaping Renault’s journey in India, redefining the entry segment with its innovation, accessibility, and over 95% localisation. Having already set new benchmarks in style within the micro-SUV category, the 10th Anniversary Edition marks a significant milestone – celebrating a decade of customer trust and our commitment to delivering high-value mobility solutions.”
