Renault is set to increase the prices of its entry-level model, the Kwid, by up to 3 per cent in April 2019. The French carmaker has credited this increment to rising input costs.

The Kwid is currently priced between Rs 2.67 lakh to Rs 4.63 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which means the max price increase could be up to the tune of Rs 13,900. Renault had updated the Kwid in February 2019 and equipped it with driver airbag, ABS, front seatbelt reminder and overspeed alert system as standard.

The 2019 Kwid also comes with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility in its top variant. The Renault Kwid competes against rivals such as the Maruti Alto and the Datsun redi-GO in the entry-level hatchback segment.
