Renault Kwid: 1 lakh sales up!

Renault Kwid has reached the 1 lakh domestic sales milestone in India. It has managed to achieve this number in 14 months since its official launch in the country.

The Kwid competes in the high-volume entry-level hatchback segment. It rivals the likes of the Maruti Alto 800 and the Hyundai Eon. Both these cars come from prominent automakers, while Renault is a relatively new name in the segment. However, owing to its crossover inspired styling and some segment-first features like a touchscreen infotainment system, the Kwid has managed to attract quite a few buyers in the segment.

Renault has also acknowledged the Kwid's success and has thus been launching new variants to optimize sales volume from the nameplate. The Kwid is currently available with three powertrains: 0.8-litre with 5-speed manual, 1.0-litre with 5-speed manual and 1.0-litre with AMT.
