Renault Car Models Lineup Upgraded in India

Renault Kwid, Triber, Kiger now RDE, BS6 stage 2 compliant ESP, TPMS, Traction Control, now standard features across all models New Kwid RXE variant introduced

Renault India has just given an update to its current model lineup in the country, the Kwid, Triber and Kiger. All three models now conform to the upcoming RDE Emission Norms and the brand has also added new features as standard on these vehicles.

The French automaker has started accepting bookings for the updated Kwid, Triber and the Kiger but is yet to announce their prices.

Renault Kwid, Triber, Kiger: Updated Powertrains

All three models continue with the same petrol powertrains but now have been updated to meet the upcoming Real Driving Emission norms. The vehicles come fitted with a self-diagnostic device that constantly tracks the vehicle’s emissions while driving as well as the oxygen sensors and the catalytic converter.

2023 Renault Triber comes powered by a 1-litre, three-pot petrol making 71 bhp with 96 Nm of peak torque and is mated to a 5-speed manual or an AMT transmission. Renault offers this powertrain also on the Kiger as well as a 1-litre turbo petrol pumping out 100 bhp with 152 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options for the subcompact SUV include a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic.

Renault Triber

Talking about the Renault Kwid, it also comes powered by the same 1-litre petrol motor as the Triber. However, the 0.8-litre gasoline engine that used to be the entry-level offering for the vehicle is no longer available. It looks like Renault has dropped the engine from the lineup due to low demand.

The update sees Renault also add new safety features as standard. All three models now get Hill Start Assist, Traction Control Assist, Electronic Stability Program, and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. The Kwid provides new features like LED turn indicators on the ORVMs and steering-mounted controls while the Triber gets chrome-finished door handles and new upholstery.

Additionally, the brand has introduced a new RXE trim for the Kwid. It will replace the older RXL variant as the entry-level trim for the hatchback.
