Let me just introduce the 2018 Renault Kwid as it gets additional features and is also called as new KWID 2018 Feature Loaded Range.

In addition to these, 2018 Renault Kwid Feature Loaded Range gets Rear ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) across all variants which allows the rear seat belt to freely extend and retract with occupant movement, yet locks the belt during a sudden stop or upon impact. The AMT variants now gets a Traffic Assist feature, which helps the vehicle to crawl forward in slow moving traffic and also prevents it from rolling back on slopes. This feature is available in almost all AMT’s present in India (Tata calls it Creep Function, different moniker’s by different manufacturers).

Equipment levels have also been tweaked across variants, RXL variant gets additional upgrades like Front Power window, Remote Central Locking whereas the RXT(O) variant get Rear 12V socket and stylised chrome near the gear knob. The KWID Climber gets the similar upgradations with an additional Rear Arm rest for extra comfort and convenience. In terms of design updates, not many changes have been made, except for a new razor edge chrome front grille at the front.
