Renault has rolled out a special edition of its popular entry-level hatchback to mark ten years of the Kwid in India. Called the Kwid 10th Anniversary Edition, it is priced between ₹5.14 lakh and ₹5.63 lakh (ex-showroom) and will be limited to just 500 units. The Kwid has been one of the key models for Renault in the Indian market since its launch in 2015, known for affordability. This anniversary edition has been introduced to celebrate the model’s milestone and offer buyers a more distinctive version of the hatchback.
Design & Feature Updates
The anniversary edition is based on the mid-spec Techno trim. It brings subtle changes such as yellow accent on the grille, new decals on the doors and C-pillar and new gloss-black wheel options. It gets two dual-tone colours, Fiery Red with Black Roof and the new Shadow Grey with Black Roof. Inside the cabin, the car features a new leather-wrapped steering with yellow-contrast stitching. Yellow accents are also present around the infotainment screen, on the seats, and on the door pads. The front seat headrests feature 10th Anniversary Edition logos. Renault has also included puddle lamps and illuminated scuff plates in the Kwid Anniversary Edition.
Pricing & Positioning
With a price range of ₹5.14 lakh to ₹5.63 lakh, the 10th Anniversary Edition sits close to the mid variants of the standard Kwid. Its limited production run of 500 units adds to its appeal. The pricing also keeps it competitive within the small hatchback space, where affordability continues to be a key factor for buyers.
Here’s a look at the updated pricelist of the Renault Kwid, including the new Anniversary Edition variants:

Engine & Mechanical Setup
Renault has kept the mechanical setup unchanged for the Kwid 10th Anniversary Edition. The hatchback continues to be powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 67 HP and 91 NM of torque. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed AMT. This ensures that while the special edition looks slightly different, it retains the same fuel efficiency and performance that regular Kwid owners are familiar with.
Renault has also made safety improvements across the Kwid lineup. All variants now come with 3-point seatbelts for every seat, while the top-spec Climber variant gets six airbags.
Conclusion
The launch of the 10th Anniversary Edition highlights the significance of the Kwid in Renault’s India journey. Over the past decade, the hatchback has helped the brand strengthen its foothold in the budget-friendly segment. By introducing this limited edition, Renault is both celebrating the Kwid’s milestone and potentially testing how special variants can boost interest in models. This special edition underlines the role the Kwid has played in Renault’s success in India.
