New Delhi, February 3, 2016: Since its launch last autumn, the KWID has hit the ground running in India. At the 2016New Delhi Auto Show, Renault is taking the wraps off two show cars, namely Renault KWID Climber and RenaultKWID Racer. While the former is bred for venturing away from the beaten track, the latter is more at home on theasphalt of race circuits, providing still more evidence of the potential of this unique model.
RENAULT KWID CLIMBER
Renault KWID Climber stands tall as an offroader. With its high ground clearance, wide track, short overhangs andthe specially designed pattern of its tyres, this car is built for adventure off the beaten track. It has all the qualities of anoffroader, including a compact footprint, high ground clearance, big bumpers, side protective mouldings, andgenerous, diamondeffect wheels. Its deep Flame Orange finish underscores the sculpted lines of the body.
The wheel arch extensions are highlighted in electric blue. This draws attention to the robust features which havebecome the Renault KWID’s hallmark. The special protective housings of the car’s lights heighten its allterrain feel. Aborn offroader, the Climber draws on the DNA of the Renault KWID to develop its SUV capability to the extreme. Theresult is a very distinctive personality which suits all types of adventure.
RENAULT KWID RACER
Renault KWID Racer belongs to an entirely different category of car and conjures up the world of racing, with 18inchalloy wheels, lowprofile tyres, honed aerodynamics, bucket seats and a roll cage. It boasts of a sporty metallic bluefinish. Its wide air intakes are suggestive of performance, while the spoilers and diffuser guarantee outstandinghandling. The Cshaped LED lighting signature and the hightech treatment of the lights signal that the Renault KWIDRacer is clearly in tune with Renault’s new design strategy.
The inside of the car features materials like Alcantara, aluminium and carbon. The Titane Black trim is emphasised bytouches of anodised red that is suggestive of the world of motor racing.The totem console in the centre of the dashboard displays the telemetry data so the driver can track his or herperformance in real time.
Tightly strapped into a fourpoint harness in the bucket seat, the driver benefits from a digital rev counter and a leathertrimmed steering wheel which boasts an alloy frame specially designed for racing.
Both the show cars are two distinct cars, which complement each other perfectly.
Laurens Van Den Acker, Senior Vice President, Corporate Design , who was present at the unveil, shared, “At firstglance, Renault KWID blends an emotional design with the need for reassurance expressed by customers. Its SUVlines mirror its tough, robust character and underpin its distinctive, modern look. Both of the show cars are based onthe Renault KWID platform. The front end is distinctive and immediately recognisable as a Renault. The wheel archesare generous and the unique body colours bear design touches common to both vehicles.”

Renault presents its brand new 1.0 litre engine with an optimized design for better performance that it plans to launch.This high technology engine offers excellent drivability, be it slick city streets or out in the open highway.
