Renault’s budget-busting Kwid has experienced great success in the local market since its introduction almost a year ago with more than 6 000 units finding homes in SA and claims a sizable 11.5% share of the entry-level segment Now, to celebrate the Kwid’s success, Renault is offering a limited edition Kwid Xtreme in South Africa that will be available in limited numbers. Herewith the details.
The Kwid Xtreme benefits from a number of additional styling features as well as rear park distance control.
The Kwid Xtreme is powered by a 50 kW / 91 Nm 1.0-litre engine and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Based on the Kwid Dynamique, the limited edition Kwid Xtreme features an exterior styling pack that includes chrome accents seen on the grille, fog light surrounds, front bumper and on the tailgate. Bumper protection is fitted to minimise scuffs and scrapes.
The interior highlight is the 7-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and special red-detailed seat covers.
The Kwid Xtreme is also fitted with black roof rails, black plastic mud flaps and rides on 14-inch alloy wheels. Decals further add to the look of the Kwid Xtreme. In addition to the standard features offered by the Kwid Dynamique derivative, the Kwid Xtreme is fitted with rear park distance control as well as a Lock-On Drive system that automatically locks the doors at 20 kph for added security.
Key standard features include air conditioning, electric front windows and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Bluetooth functionality. The load bay offers 300-litres of space and Kwid has a useful ground clearance of 180mm.
