Renault’s Big EV Bet: Kwid EV Spotted Testing, India Launch Soon Renault is gearing up to shake up the entry-level electric car segment. A camouflaged test mule of the much-awaited Renault Kwid EV was recently spotted on Indian roads near Chennai airport, signalling that its launch might be closer than we think. If Renault gets the pricing right, this could make city-friendly electric mobility far more accessible for first-time EV buyers. What makes the Kwid EV one to watch? * Proven global base Adapted from the Dacia Spring EV that is already on sale in Europe and Brazil — tested, trusted, and now ready for Indian conditions. * Practical urban range A 26.8 kWh battery pack delivering an estimated 220 to 225 km range — ideal for daily city commutes and short getaways. * Familiar yet fresh design Spy shots hint at Y-shaped LED tail-lights, rear wiper, steel wheels and a compact urban silhouette. * City-friendly performance Two motor options — around 44 bhp for the base variant and 64 bhp for higher trims, with a top speed near 125 kmph. * Fast-charging on a budget Supports up to 30 kW DC fast charging — 20 to 80 percent top-up in roughly 45 minutes. * Targeted rivals Likely to compete directly with the MG Comet EV, Tata Tiago.ev and Citroen eC3 — with an expected price range of around 7 to 9 lakh rupees. * Safety and features Expected to offer a 10 inch touchscreen, 7 inch digital cluster, E-shifter, and up to six airbags — matching modern safety and tech expectations. The bigger picture Renault’s move could be a game-changer in India’s evolving EV market, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where affordability is key. If they manage aggressive localisation and build a strong service network, the Kwid EV could set the tone for mass adoption in the budget EV segment. What is your take — can a well-priced Kwid EV finally bridge the gap for first-time EV buyers in India?
