“In the post lockdown scenario, there may be a considerable demand shift from public transport to customers considering the mini car segment, due to the new normal norms anticipated. In the context of the current situation, a car provides an even more secure environment for family travel and KWID being a very successful product with a strong customer base, may see strong customer preference. Hence, we are making our products and financial offerings even more accessible to new car aspirers,” added Mr. Mamillapalle.
Renault KWID has proved its mettle at a time when the mini car segment was the toughest and most competitive segment. This was largely possible because of the years of research and deep insights that Renault invested in understanding the changing customer preferences. Basis customer research, Renault introduced a SUV-inspired design language, segment first features, industry-first innovations and manufactured the car at high localization levels.
Within one year of its launch in India, Renault begun to export the Make in India KWID to various global markets. Renault has exported more than 45,300 units of the ‘Make In India’ KWID from India.
