Having the “cheapest car on the market” sign implies that many people You will have it as an option when buying a 0 km. That is the condition with which the Renault Kwid returned to Argentina, a model that was already in a similar situation and showed that it did very well in the past.
Imported from Brazil, the KWID was one of the best -selling models in the country between 2017 and until it was discontinued in October 2021, due to availability problems generated by import restriction. At that stage more than 45 thousand units were sold.

This is the Renault Kwid 2025, the cheapest car in the country
The return of the Renault Kwid will allow you to give presence to the brand in The dismantled segment of the city carsthat until a few years ago it was made up of Fiat Mobi (only survivor), Ford Ka, Nissan March, Toyota Etios and Volkswagen Up!.
During his absence in the country, the Kwid was renewed and changed its appearance a bit and improved its equipment. A first approach was the launch of the Kwid E-Tech, the electric version that advanced those changes.
And among the most prominent incorporations appears the Electronic Stability Controlmandatory since 2022, which concerns one of the items that at one time was questioned of this model: security.
Redesigned and with more equipment
Before the arrival of the KWID, in 2017, the security section generated some doubts, since until that moment the results of the shock tests carried out until then on the model that was manufactured in India had been disastrous. For its production in Brazil, the brand claimed to have made great modifications: 80% of new pieces specially developed for the region and other structural reinforcements.
The shock tests that were made about that regional model did not reach 5 stars (maximum qualification granted by Latincap, an entity that evaluates the protection of vehicles sold in the region), but reached 3 stars.
The most notorious changes in the new Kwid aesthetics are on the front, where new headlights looks (divided into two groups), grill and bumpers. The rest retains that attractive silhouette that, without being a SUV, uses some resources to generate a similar idea: the black plastics that cover the fenders or the bands of the same color that cross the doors of each side fulfill that mission. Now the roof and the parantes are also painted black.
The new Renault Kwid does not include structural changes.Inside there are some changes with respect to the version that was known here. The first and most noticeable is the instrument board, which is now digital. But it is not a screen with modern and configurable graphics; Instead, there is a central monochromatic display for speedometer and information on the on -board computerand a design of small panels that are illuminated for the account and the temperature and level of fuel level in deposit.
The upholstery is also new, with seams and embroidery that give it a touch of design, and the multimedia plant is a bit larger (8 “). Now the USB port (2.0) is in the lower part of the central console and not Next to the screen, which emprolls connectivity.
The space it offers is what is expected in a model of a little more than 3.6 meters long: there is no place to stand out that A 1.85 meter driver can use it without problems. Of course, two adults are already a crowd in the rear seats, especially for leg space.
Few developments inside the Renault Kwid.The ability of the trunk is correct and includes a help wheel of the same size as the “headlines”, only with sheet tire. By the way, the design of Bitono diamond tires is also new.
Mechanically there are no changes with respect to the model that was known here. Keep the engine 1.0 liter of 66 horsepower and 93 nm of torque. While it is a very used configuration now, low displacement and 3 cylinders, it does not have feeding, because it must be taken to the engine above 2,500/3,000 rpm to have a quick response.
Understanding that, it is very agility in urban transit and it is very much enjoyed to handle it in that area thanks to its maneuvering capacity. It accompanies the gearbox well, with a selector that moves cleanly although with long tours.
The Renault Kwid board is now digital, with monochromatic screen and white, blue and red panels.Soft suspensions and high soil clearance They also favor not punishing as cobbled or unpurious surfacesdespite the poor soundproofing that does let all kinds of noise filter.
As a counterpart, it shows marked body inclinations when folding in closed curves but without compromising the trajectory. And the noises also manifest: at 100 km/h the engine works at 3,200 rpm and 120 km/h rises to 4,000 rpm.
A detail that we had warned in 2017 and we did not notice now was a general vibration that transmitted during an intense braking, which did not compromise optimal detention but was annoying. That feeling disappeared In this new model.
There are new upholstery for the Renault Kwid.Its price of $ 18.260.000 It makes it the cheapest car 0 km on the market, even more than the Fiat Mobi ($ 19,373,000). And while it is true that there are 4 million compared to larger models such as a Hyundai HB20 or a Toyota Yaris, that may be the difference between buying a 0 km or not. The Kwid fulfills its most economical car role without pretensions and effectively.
