The Renault Kwid Electric Car
That’s where the 2023 Renault Kwid electric car comes into the picture. Its purpose? To bring a level of style and class to the entry level EV sector.
Even though an electric version of the Kwid is available in China, so far there haven’t been any other releases of this EV in other countries. So what should we expect in terms of power and pricing options?
Will the Kwid EV be as powerful as the gas-powered Kwid?
EVs usually have more impressive powertrains, but then again, the Renault Kwid electric car will be based on the existing Kwid, which is anything but powerful. The current Renault Kwid has two engine options, offering a meager 55 hp and 67 hp, respectively. Don’t be too disappointed, though—power isn’t really part of the Renault Kwid’s appeal.
It’s a compact car, designed to be affordable and driveable in tight urban spaces. The EV version already being sold in China offers a battery range of 183 miles, which, depending on the car’s intended use, could be enough range for many people.
However, for many others—especially Americans with higher battery range standards—the Renault Kwid would likely be unappealing. Since Renault no longer sells models in the U.S., we may never know.
Which countries will the Renault Kwid electric car be available in?
So far, Renault is focusing on expanding its EV models into markets in India over the next two years and is already selling EVs in China.
