R 311 049 for a Kwid... They must be mental
So NO mention AT ALL of what the actual 'Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition' trim package actually entails?Renault Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition (2026) Price & Specs
The Renault Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition has arrived in South Africa to mark a decade of the budget-car nameplate in Mzansi. Here’s what it costs…
- Limited Edition marks 10 years of Kwid
- Package commands circa-R10k premium
- Available in 5MT and automated manual
Back in 2016, the Indian-built Renault Kwid budget hatchback launched in South Africa. Now, a decade and well over 70 000 sales later, the French firm’s local importer has rolled out the Renault Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition (to use its full, rather lengthy name).
As the wordy moniker suggests, this model was conceived to celebrate 10 years of the Kwid nameplate. And, thanks to the ever-alert vehicle-information specialists over at duoporta.com, we now know how much this anniversary model costs in Mzansi.
Available in both 5-speed manual and 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) guise, the 10th Anniversary Limited Edition package appears to be based on the mid-tier Techno grade. It’s not yet clear how many units have been set aside for South Africa.
So, what about pricing? Well, the Kwid 1.0 10th Anniversary Limited Edition 5MT is priced at R209 799, while the 5AMT version comes in at R219 999, representing premiums (over the Techno equivalent) of R9 800 and R10 000, respectively.

Released in India in 2025, the limited-edition package includes new “Shadow Grey” and “Fiery Red” exterior paint colours, each matched with a black-finished roof as standard. The special edition also features black “Flex Wheel” covers (on its 14-inch wheels) and anniversary decals on the doors and C-pillar. A yellow grille insert furthermore helps to set this model apart.So NO mention AT ALL of what the actual 'Kwid 10th Anniversary Limited Edition' trim package actually entails?
Is it a few extra lurid interior embellishments, a garish sticker pack on the exterior, or a combination of both?

there is a 800 or 900cc option available in India also, so we didn't exactly get the absolute bottom of the barrelSo, just more 'lipstick on the pig' again - and STILL with the puny & anemic 1.0 litre 3-cylinder NA petrol engine - that's a REAL 'Speed Demon' up on the Highveld - you measure its 0-100 km/h times with a calendar...![]()

Renault has launched the 2026 edition of its entry-level hatchback, the Kwid. It is available in two trims: Evolution and Climber, with prices starting at Rs 4.53 lakh (ex-showroom).
Interestingly, the new Kwid costs Rs 13,000 to Rs 38,000 less than the outgoing version.
The new Kwid gets minor cosmetic changes on the outside, which include new 3D Renault badges, redesigned two-tone wheel caps, and the ‘Kwid’ badge on the tailgate now has a new font.
The halogen headlights and LED DRLs have been carried over from the old version.
Inside, the car comes with a new 3-spoke steering wheel. It has a semi-digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen offering wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Other features include 6 airbags (Climber), a rearview camera, TPMS, hill start assist (AMT only), keyless entry, and ABS with EBD.
The new Renault Kwid is powered by the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that produces 68 BHP and 92.5 Nm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT.
2026 Renault Kwid ex-showroom prices:
- Evolution MT – Rs 4.53 lakh
- Evolution AMT – Rs 4.90 lakh
- Climber MT – Rs 5.15 lakh
- Climber AMT – Rs 5.61 lakh
In a shrinking segment, one car customers have practically forgotten is the Renault Kwid. To make it relevant once again, Renault has shortened the variant lineup and slashed prices, making its hatchback more accessible.
In this video, Amaan Ahmed asks if this is enough to revive the Kwid's fortunes in 2026.
In conversation with Gavin D'Souza , Francisco Hidalgo - Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Renault India - discusses the refreshed Renault Kwid, the importance of affordable entry-level cars in India, and why Renault believes there is still strong demand from first-time car buyers.
