Thank you to BHPian RavenAvi for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!

Renault will soon be launching yet another variant under its Kwid line-up, this time with an AMT. The automaker had recently released a teaser image of the Kwid AMT, suggesting that the launch is just around the corner. Now, some sources within the company have suggested that the Kwid will likely be priced from Rs. 4.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The AMT gearbox on the Kwid will be offered with the 1.0-litre engine, which was introduced in August this year. This three-cylinder SCe petrol unit develops 67 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm. The Kwid 1.0 AMT will be offered in two trim levels: RXT and RXT (O).

According to Renault sources, the Easy-R RXT 1.0 variant will be priced at Rs. 4.29 lakh, while the top-end Easy-R RXT (O) 1.0 variant will likely cost Rs. 4.42 lakh. This suggests a premium of around Rs. 46,000 on the AMT variants, as compared to their manual counterparts.

Bookings for the Kwid AMT have already started across all Renault dealers in the country for a token amount of Rs. 10,000. The car is expected to be officially launched in India in the second week of November.
