Renault’s smallest offering in India has an electric cousin in China that has now been launched in France as well
The Kwid EV is known as Dacia Spring in Europe.
It’s available in two variants for personal use.
Offers an overall 230km certified range and a 305km city range.
Prices in Indian currency range between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 16 lakh before government subsidies.
Renault Kwid EV could come to India sometime in 2022.
The Dacia Spring has been launched in France at a price of 16,990 Euros (before government subsidy). Now why are we concerned with a car launch in Europe? Well, the Dacia Spring is essentially the Renault City K-ZE, a.k.a. the Renault Kwid EV, and it has us rather interested. Basically, Dacia is Renault’s sister brand and both companies rebadge each other’s products.

Renault K-ZE Latest Updates
Renault K-ZE is essentially the production version of the Kwid EV, which was revealed at this year’s Auto Expo in February. Before making its India debut, the car was initially revealed at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show in China. The new K-ZE is based on the Kwid’s CMF-A platform. Though the electric version is limited to the Chinese market, it is being evaluated for the other global markets like European. However, the carmaker won’t be launching the EV there any time before 2021.
When compared to the regular Renault Kwid, the City K-ZE electric car undergoes some changes to the underpinnings for housing an electric motor as well as the battery packs. The electric hatch gets a 33-kW motor that is tuned to produce 120 Nm of peak torque. The carmaker also claims that the car can be charged via standard 220V charging port as well as plug charging points.
