Renault India Set to Launch First Domestically Produced Electric Car
Renault India is gearing up to introduce its first domestically produced electric car, with a possible launch date set for late 2024 or early 2025. Based on the popular Kwid model, the electric car is expected to be priced under Rs 10 lakh, making it an attractive option for consumers looking to make the switch to electric vehicles.
In addition to the electric car, Renault has plans to roll out updated models of the Tribar, Kwid, and Giger in 2024, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
The Kwid electric car will be built on the CMF-A EV platform, specifically designed for the compact hatchback market. The vehicle will feature various design improvements tailored to electric vehicles, offering both style and functionality.
One of the most exciting aspects of the new electric car is its competitive pricing, with up to 60% of the components being sourced locally. This move not only supports the local economy but also positions the electric car as an affordable and accessible option for Indian consumers.
The European version of the Kwid EV boasts 44hp of power and 125Nm of torque, with a 26.8kWh battery pack. It is speculated that the Indian market may see a similar battery pack or possibly one with additional capacity, providing a range of up to 350km. This impressive range will undoubtedly appeal to those concerned about the practicality of electric vehicles for everyday use.
Furthermore, Renault’s alliance with Nissan will see the introduction of an electric car based on the same model, offering even more choice for consumers interested in sustainable transportation options.
Looking ahead, Renault has also announced plans to launch the 2025 Renault Duster and a 7-seater Jacker, further expanding its electric vehicle lineup. These developments signal Renault’s commitment to investing in and promoting sustainable mobility solutions in India and beyond.
With the upcoming launch of its domestically produced electric car, Renault is poised to make a significant impact on the electric vehicle market in India, catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation options.
