2022 Renault Kwid hatchback: New TVC released

Renault India recently launched the 2022 Kwid hatchback in India. Renault Kwid was first launched back in 2015 and ever since then it has been a popular choice among small family car buyers. Renault Kwid is actually one of the product that popularised Renault brand name in India. Renault Kwid became popular among buyers for its muscular looks and features like touchscreen infotainment system that was not offered with other cars in the segment at that time. Renault has now launched a new TVC for the 2022 Kwid.

The video has been shared by Renault India on their YouTube channel. The video showcases all the things that makes Renault Kwid suitable for a country like India. It is a small hatchback and in this video, the actor is seen driving the car through narrow and congested roads that one faces on a day-to-day basis. The Renault Kwid moves through those narrow lanes effortlessly because of its size. The actor is also seen driving the Kwid on bad road surfaces. Kwid offers decent amount of ground clearance which comes in handy while driving through bad roads. The reverse parking camera feature available with the Kwid is also shown in the video.
