Expected to be priced between Rs 3 lakh – Rs 5 lakh, the Renault ‘LBC’ Kwid compact sedan might undercut its rivals – Maruti Swift Dzire and Honda Amaze.

Launched in September 2015, the Renault Kwid has proven to be a triumph card for the French carmaker. In order to further increase its sales, Renault will introduce two new variants of the Kwid – 1000cc and AMT – during this festive season. Besides these variants, the carmaker is also working on a sub-compact sedan and SUV that will be based on the Kwid’s CMF-A modular platform. Codenamed ‘LBC’, the Renault Kwid compact sedan will compete against Maruti Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze and others in the segment.

The new sub-compact Kwid saloon will share resemblance with the Kwid hatchback, especially the front fascia. The major difference will be the addition of the third box after the C-pillar.
