As Renault continues expanding its footprint in the low-cost passenger car segment, the company has launched the Renault Kwid as its most-affordable car in Kenya. The new Renault Kwid is priced from KSH 1,234,567 (INR 8.18 lakhs) in Kenya and is the company's only A-segment car currently available in the country.
