Renault Kwid Superhero Edition has been launched in India from INR 4.32 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Buyers can only have this limited edition model with 1.0L engine and that too above the RxT (O) trim. This leaves the Superhero Edition limited to just two trim levels with two different gearbox options.
Renault is charging INR 29,900 over the actual price of respective variants. As seen in Marvel universe, Renault has offered the edition with Captain America and Iron Man theme, both of which were once seen as rivals in Captain America: Civil War.
Buyers now have a choice of choosing their favorite superhero as Iron Man Edition comes with Red center console while Captain America Edition gets Blue in the same place. Bookings for the car are now open for INR 9,999. Iron Man Edition is exclusively available in Red and further contrast is created through gold inserts in front grille, lower half and headlamps.
Captain America Edition is exclusively offered in White with Red inserts in same places and a special shield sticker on its bonnet. Both these variants are offered with 13 inch alloy wheels from the earlier launched KWID Climber Edition.
Kwid Superhero Edition comes with standard 7.0 inch navigation unit. Renault has partnership with Disney (parent brand for Marvel) and thus, we can expect more special editions for other cars with different upcoming movies. The deliveries for Kwid Superhero Edition will start after the release of Avengers: Infinity War.
Drive-train on both the variants stay exactly the same as buyers can get their hands on any one from two available gearbox options. 1.0L, 3-cylinder engine from the Kwid is good for 68 HP. It was once among the top selling cars of India but now seems struggling due to rising sales of Maruti Alto.
