Renault Kwid EV Snapped In India Again: All About Tiago EV Rival
The growing electric vehicle market in India has a climbing growth graph, with manufacturers introducing multiple new products. The latest participant in the race is likely to be Renault with the introduction of the Kwid EV in the country. Once launched, the car will compete against rivals like Comet EV and Tiago EV. In the latest update, the Kwid EV has been spotted in India, covered in camouflage on a flatbed. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time the Kwid EV has been seen in the country. The car was spotted by an enthusiast earlier in August last year. Unlike this time, the previously spotted unit had no camouflage. This time around, the camouflage hides most of the details, revealing only the design of the taillamp. This is a Y-shaped design. Another important detail is the presence of steel wheels on the unit.
