Renault Kwid On-Road Price in Pune

People in Pune ask this because Maharashtra tax adds up. The honest answer is no. If you live and work here, say near Hinjewadi, the Kwid must be registered in Pune. Register it elsewhere and once it stays past about a year, you must re-register in Maharashtra and pay again.

The Kwid runs a 1.0 litre petrol making 69 PS, which is fine for city speeds and relaxed expressway cruising. On the Pune-Mumbai Expressway it will hold highway pace, but plan your overtakes with a full car. It is a light city hatch, not a quick mile-muncher, so drive it calmly.

Pune follows the Maharashtra rate, about 11 percent for cars up to 10 lakh, so the whole Kwid range sits in one band. It is the same tax a Mumbai buyer pays. On an affordable hatch the rupee amount is modest. Set it aside above the ex-showroom figure.

If your day is spent in Pune's thickening traffic around Shivajinagar or Kothrud, the AMT helps. The Evolution AMT and Climber AMT shift on their own, easing the constant clutch work. On the city's gentle climbs the automatic copes fine. For mostly open roads, the manual is lighter on the wallet.

The Kwid is the cheapest new Renault, which makes it a natural first car. The Evolution MT is the lowest priced start and still gives you the 8 inch touchscreen with Android Auto. If your budget stretches, the Climber MT adds six airbags and a rear camera, which is worth it for the extra peace of mind.
