The manufacturer will make the cheapest electric car in Brazil available through Renault on Demand, its subscription program, in plans from 12 to 48 months, thus covering expenses with IPVA, maintenance, and insurance. In the launch presentation, the French manufacturer emphasized the lower maintenance costs compared to the more common versions.

According to the company, for the first three years, the inspections are completely free. The warranty is three years, as with the other configurations, while the factory coverage for the batteries of the electric car is 8 years. The manufacturer also highlighted that the cost per km driven of the Renault Kwid E-Tech is only R$ 0.06, which is a significant advancement compared to R$ 0.48 for the combustion engine version, considering that gasoline has an average price of R$ 7.30/L in Brazil.

In a fast charging station, the vehicle can achieve 190 km of range in just 40 minutes, and when using a 7 kW Wallbox charger, it takes 2 hours and 50 minutes for the Renault Kwid E-Tech to go from 15% to 80% of its charge state.

Additionally, the cheapest electric car in Brazil features ECO mode and regenerative braking, essential items to contribute to reducing energy consumption of these types of vehicles, especially in urban use.

The standard equipment list includes 6 airbags, ABS brakes with Braking Assist System (BRAS), electronic stability control (ESP), rearview camera, hill start assist (HSA), parking sensor, electric steering, Media Evolution multimedia system, among other items.

Details That Make the Kwid E-Tech the Cheapest

The Renault Kwid E-Tech is equipped with the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS), which emits a sound alert to pedestrians until the vehicle reaches 30 km/h.

The manufacturer also highlights that the electric model has the advantage of sharing many components with the combustion version, which contributes to it being the cheapest electric car in Brazil due to reduced maintenance costs. In fact, the first three inspections of the vehicle cost only half the price charged for the Kwid with a flex engine.
