Renault Kwid Concept

Renault Kwid Concept

Renault has unveiled its Kwid Concept at the 2014 Delhi Auto Show. The new concept underlines the brands commitment to new markets as well as its ability to produce appealing products in the compact car segment.

The Kwid Concept features a robust, yet fun design, targeted at meeting the needs of young customers in emerging markets.

The vehicle was designed with inputs from Renault Design India and is covered by the 'Explore' petal of Renault's lifecycle-based design strategy. The playfulness of the vehicle's exterior design is offset by a robust appearance due to its protective guards and chunky wings, which exude an impression of strength.

The interior is designed to serve as a snug cocoon and is inspired by a bird's nest. The vehicle's seats, suspended over a solid base in white, give an impression of lightness, while their 2-tone elastomer material provides a sense of brightness.

The dashboard is an integrated tablet for commanding the navigation of the Flying Companion. Aimed at offering a safe as well as fun driving experience, the Flying Companion is the first of its kind in the automotive world. Taking off from the rotating rear portion of the KWID CONCEPT's roof, the Flying Companion can be operated in one of two modes - the automatic mode using a pre-programmed flying sequence and GPS location as well as the manual mode, which enables the companion to be controlled using a tablet inside the vehicle.

The Flying Companion can be used for a variety of purposes, including scouting traffic, taking landscape pictures and detecting obstacles on the road ahead.
