Adding another variation to its stylish Kwid, Renault launched its Kwid Climber at Rs 4.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Based on the regular RXT (O) variant, the Kwid Climber features new front bumper overriders and faux skid plates, outside rear-view mirrors and roof rails - all with orange highlights.

The interior too features a lot of orange bits at most places like the 'Orange Energy' upholstery with 'Climber' embossed on the headrests, door appliques, steering wheel with orange perforations and engraved 'Climber' insignia.

With the addition of the Easy-R AMT, the Kwid Climber definitely adds more convenience with hassle free driving in jam-packed city traffic.
