Renault India has announced Night and Day Limited Edition of its Kiger, Triber and Kwid. 

The differentiating factor of these editions is their exclusive pearl white colour with mystery black roof. The trim level for the Night and Day Limited Edition models is equivalent of the RXL and RXL (O) trim level in the ‘conventional’ model line-up. 

The company has claimed that the dual tone exterior body colour theme in lower trim level is a first-in-segment and points at an effort to bring style and value-add to the lower variants other than those at the top. 

Other than the dual tone exterior colour theme, the Renault Night and Day Limited Edition of Kiger, Triber and Kwid come with piano black wheel covers, piano black grille inserts, piano black model nameplate, piano black ORVMs (only on Kiger and Triber), piano black tailgate garnish (only on Kiger). 

The cars also get a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone replication and rear-view camera. Additional features include rear power windows on the Triber.

Some 1,600 units of Night and Day Limited Edition cars will be made available. They are priced as follows, 

Triber: INR 700,000 ex showroom (Addition INR 20,000 for Triber RXL Manual Transmission trim)

Kiger: INR 674,990 ex showroom (additional INR 15,000 for Kiger RXL manual) and INR 724,990 ex showroom (additional INR 15,000 on Kiger RXL EASY-R AMT trim)

Kwid: INR 499,500 ex showroom.

Speaking about the development, Venkatram Mamillapalle, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India, mentioned, “This is an exciting announcement not only for our new-age customers, but for our dealers and employees as well. The limited edition allows the customers make a bold statement with the Night and Day Limited Edition, where the three cars will be offered in new pearl white with mystery black roof. This reflects our dedication to crafting wow customer-centric experiences. We are confident that this new limited edition will enable us to welcome more customers to our growing Renault family."
