2022 Maruti S-Presso vs Renault Kwid: Specs, price and features comparison
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso has been doing fairly well in the Indian market since it was first launched back in 2019. This is because of the SUV-like design traits, comparatively affordable price point and a relatively feature-packed cabin. But S-Presso continues to face off against another solid contender in the market in the form of Renault Kwid. The hatchback went on sale in India back in 2015 and was given a major facelift in 2019 and then this year, a mild refresh was given. Here is a quick comparison between the S-Presso and the Kwid.

The price of the 2022 S-Presso starts at Rs. 4.25 lakhs and goes up to Rs. 5.99 lakhs. When compared, the Kwid's price starts at Rs. 4.64 lakhs and the top-end variant is priced at Rs. 5.99 lakhs. All the prices are ex-showroom. So, the price of the S-Presso's base variant is cheaper by Rs. 39,000. However, the top-end of both the vehicles is priced at the same rate.

Additionally, Kwid comes with all four power windows, LED tail lamps, LED Daytime Running Lamps and a rear parking camera.
