- Renault City K-ZE – Upcoming

Renault showcased the all-electric sibling of the Kwid at Auto Expo 2020. Called the Renault K-ZE, the EV is based on the same CMF-A platform as the Kwid, albeit with a few modifications to accommodate batteries and an electric motor.
It is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor producing 44PS and 125Nm, with a top speed of 105kmph. The electric motor is juiced up by a 26.8kWh battery pack, with an NEDC claimed range of 270km. There is also an option for a ‘fast charge’ that can power up the batteries from 0 percent to 80 percent in 30 minutes. In the regular charge mode, the batteries take 4 hours to charge to the full capacity.
The carmaker plans to launch the K-ZE by 2022 as it awaits a better charging infrastructure in the country. Once launched, it will take on the likes of the upcoming XL5 EV from Maruti Suzuki as well as the Mahindra eKUV100.
