Associated Motorways (Pvt.) Ltd (AMW) has introduced yet another product of French automotive brand Renault to the local market by introducing Kwid AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) 1000cc.
It expects to give the convenience of automatic transmission to
the customers.
The car was unveiled by Telecommunication and Digital Infrastructure Minister Harin Fernando and Associated Motorways Managing Director Samantha Rajapaksa at the motor show exhibition held last Friday at the BMICH.
“This was a long awaited car, of which we already had the manual transmission. So now the AMT is out on the 1000cc segment. There has been very high demand for this car, as a lot of people were waiting to get it,” AMW Deputy General Manager Yasantha Wijeysekera told Mirror Business.
“It has an automatic shift gear, also touch screen display, bluetooth feature, front power shutter, central locking, very good interior space, very good ground clearance,” he said.
To make driving effortless, he said that the AMT dial has three modes - the reverse, neutral and the drive. “So you just have to turn it to whatever the position,” he said.
“If you look from front it has a good appearance, it got the SUV look. There are five colours, cars are not
highly priced,
People love these kinds of vehicles, it is a small car. You can go outstation, people can go anywhere without any problem,” he said.
“In the shipment we have brought in 170 cars. Bookings are open from now onwards,” he said. He also noted that more than 3,000 Renault units had been sold in Sri Lanka since
its launch.
“In India, sales have boomed. Sri Lanka is one of the first export markets for Renault. We are one of the firsts to get it out of India,” he added.
He said that they are looking forward to introduce more products to Sri Lanka as it comes to the market.
The cars will be priced Rs. 2,750,000 onwards.
The Renault Kwid is an entry-level crossover, initially intended for the Indian market.
Renault brand, which has a history of 118 years in the automotive industry, was unveiled in Sri Lanka by AMW in 2016 June, with the launch of two of its flagship products Renault Kwid and Renault Duster.
