After JSW-MG, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan, Renault India has also announced a price hike of up to 2% across its car lineup starting 1 January 2026. The French automaker currently sells Kwid, Triber and Kiger in the Indian market.
The company said the decision was taken due to rising input costs and fluctuating currency exchange rates. However, Renault added that benefits from GST 2.0 reforms will help keep its cars competitively priced compared to rivals like Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors.
Renault clarified that customers who book or purchase a car on or before 31 December 2025 will continue to get the old prices. Revised prices will apply only from January 2026 and will be based on Delhi ex-showroom rates.
Expected New Prices After Hike
- Renault Kwid:
Current price: ₹4.30 lakh – ₹5.88 lakh
Expected price: ₹4.38 lakh – ₹6.00 lakh - Renault Triber:
Current price: ₹5.76 lakh – ₹8.39 lakh
Expected price: ₹5.88 lakh – ₹8.55 lakh - Renault Kiger:
Current price: ₹5.76 lakh – ₹10.34 lakh
Expected price: ₹5.88 lakh – ₹10.54 lakh

Two New SUVs Coming in 2026
Renault is also gearing up for a major product expansion in India. The company plans to launch two new SUVs in 2026, including the much-awaited next-generation Duster, expected to arrive by mid-2026. A 7-seater version of the Duster is also likely to debut toward the end of the year.
Both models are expected to feature a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine producing around 156 hp. Pricing is expected to range between ₹10 lakh and ₹20 lakh, placing them in competition with models like the Hyundai Creta, Tata Harrier, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder.
What This Means for Buyers
With rising input costs across the auto industry, Renault’s price revision aligns with broader market trends. However, buyers planning to purchase before 31 December 2025 can still benefit from current prices and GST-related savings.
