Cars like the new Logan, the Logan MCV, the Dacia Sandero and the Sandero Stepway will be some of the first models to get the Easy-R gearbox in European markets. An automatic gearbox version of the Renault Kwid is also in the works and will follow the launch of the standard MT Renault Kwid in India. The car will feature an innovative rotary knob on the centre console for the gearbox. This also means that the option of manual shifting will be eradicated completely, which is conventionally seen in other AMT offerings from Maruti and Tata. Renault Kwid Price is expected to fall under the Rs. 3 to 5 lac bracket.
