Renault Kwid E‑Tech Reportedly Fading From Brazil as Stock Dries Up

Dealer evidence suggests an import pause that signals a showroom pivot to the Geely EX2.

Overview

  • Dealers report empty inventories, no clear delivery dates, and reluctance to place new orders for the Kwid E‑Tech.
  • The model still appears on Renault’s site at R$99,990, yet units are hard to find in stores.
  • Renault has not announced a discontinuation, though reporting points to paused imports reinforced by low sales.
  • Showrooms are giving more space to the Geely EX2, which reflects a shift in Renault’s electrified lineup focus.
  • The price cut widened interest for city use, but limited range, planned charging needs, and tight cargo keep it a niche urban choice as the gasoline Kwid remains the entry-level staple.
