Renault Quid 2021: compact subcompact hatchback.
Taking into account the increased consumer interest in cars of an affordable price segment, Renault has developed a new version of the popular off-road hatchback, which will be released under the name Renault Quid 2021.

the nominal difference in the angles of the dynamic inclination of the windshield and the short bonnet decorated with wave longitudinal reliefs;
bright brand logo and horizontal slats of the compact radiator cladding;
interesting design of blocks of budget halogen optics.

The basic configuration of the protruding bumper, supplemented with ribbed reliefs, is a plastic grille of the lower air intake and a set of round fog lamps integrated into the side diffusers. A compact body kit completes the front end layout.

No less interesting is the new Renault Quid 2021 in profile projection. In sight: decorative domed roof rails, massive perimeter and wide side window pillars, modern mirrors and recessed door handles.

The structural and layout features of the body also include square wheel arches, a massive protective and decorative sill strip and a multi-leaf design of black wheels.

The fact that the hatch belongs to the category of off-road vehicles is confirmed by the high seating position, compact overhangs and the presence of a protective plastic «skirt» on the lower edge of the body.

oval configuration of the rear glass, complemented by a spoiler;
stepped cross-sections of the trunk lid;
a set of multifunctional flashlights.

Most of the central tunnel is dedicated to a container for small luggage. The rest of the volume is occupied by technical and electronic options presented in the optimal amount for a budget employee.

A good impression is left by the layout of the front seats equipped with lateral support and mechanical settings.

The five-seater layout of the cabin volume should be considered conditional, since there is enough space on the rear three-seater sofa for two adult riders. In the top version, heating and a folding armrest are promised.
