Renault Kwid Sets ARS 25.54 Million Floor in January Ranking of Argentina’s Cheapest New Cars

Average prices in the entry-level segment barely shifted, rising 0.8%, with a new duty‑free quota enabling a Chinese EV to enter the ranking.

Overview

  • LA NACION’s January survey places the Renault Kwid first at ARS 25,540,000 after a 3.7% month‑to‑month price cut.
  • Across the ten cheapest models, the average price variation was 0.8%, reflecting a mix of small increases, flat listings, and one decrease.
  • Fiat Mobi climbed to second at ARS 27,070,000, while Hyundai HB20 moved to third at ARS 27,600,000.
  • Two Chinese-origin models feature among the most affordable: the JMEV Easy 3 at US$18,900 and the JAC S2 at US$19,900, both unchanged in January.
  • The JMEV Easy 3, imported by Grupo Antelo, entered under the first duty‑free quota for electrified vehicles, avoiding the 35% extrazona tariff.
