Hi guys, I own 2 cars i.e. a kwid & an elite i20 & i use my kwid for daily usage, so today I will be sharing my opinion about the kwid with you all.

I bought my Kwid RXT AMT in December and got it delivered on Jan after the waiting period. Till now i have driven almost 1950 km all around the city and i am from chennai. Pretty much impressed with the performance so far. I got my first service done too in month of March. The overall City Mileage clocks close to 15 kmpl with AC ON now. AC set to 2 points. I got Decent Cooling. Space inside the car seated 3 medium built people at back with relative ease. Just got my reading done yesterday only. read more 18
Yesterday I went to a Renault showroom to test-ride Kwid. I was already impressed by the looks of the car. I have always loved SUVs and the high stance of Kwid gives you that feel. Renault is making the product better by offering alloy wheels in coming months. Then I drove the vehicle and it did not disappoint me. I could feel the punch in the car which was missing in the Alto 800 and Eon. The power figures are completely justified. There is enough torque for a petrol mill so that is another plu read more 360
A small car makes total sense for India. They are practical for the jam-packed roads that we encounter, repairs are affordable in case of the unfortunate scruff and they are quite reliable in the long run. Needless to say, these factors make hatchbacks account for maximum volume of car sales in India. For a very long time now, Maruti’s offering, the Alto has been the undisputed king of the segment. Cars such as the Hyundai Eon, Tata Nano and Datsun Go have tried hard to displace the Alto. All they’ve been able to do is scratch the surface.
Renault is fairly confident that the Kwid can be ‘The One’. Does it have what it takes to overturn a dictatorship? We find out!
Things We Like in KWID
1.0-litre engine is peppy. Optional AMT is a boon inside the city.
Boot space is a humongous 300-litres (Alto = 177-litres)
Spacious cabin compared to contemporaries, can seat four adults comfortably.
SUV inspired styling. The cladding and muscular elements makes it look like nothing else in the segment.
Things We Don't Like in KWID
The engine is noisy and vibrations unpalatable.
ABS option not available even on the top-end variant.
Interiors reek of cost cutting. Quality of materials could have been better.
Best suited for city use alone. Runs out of breath on the highway.
Stand Out Features
Touch Screen MediaNav system is the Best in class.
Digital Instrument Cluster is funky with a host of read outs that have never before been seen on in the segment. Shows distance to empty average & and real-time fuel consumption too!
CarDekho Verdict
The Kwid is amongst the best options in the segment. As an overall package, it provides distinctive styling, good driving performance and a good list of accessories. It also beats its competitors in terms of interior space and fuel economy.
"The KWIDs SUV inspired styling is sure to win your heart. The well equipped interior is the cherry on the cake."
The only thing that Renault needs to do is provide exceptional service and after-sales service and be able to put up with the demand. Maruti Suzuki Alto, you have finally met your match!
