 Kwid AMT

Renault has unveiled the AMT version of its entry level hatchback, Kwid, at the Auto Expo 2016. The automatic gear shift in this car comes in the form of a circular knob which adds to the uniqueness of the car. Alto K10 offers the same in form of a lever. The car has created ripples in its segment since launch and has received enormous response, majorly because of the dominating SUV stance. It has an impressive infotainment system in the center, unmatched in its class. With the reveal of automatic transmission, the car, upon its launch, is likely to compete with Maruti’s Alto K10 automatic variant. Eon will also take part in the race as it falls in the same category and has been doing decent business for a while.

Yes, Kwid AMT appears to come with all guns loaded with no shots missed. Kwid manual variant has already stunned its competitors in the Indian market. The carmaker is mulling to export the vehicle to Brazil. While the top-end of the car comes for Rs. 3.9 lac (ex-showroom, Mumbai), considering the fact that the engine capacity can be increased (from 0.8L to 1.0L) and AMT being introduced, cost can prove to be a barrier for the automaker. 

Kwid is a entry-level hatch and the customers of this segment enormously care about the price, after all. If Renault is able to keep this factor in check, we don’t think Kwid has got anything to worry about. Even though Alto K10 AMT has got the brand Maruti behind its back, Renault’s offering, as a whole, is just magnificent and looks well-packed to haunt the K10. While Eon offers a good ride quality, absence of automatic transmission will make a substantial difference when compared to the other two cars.
