The mini-Duster looks go a long way in making the Kwid stand out. The refreshed face with its split headlamp set up is in keeping with the latest trends while the new LED detailing on the tail lights is a premium touch. On the inside, the new part-digital speedometer and 8.0-inch touchscreen make the cabin look relatively upmarket too. Quality, however, is average and the build is expectantly light. The Kwid does offer fairly good space as far as budget hatchbacks go, though the rear seat is best suited to two passengers. The Kwid's cabin is also well-thought-out and practical while the 270-liter boot is usefully large. Of the engines, the entry-level 54hp, 0.8-liter petrol unit offers very average performance. The manuals clutch and gearbox are light while the 1.0 AMT auto works well as an automatic on a budget. Does creep mode help in crawling traffic but there?s no manual mode option like other AMTs. The Kwid is easy to steer and park, and ride quality is impressive for this class of the car.
