About

The Renault Kwid RXT Automatic is a compact hatchback designed with city driving in mind. It features a stylish and SUV-inspired design, which sets it apart from other hatchbacks in its class. The car is powered by a 999cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine that provides decent performance for urban driving. It comes equipped with features like a touchscreen display, reverse parking camera, LED DRLs, and ABS with EBD, making it a well-rounded package for its price. The interior is comfortable with sufficient legroom, although the rear seat space is somewhat limited. The AMT transmission adds convenience, but its long-term reliability is a concern. Overall, the Kwid RXT Automatic is a good option for first-time car buyers looking for a stylish, fuel-efficient vehicle, but its important to consider its potential maintenance costs and safety ratings.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Kwid RXT Automatic is a mixed bag for potential buyers in India. While it offers a stylish and SUV-inspired design that appeals to many, its overall performance and reliability raise several concerns. The AMT transmission, although convenient for city driving, tends to deteriorate in shift quality after the initial 20-30,000 kilometers, leading to juddering and jerking issues. The build quality and fit and finish are not up to the mark, especially considering the price point of around Rs 7 lakh. Additionally, the cars safety ratings are poor, and maintenance issues such as frequent failures of the oil sump and other components have been reported. However, it does come with decent features like a touchscreen display, reverse parking camera, and LED DRLs. If you are looking for a hassle-free ownership experience, you might want to consider other options like the Maruti Suzuki Ignis or Tata Tiago, which offer better engineering, safety, and resale value.

Price

The Renault Kwid RXT Automatic is priced competitively in the Indian market, but the costs can vary based on the location and any additional features. The ex-showroom price for the RXT Automatic variant typically starts around Rs 6.5 lakh, but once you factor in on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can go up to around Rs 7.3 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh, depending on the state. While this is within the budget for many first-time car buyers, its crucial to weigh the costs against the potential long-term maintenance and reliability issues. If you are willing to stretch your budget slightly, you might find better value in other models that offer more robust build quality and better service networks.

Latest Updates

Friday, 21 June 2024 05:18 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT Automatic has been launched in India with a revised price tag, starting at Rs. 5.95 lakh (ex-showroom). This update includes the addition of an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, even in the mid-spec RXL(O) variant, making it a more feature-rich option. The RXT Automatic also comes with power windows on all four doors and a digital instrument cluster. I think this makes the Kwid a strong contender in the small hatchback segment.

Tuesday, 18 June 2024 05:54 PM Renault has consolidated the variant lineup of the Kwid, and the RXT Automatic is now one of the four key variants available. The car retains its 999 cc petrol engine and 5-speed AMT transmission, offering a certified mileage of 21.46 kmpl. The RXT Automatic also features safety enhancements like ABS with EBD, traction control, and hill start assist. I believe these updates make the Kwid more appealing to budget-conscious buyers.

Monday, 15 January 2024 10:50 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT Automatic boasts new dual-tone color options, including White with black roof, Yellow with black roof, Red with black roof, Silver with black roof, and Blue with black roof. These color schemes add a fresh look to the vehicle, making it more visually appealing. The RXT variant also includes features like rear parking sensors and a rear camera, enhancing convenience and safety.

Thursday, 11 January 2024 05:55 PM Renault India has reduced the prices of the 2024 Kwid across all variants, including the RXT Automatic. This move is significant as it makes the Kwid more competitive in the market, especially against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso and Tata Tiago. The price reduction is a welcome change for potential buyers. I think this could boost sales for Renault.

Thursday, 11 January 2024 06:18 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid RXT Automatic comes equipped with standard safety features such as electronic stability program (ESP), traction control (TC), hill start assist (HSA), and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). These features are a step up in terms of safety, making the Kwid a more secure choice for buyers. The inclusion of these features is a positive move by Renault.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 02:09 PM The Renault Kwid RXT Automatic offers a certified mileage of 21.46 kmpl, which is quite competitive in its segment. In real-world conditions, owners have reported mileage ranging from 17 to 22 kmpl, depending on driving habits and conditions. This makes it a fuel-efficient choice for city driving, which is its primary intended use. However, highway performance and mileage can be less impressive, but for urban commuters, the Kwids fuel efficiency is a significant advantage.
