General information and overview

The Renault KWID RXT 800cc is a compact hatchback that stands out with its SUV-like styling, which appeals to many buyers in the Indian market. It comes loaded with features such as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, keyless entry, electrically adjustable ORVMs, and all four power windows. The car is powered by a 68 PS91 Nm 1-litre petrol unit, although the RXT variant specifically comes with the 800cc engine. The ride quality is commendable, with balanced suspension that absorbs most bumps and speed breakers effectively. While the rear seats can feel cramped for tall passengers, the overall comfort and practicality of the car make it a good choice for small families and city driving. The safety features, including dual front airbags and ABS, add to its appeal, making it a well-rounded option in its segment.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Renault KWID RXT, particularly the 800cc variant, is a compelling option for those seeking a budget-friendly and feature-rich compact hatchback. While it may not excel in every department, it offers a balanced package that caters well to the needs of city driving. The cars SUV-like styling, comfortable ride, and decent safety features such as dual front airbags and ABS make it a practical choice. However, the 800cc engine, though economical, can feel underpowered when driven aggressively or on uphill terrain. The automated manual transmission (AMT) can be slow and jerky at times, which might be a drawback for some. Despite these limitations, the KWIDs overall value for money, low maintenance costs, and good fuel efficiency make it a solid contender in its segment.

Recent news and announcements

The Renault Kwid RXT 0.8 has been discontinued in the Indian market due to the BS6 Phase 2 norms, which made the 800cc engine non-compliant. This move has left only the 1.0-liter engine option available for the Kwid. I think this is a significant loss for those who preferred the fuel efficiency of the smaller engine.
January 2, 2024
In the past, the Renault Kwid RXT 0.8 was known for its class-leading ground clearance of 180mm, which provided a comfortable ride on Indian roads. The car also featured a large boot space of 300 liters, making it a practical choice for daily use. I believe the ground clearance was one of its standout features.
September 15, 2023
The Renault Kwid RXT 0.8 came with a range of features including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, keyless entry, central locking, and power door locks. It also had safety features like an engine immobilizer, child safety lock, and seat belt warning. These features made it a well-rounded option in its segment.
June 20, 2023
The Kwid RXT 0.8 had a 0.8-liter SCe engine that produced 53 bhp of power and 72 Nm of torque. It was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and had a fuel efficiency of around 25 km/l. The cars performance was adequate for city driving but struggled a bit on highways.
March 10, 2023
The Renault Kwid RXT 0.8 was priced competitively, with an ex-showroom price starting at around Rs. 4.88 lakh. This made it an attractive option for first-time car buyers looking for a feature-packed hatchback. I think the pricing was one of its strongest selling points.

Don't Buy KWID. Go for Hyundai EON.

Summary

Worst experience...I booked KWID RxT on June for 4.47 lakh. Last week, my car arrived at Showroom.
Worst experience...I booked KWID RxT on June for 4.47 lakh. Last week, my car arrived at Showroom. Afttat, I'm going to settle the payment. That time, sales manager said that the price is increased by 10000. I shocked. That means, the cost of the car is 4.57 lakh. They try to compromised us. But, I am not suppose to compromise. May be some demand on KWID. So they used to collect the money from the customers. The prize is increased by monthly. For ex: car prize 1% increased on July. Accessories prize increased Rs.4000 on August because of their demand. I'm the only reason in my family for buy KWID. But, I disappointed totally now. My bro said that we are all going to buy Hyundai eon. So, we went to Hyundai Showroom. They give some discount on price & more on accessories, etc., At this price range of KWID Rs.4.57, we may buy Hyundai eon sports version (almost top end). Afttat, I canceled the booking of KWID. I never expected these kind of response from Renault. Renault company team said to them that no negotiation on price. They used customers for money only, Not for customer satisfaction. Now, we are going to buy Hyundai eon. They said clear price details for eon. Not like Renault. That time, I realized that top manufacturer proved their good response to the customers like Hyundai.

How many colour variants will be on offer? Black Kwid would really good, it pretty much looks like a smaller version of Duster but it sure is butch than its bigger brother. Kwid looks aggressive than any other Renault car. I would go for a car that looks like that than go for a bike that costs just the same.

The 1.0 lt petrol engine will be awesome, they should have brought that along with the 800cc one. And since AMT is also on cards, it seems we will be seeing a lot of Kwids on the road. Anticipation and curiosity is power when it comes to cars.
