Renault KWID Automatic

About
The Renault Kwid Automatic is a compact hatchback that blends hatchback and SUV design cues, making it visually appealing. It features a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which, although lacking in refinement, provides good power delivery in the mid-rev range. The car is equipped with a range of features including a touchscreen infotainment system, LED DRLs, and a reverse camera in the top variant. The Kwid boasts a spacious boot and a comfortable cabin, though the rear seat space is somewhat limited. Its suspension setup is praised for its supple ride quality, making it ideal for navigating Indias often rough city roads. However, the AMT gearbox and safety concerns need careful consideration before making a purchase decision. Overall, the Kwid is a good option for small families or first-time car buyers looking for a budget-friendly, city-friendly vehicle.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Renault Kwid Automatic is a compelling option for those seeking a budget-friendly, city-friendly vehicle. While it has its strengths, such as its stylish and SUV-like design, spacious boot, and decent feature list including a reverse camera and touchscreen infotainment system, it also has some notable weaknesses. The 1.0-litre engine, though peppy in the mid-rev range, lacks refinement and sounds gruff at higher revs. The AMT gearbox, though improved, can be clunky and lacks a manual mode. Safety concerns, including a poor safety rating and limited safety features in lower trims, are also a significant consideration. However, for city driving, the Kwids supple ride quality, easy maneuverability, and low maintenance costs make it a viable choice, especially for first-time car buyers.
Price
The Renault Kwid Automatic is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the top variant, the Kwid Climber AMT, is around 5.54 lakh in Delhi. However, the on-road price can vary depending on the location and additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, typically bringing the total to around 7.3 lakh in cities like Bangalore. While the price is attractive, its important to weigh it against the overall build quality and safety features, which some users feel do not justify the higher end of the price spectrum.
Latest Updates
Tuesday, 27 August 2024 06:42 AM The 2024 Renault Kwid continues to use the same 1.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 68 PS and 91 Nm of torque, available with either a 5-speed manual or Easy-R AMT technology. The car achieves a mileage of 21.46 kmpl with the manual and 22.3 kmpl with the AMT. I think the engines performance and mileage make it a reliable option for city driving.
Monday, 15 January 2024 05:25 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid now offers an automatic gearbox in the RXL (O) variant, priced at Rs. 5.44 lakh, making it the cheapest automatic car in India. This update includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system from the RXL (O) trim onwards. I think this move will significantly boost its appeal in the Indian market, especially for those seeking convenience and modern features on a budget.
Monday, 15 January 2024 08:34 AM Renault has updated the safety features of the 2024 Kwid, including the addition of a rear seat belt reminder as standard across all variants. Other safety features like front seat belts with load limiter, driver seat belt with pre-tensioner, and ABS with EBD and brake assist are also standard. I believe these enhancements will make the Kwid a safer choice for budget-conscious buyers.
Friday, 12 January 2024 05:51 PM Renault India has introduced three new dual-tone color options for the 2024 Kwid: Moonlight Silver with Black, Zanskar Blue with Black, and Fiery Red with Black. These additions enhance the cars visual appeal, particularly for the Climber variant. I believe these new colors will attract more buyers looking for a stylish and affordable hatchback.
Friday, 12 January 2024 07:21 PM The 2024 Renault Kwid features a revised pricing structure, with prices reduced across all variants. The Climber AMT variant now costs Rs. 6.12 lakh, down from Rs. 6.33 lakh, and other variants like the RXL (O) MT and RXT MT also see price cuts. I think this pricing strategy will help Renault compete more aggressively in the Indian market.
Mileage
Wednesday, 20 November 2024 04:01 PM The Renault Kwid Automatic offers decent mileage, making it a reasonable choice for those concerned about running costs. Users have reported real-world mileage ranging from 13.5 kmpl to 17 kmpl in city driving conditions, with some achieving up to 26.25 kmpl on highways. The certified mileage is 21.46 kmpl, which is respectable for a car in its segment. This fuel efficiency, combined with low maintenance costs, helps in keeping the overall running costs manageable.

Discussions and Answers Renault KWID Automatic

What is the launch date of Renault KWID automatic in Hyderabad?
29 December 2022 05:57
KWID has been currently launched with a 799 cc, 5-speed manual option. The next option on the list would be a 1L petrol motor with an option between 5-speed manual as well as an AMT unit. The same will be launched in the next year as KWID's 800 cc variant will take time to mark a place in the top sales chart. Launching 1000 cc now would distribute the sales into two different segments, making a loss statement for the company. KWID produces a max of 53.2 BHP and 72 NM of torque. It gets the best in-class features like 25.17 kmpl of mileage, 300 liters of boot space, 180 mm of ground clearance and a crossover inspired design. The currently launched KWID gets a starting price of INR 2,56,968 and gets an airbag equipped top variant for INR 3,53,131.

One of the Best Hatchbacks by Renault

Vijay Verma | 4 years ago

I have booked Renault Kwid and I am happy with my decision as its a one of the best hatchback in its segment. Its crossover like design and high ground clearance attracts me most. Who don't want to own a mini SUV at such a reasonable price. Yes, it looks like mini SUV from any angle. I was waiting for this car since it got officially unleashed four months ago. The powerful engine, spacious interior, comfortable seats and class-leading luggage area is all this hatchback have. Regarding Mileage or other driving experience, I can't write anything yet. I am looking forward to get its delivery soon and very excited to drive it.

Pros: Appearance, Style, Features, Price
