ReplyDeleteRenault Kwid immediately impressed with its unusual design for a budget hatchback - a crossover fit, plastic wheel arch trim and high ground clearance (180 mm), which is more reminiscent of an SUV than a city car. In the cabin - an unexpectedly large 7-inch touch display of the MediaNav multimedia system, which was then a rarity in the class. Under the hood - a modest 0.8-liter gasoline engine, focused on fuel economy. Kwid became Renault's answer to the needs of the Indian market: affordable, compact, but with character.
