RENAULT KWID FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

    Its difficult for any company to compete with the Maruti Suzuki Cars in the Indian market,especially in the small car segment.Renault is all set to give a shot in the small car segment with the all new Renault Kwid.


         Renault is planing to price this car between 3-4 lakh to compete with the likes of Maruti Alto K10 and the Hyundai EON.From the first look it is clear that this is going to be the best looking car in the segment.Its SUV like looks and 180 mm ground clearance is the first in the segment.The car has 98% localisation which will help them to bring down the cost.

               
ENGINE             
     Under the hood, the Renault Kwid houses a brand new 800cc, three-cylinder engine making 53BHP power and 73NM of torque.  After all, it has four valves per cylinder - and hence it's free of any  vibration associated with three-cylinder motors. At 660 kgs, It's also impressively light. It is more than 50kg lighter that its competeters.But renault tells that they have not compromised on safety and this is achieved by smart Engineering.The car is very impressive in the ride-and-handling department.


INTERIOR
       Interior is spacious and you can feel it as soon as you get into the car,It gets a lots of storage spaces.It gets 3 glove boxes.It has a first in class digital meter.

It gets a touch screen infotainment system which is also first in the segment.

Power window switches are on the central console.The rear legroom is adequate but the seat is placed a bit low reducing the under thigh support.
        It gets a very good 300 liter capacity boot which is also the best in the segment.


RIDE AND HANDLING
        The light weight of the cars helps it in good handling.The torque is distributed in the lower RPM.When you drive it is feels a bit larger that its size and the turning radius is a bit more that the other cars in the segment.The steering is light and helps it to be good in city ride.Renault claims the fuel efficiency of the Kwid is 25.17 km/l, making it the most fuel efficient car in the country.

VERDICT
    This car has got every thing to take on the competition only the Renault has to do is to price it right.

  2. Renault 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.
