Renault KWID Review

17 Sep, 2015 12:42 PM

Overview

The ever increasing demand for entry level cars is on its top gear now, with every car manufacturer chasing down to fulfill the need with its product. Tata has given their new Nano for the fight recently and Renault is ready with a much premium looking offering for the segment. KWID, as the car has been named looks more than what it is said to cost. The car can be a fortune maker for Renault as its hatchback has never been a popular car for the country. Even the sales of larger vehicles have gone done considerably, forcing the automaker for some beautiful and fully utilizable change.

Exterior

The KWID comes with an unbelievable crossover like design, which seems to differentiate the car from all the segment competitors. The car looks much expensive from its front look, but the expected price is said to be truly satisfactory for the buyers. The best part of the KWID is at the front. The car looks premium from the front, with an all new grill and aggressive looking headlights. The hood seems next to perfection and the net structure below the front grill has been beautifully integrated into the bumper. The cars in the segment are rather simple but Renault has ignited the fire in the entry level hatchback segment. The tyres have some sort of cladding which follows unevenly through the body, being present at the front and rear only.

Dimesions & Ground Clearance

The length of Renault KWID is 3679mm, width is 1579mm, height is 1478mm and the ground clearance is quite impressive at 180mm. The wheelbase of the car is 2422mm and the boot space is largest in its class at 300 litres.

Interior

The interior of the KWID is the best one which can be offered in the segment. It comes with a touchscreen which also supports navigation and Bluetooth. The interior looks premium from the first look and the placing of buttons on the dash increases the beauty of the car. The air vents are practically designed, with a large glove box, for easy storage of important things in the car. The gear lever has been beautifully designed and the center console looks very gentle and clean. Everything seems perfect for an entry level hatchback.

Instrument Console

The instrument console on the new KWID is fully digital and is enclosed in a very elegant setup. The center houses the digital speedometer, with the odometer also in the same segment. The right has the digital fuel gauge, whereas the left of the console houses lights for seat belt, battery and all other indications. This will be the first ever digital display in the entry level segment, which clearly shows Renault’s plan of being a class apart from other manufacturers.

Engine, Gearbox & Mileage

The Renault KWID comes with a 3-cylinder, 799 cc petrol motor, which is said to be the most economical motor in the segment by Renault. It generates maximum power of 53.2 BHP @ 5678 rpm with maximum torque of 72 NM @ @ 4386 rpm. The gearbox used is 5-speed manual and the talks for an AMT has been kept for some other time. The car seems large from its visuals only, the engine factor makes it very competitive in the IndianMARKET as no other brand is offering aggressive looking mini beast with all such advanced features.

Safety & Comfort

The braking at the front is handled by disc brakes, whereas the rear gets drum brakes for the KWID. ABS is missing which seems to be a normal skipping point for the manufacturers in the entry level cars in India. The suspension at the front is the McPherson's whereas the rear gets a multi-arm type suspension. The car looks pretty good with its visuals but the tyres seems to be small when compared to its body size. The car seems to be spacious, with many of the comfort features being missed on the other cars in the segment. The top variant of KWID is expected to come with optional driver side airbag.

Expected Variants

Initially Renault KWID 800 is expected to be available in 4 variants - Standard, RxE, RxL & top-of-the-line RxT. It is also expected that the company may launch automatic AMT verision next year plus there are also rumours doing rounds that they are also planning to launch 1000cc version of KWID to compete with Alto K10 & Eon 1.0.

Expected Ex-showroom Price

The new Renault KWID is expected to be around INR 3.0 to INR 4.0 lakh, which makes it a really fair deal for such a feature packed vehicle.
