Budget hatch Segment
is one of the demanded segment until
a period. Maruti-Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Santro was one of the best
hatch. Later vehicles like Hyundai Eon were
introduced. But due to the lack appearance and features demand for hatch had decreased and SUV had a large preference. This may be the
reason, Renault introduced a hatch Named “KWID” with new style and feature.Price :3 Lakhs Onwards (Ex-showroom Price)
In appearance, Renault Kwid is a Crossover/Mini SUV. Renault
Duster itself is an example, which was attracted by the shape. Compared to
Kwid's competitors, Kwid has a greater presence which comes from the big
radiator grill and big logo. The headlamp unit and foglamps is attractive. The
plastic clading over the body gives a look of a Crossover Hatch.
Interior
As mentioned about Kwid's exterior, it is good with in
interior. The Digital Instrument Cluster and Touch Screen Media-Navigation
System (First In Segment) is fine. The 3-spoke Steering Wheel gives a sporty
look (Looks good compared to other Renault Cars). Kwid gives a great visibility while driving like a SUV. There is good
headroom but lack of legroom. The bootspace is more compared to its
competitors.
Engine
Drive
Good driving like of a hatch. Kwid has enough power and good handling. There is a vibration because of the 3-Cylinder engine. The light weight steering
wheel is sometimes convenience at high
speed.
JM Verdict
People who prefer a small (Budget Small Car) can prefer Renault
Kwid. Compared to other hatches Kwid has
a some features more as a plus point. Kwid gives a greater road presence and
does not feel has a small car.
