Renault Kwid:
The all new masterpiece from Renault.
Kudos to the design team of Kwid.
Exteriors
Kwid will surely catch all the eyes on the road due to its attractive design and looks.The car just outshine its rivals.At first look you can be easily mistaken by its proportion and design, Because It looks like a high end SUV.Although it is a very economical hatchback.
Many people say that the front side of the car is very well designed.But I would rather say the rear is even better.The new edged cocktail lights with the attached real spoiler with the black bumber cladding at bottom and the chrome finish Renault Kwid logo simply makes it look beautiful and elegant.
The only thing which I did not like is the small 13 inch tyres. They are really small.Probably Renault did this to reduce the cost of the car.But in my opinion these unique tyres does not suits with the overall design of the car.
Interiors
In the front door there is place for bottle holders, there we can keep in 2-3 bottles very easily.A small arm rest is also available there.The steering wheel is a 3 spoke sporty looking electrical power steering wheel.The displays all digital.You also get a dynamic LCD music system in the center which you cannot get in any other entry level car of this segment.
The seats are very comfortable.You would face no problems in long drives.The AC vents are cleverly designed with chrome finish on the outside and the dashboard is a single tone with grey shade.
The funny thing happened with me when I was entering the rear seat my head just banged on the roof rail and just 5 feet 9 inches and for people above 6 feet it would surely be a headache getting in and out of the car.
But once you get inside the back seats are very comfortable and you also get very good legroom too.The rear floor is flat which helps the third person to sit comfortably in the center.
The music system is enclosed in a black piano finished frame.The all digital display unit consists of speedometer, tachometer, fuel indicator and a gear shift indicator.The touch screen music system consists of FM, AUX, USB, CD Player and a GPS navigation system which will ensure you do not get lost in this world.
You also get a glove box on the top and also a glove box at the bottom of the dashboard to keep your important stuffs in closed.The AC vent heater and fan knobs are also integrated in the black piano finish.
Lets talk about the boot space which is one of the best in its class.The 300 liter boot can easily hold 3 big suitcases comfortably. So whenever we are going out of town or go for a vacation with your family you do not need to worry about the luggage.This big boot space can fit in all you stuffs easily.
With such huge dimension Renault is also giving a class leading mileage of 25 Kmpl for this 800 cc three cylinder petrol engine.
The ground clearance of Kwid is 180 mm.So we also need not worry about the bad Indian road conditions.
In totality I would say that this is the best designed car available between 2-4 Lakhs in India.
Renault; we appreciate your effort and keep on doing the good work.
All the best
