A white Renault Kwid was filmed on the roads of Chennai; giving an idea of what it’ll look like when it officially hits the roads later this year. The “SUV styling” looks quite convincing, but the only visual grouse is the weedy tires and small wheels.
At 3.68 meters long; 1.58 meters wide and a 180 mm ground clearance, the Kwid is a diminutive thing. An India-specific model for now, the Kwid is based on Renault-Nissan Alliance’s modular CMF-A platform, and will be manufactured in India.
Power comes from a 800cc, three-cylinder DOHC motor reportedly outputting 57 bhp, making the Kwid the most powerful car in its class. Fuel efficiency, promises Renault, will also be the best in class. See the Kwid’s engine bay here.
Thanks to a high localization content of 98%, the Kwid will launch with an aggressive pricing structure (INR3-4 lakh). It’ll also carry many segment first features on the inside, like a seven-inch (18 cm) Media-Nav multimedia/navigation system display, a fully digital instrument console and clever packaging.
