The Renault Kwid specifications stay refreshingly plain, which suits a car built to be affordable. A single petrol engine and two gearboxes make the sheet easy to read top to bottom.
The 1.0 litre petrol displaces 999 cc and puts out 69 PS at 5500 rpm. Peak torque is 92.5 Nm at 4250 rpm, enough to move the light body around town. Power reaches the front wheels through a 5 speed manual or a 5 speed AMT. The three cylinder layout gives a slightly gruff note, but it settles down at a steady cruise.
Fuel numbers are the strong point. The manual is rated at 21.46 kmpl and the AMT edges ahead to 22.3 kmpl. That makes the automatic the thriftier pick on paper, which is unusual. You can check how the Kwid mileage compares by gearbox in detail.
The body measures 3731 mm long on a 2422 mm wheelbase, so it parks in gaps larger cars miss. Ground clearance is a useful 184 mm and the boot holds 279 litres. The 28 litre tank keeps refills cheap. Five people fit, though four travel more comfortably on a long run. The kerb weight stays low, which is why the small engine never feels overworked in town.
Safety kit grows as you move up the trims, adding airbags, ABS and parking aids higher in the range. The tall glass gives a clear view out, which helps in traffic. Read together, the figures show a light, honest city car. Next, see the Kwid price for your city.
