What makes the Renault KWID India's favourite car?

For most car buyers in the entry level segment, owning a car is the culmination of a long cherished dream. In case of families, it could be the second largest purchase made after a house or it could be the first large purchase made by a student after completing the formal education and receipt of a job offer. It could even be a coming of age gift from parent for their child. Whatever may be the case, the car stands for freedom and independence. 

In most cases, the car buyer is very picky about the looks, features and the price of the car. In their opinion, these are the only parameters on which the personality of the car owner will be judged. In most case, the car owner cares less about the real specifications that determine the ownership experience of the car. Hence, more than the visible specs, attention should be paid more towards the hidden ones. These being bit technical in nature, are generally ignored.  

Every individual who is about to buy a car needs to be aware of and also familiar with certain car specifications, basis which the decision to buy must be arrived at. One should always look at a car that offers superior specifications. For instance, the Renault KWID specifications are considered to be amongst the better ones in the entry-level segment. Let us look at 4 top Renault KWID specifications that makes it India’s favourite entry-level car.

Engine:

In the entry level segment, most cars offer a single engine option (0.8 litres) as the car is smaller in size, a 0.8 litre engine serves the purpose just right. However unlike the other popular cars in this segment like the Alto, the KWID offers two engine options, 0.8 Liters and 1 Litre. A higher capacity engine not only makes the car zippy to drive, but also offers a much superior driving experience. 

Transmission:

No matter which car you are driving, there is no escaping bumper to bumper traffic on Indian roads. Constant shifting of gears in busy traffic causes undue fatigue in the driver. Hence, one should always prefer an AMT version like that of the Renault KWID, which takes away the stress of driving on busy roads. 

Weight

The weight of the car has a direct link with its fuel efficiency. A lighter car is generally more fuel efficient than a heavier one. One of the ley Renault KWID specification is its lower gross weight of 1144 Kgs. This is 41 Kgs lower than Alto, thus making it better for the engine.

Dimensions

Key parameters here include the car’s length, ground clearance, overall width and wheelbase. These parameters impact the comfort level, driving ease and interior space available for passengers. Compared to the Alto, the Renault KWID emerges superior on almost all of them (3455 mm, 160 mm, 1490 mm, 2360 mm vs. 3731 mm, 184 mm, 1579 mm, 2422 mm for the KWID). This makes the car longer, wider and taller than the Alto.

Besides the fact that the Renault KWID specifications are superior than most cars in the entry level segment, the KWID also scores big on its SUV inspired look, ergonomic interior space and its price which starts at just Rs. 2.94 Lacs (ex. Showroom Delhi). 

It is this combination of Renault KWID’s specifications and rich features that make it one of the top performers in its category. However, most importantly, the car helps in creating the personality of the car owner as a smart, fun loving and intelligent human being.

What makes the Renault KWID India’s most loved car?

There was a time when owning a car was considered as luxury. This was also the time when wealthy Indians had to choose from just two models. While imported models were also available, they were affordable to a handful few. All this changed in 1983 when the Maruti-800 was launched. Overnight, the car became success and became a symbol of India’s ambitious middle class. It soon became the first car for most families. And soon, there were many such first time car buyers in India. However, from the manufacturer’s perspective, these entry level cars represented wafer thin margins and hence offered no incentive for them to innovate. Soon, the situation came to a point where there was hardly anything except the price that could act as a value proposition. The entry level car category lost the crown as the highest volume generator to the next level – the hatchbacks. While many car makers attempted different things, none could really stop that slide. Then came the Renault KWID in 2015. Designe...

What makes the Renault Kwid India’s favourite even after so many years?

When the Renault Kwid was launched in India, it was seen as just another car launched in a category that was extremely price-sensitive and already had a dominant market leader as its competitor. These were the exact two reasons that proved to be Renault Kwid’s plus points eventually. When the Kwid was launched, the first thing that attracted customers to it was its SUV inspired look. In a category where the perception was that price decided everything, here was a welcome change. Instead of a box with four wheels, the Renault Kwid offered something that truly supported their aspirations and supported their beliefs. Today, the Renault Kwid has become India’s favourite entry-level car. The aggressive muscular look of the Kwid made heads turn. On the outside, the car is stylish, mean, and clear in its appeal. The silver streak LED DRLs, SUV styled headlamps, new stylish grille, or the tail lamps with LED light guidelines all point in only one direction – the car and the category cannot b...
