Renault Kwid Specifications
Renault Kwid is a compact hatchback with a 5-seat capacity and an SUV-inspired design that gives it good road presence, though it doesn't have the power to drive like an SUV. Its small dimensions make it easy to park. More details on the Kwid's mileage, specifications and features are provided in the sections below.
Engine & Transmission
The current-generation Renault Kwid offers a single 1-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine. The earlier generation was available with a smaller 0.8-litre engine, which has since been discontinued. The petrol variants come with both manual and automatic transmission options, while the factory CNG option is offered only with certain manual variants.
Interior & Comfort
The interior of the Kwid may not look stunning, but it doesn't feel dated either. A touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster and other modern features give the cabin a contemporary vibe. The rear seats have fixed headrests and comfortably seat two adults, while the front seats get adjustable headrests and are well-cushioned for the driver and co-driver. The cabin also offers multiple storage pockets and compartments, which is a practical touch.
Mileage and Performance
The Renault Kwid petrol returns up to 22 kmpl, making it a great option for daily city commuting. The fuel tank capacity is only 28 litres, but the high mileage makes up for it. The CNG variants deliver up to 33 km/kg, which is quite impressive. There's nothing breathtaking about its performance, except that it feels stable through sharp corners thanks to its design.
Safety Features
Depending on the testing year and model, the Renault Kwid has achieved a 1- to 2-star Global NCAP rating, which is fairly ordinary. Along with a reversing camera on the higher trims, you get ABS, TPMS, EBD, ESC and multiple airbags across the Kwid variants.
Dimensions & Bootspace
The Renault Kwid is a small car with decent cabin space. Its 279-litre boot isn't huge but is still better than most cars in its segment, and folding the rear seats expands it to up to 620 litres.
Top Features
A reverse parking camera, touchscreen infotainment with smart connectivity, and dual-tone exterior options are the top features of the Kwid.

Renault Kwid User's Review 4.3
"I bought a one-litre Kwid in 2021, and I take it to the office every day, doing over 100 kms each day. The AMT works like a dream and saves me all the hassle. The fuel efficiency is brilliant and saves me a lot of money every month. All this with the great looks makes me proud of it."
"I bought an 800cc Kwid in 2020, and I am very happy with it till date. I wish I had bought the 1,000cc Kwid as I find it a bit underpowered at times. The engine is loud but refined, and it does its job happily every day. "
"I like my Kwid. It is 8 months old, and I love it. The only problem I feel is that there is a lot of vibration at the lower RPMs. But once it starts moving, it gets better. Another problem is that the engine can be heard inside the cabin even with the windows rolled up. Apart from that, it looks great, and the fuel efficiency is brilliant. "
"There is no reason for me to not give it five stars. There is nothing I do not like about my 1,000cc Kwid. Mine is a manual transmission which gives me total control over the car. This is a peppy car, and the manual transmission makes it better. Sometimes, I do wish it had a little more power. The front of the Kwid is like no other car in its segment. "
"I bought my Kwid in 2018 and a few months later the new Kwid was launched which looked much better. My Kwid also does not have the 8-inch touchscreen that is available these days. Apart from that, it is a decent car that does its job happily every day. It does look and feel boring on open roads when you want it to go fast. If you tap the accelerator pedal in the morning, it reaches its top speed by afternoon."
"Since 2016, I have been driving the Renault Kwid. The recent editions are much more impressive in terms of ride-quality and features. The service costs of Kwid cars are quite affordable and the spare parts are cheaper. It is an excellent choice for car buyers looking for a decent car for their small family. "
"The high mileage of Kwid coupled with its reasonable price and modern features make it a complete car. As a first-time car buyer, I’m totally satisfied with the performance of this car. It is quite comfortable too and the infotainment system is decent at this price range. Overall, I’m totally satisfied after buying this car. "
"Renault Kwid competes with cars like Maruti Alto and Hyundai i10. Its more aggressive styling and muscular looks make it look like an SUV. The engine noise is comparatively higher because it is not refined. Lookwise and feature-wise, the car is quite impressive. "
"Renault Kwid comes with an aesthetically appealing look. Yet, the legroom is not sufficient for taller individuals like me. The fuel-efficiency of this car is quite impressive but the other cars in its segment also deliver similar kind of mileage or even higher. Rooting for this car because of its features though. "
