Pros Cons of Renault Kwid

Pros

  • Outstanding SUV-inspired exterior design.
  • Best-in-class ground clearance of 184mm.
  • Feature-rich interior with a functional eight-inch screen.
  • Standard ESP and TPMS across variants.

Cons

  • Engine can feel noisy at high rpms.
  • Rear seat width is tight for three adults.
  • The AMT can be slow to react during quick overtakes.

Verdict

The Renault Kwid is a car that punches above its weight. After​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ extensive road testing by Seshan Vijayraghvan and car&bike team, it still holds the top position for anyone who is in the market for their first ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌car. It bridges the gap between a basic hatchback and a modern SUV with grace. If you want a car that is easy on the pocket but doesn't feel like a compromise, the Kwid should be at the top of your list.

Best as

  • A first-time buyer’s city companion.
  • An urban pothole warrior.
  • A budget-conscious tech seeker.

Not Ideal as

  • A high-speed highway cruiser.
  • A primary car for five adults.
  • A performance-oriented automatic.


 

Pros Cons of Skoda Rapid

Pros

  • Power-packed engine
  • Impressive handling
  • Ride feels compliant

Cons

  • Rear legroom could have been improved
  • Cabin of the base trim looks dated
  • Sense of space could be improved

Verdict

Skoda has made a strong statement with the new Rapid. It's done away with the diesel engine and that's a bold step. But the renewed focus on introducing more petrol models to the line-up and giving the 4 years Skoda maintenance, assist and warranty package, just gives you a perspective of how the company wants to make the new Rapid a value for money proposition. Yes, it has bargained on features and there's no automatic available yet, but that equation will change in the next couple of months. The Rapid with the 1-litre TSI offers more bang for your buck and is probably the most fun to drive compact sedan out there.
