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 Honda Civic

Pros

  • Sexy looks
  • Premium and spacious cabin
  • Powerful and peppy petrol engine

Cons

  • Low profile tyres are noisy
  • Steering at times feels cumbersome
  • Petrol-manual drivetrain would have done wonders

Verdict

And this is why the company has also taken cognizance of the feedback on the 8th gen car in India. The ground clearance for this India spec has been increased by 20 mm in front and 15 mm at the back. Having driven over a variety of roads, I can safely say that the ground clearance is not an issue whatsoever. I know you are now probably wondering where I stand on this car. It has some obvious flaws and some great strengths - but to me its also about its legacy and therefore the return of the Civic nameplate to India is just terrific. I welcome it warmly - and also now hope that Honda prices it sensibly. That won't just be great news for Civic fans, but also for the ailing midsize segment that badly needs a hit.
