Planning To Buy A Used Renault Kwid? Pros And Cons Here

The Renault Kwid is one of the more popular entry-level hatchbacks in the country. It was just in September that the French carmaker launched the updated 2021 Renault Kwid in India, which came with revised features, a new colour option and improved safety features. In fact, the car was launched to mark Renault completing 10 years in the Indian market. And now there is a see of previous model years cars available in the resale. If you are planning to buy a used Renault Kwid, here are some pros and cons.

Pros

1. The Renault Kwid is arguably the best-looking entry-level hatchback in the market. The car's SUV-like styling, rugged exterior, and vibrant single and dual-tone colour options make it an attractive package.
2. The Kwid comes with a host of smart features like - LED daytime running lamps, LED taillights and alloy wheels. Inside, the Kwid gets a smart-looking interior with features like - an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED instrument cluster. The Kwid now also comes with electrically operable ORVMs.
   

   The new Renault Kwid facelift now gets a bigger 8.0-inch touchscreen unit.

3. The Kwid is longer, wider and offers more wheelbase compared to its rivals, which translates into significantly more cabin space. The space at the front, as well as the rear, is acceptable for a car of this class, enough for 4 adults.
4. The Renault Kwid gets a peppy 1.0-litre petrol engine, along with the 800 cc naturally aspirated motor. The 1.0 petrol unit, which will be our pick, comes with both a 5-speed manual and an optional AMT unit.

Cons

1. While the Renault Kwid certainly looks quite attractive, however, the car's built quality is not very impressive. Especially, the cabin, which comes with low quality plastics, while the buttons and dials are also flimsy.
   

   The new Renault Kwid Facelift is similar to its predecessor mechanically and has similar driving dynamics.

2. While the cabin is quite spacious, there isn't enough space for your knick-knacks. The Kwid has an absolute dearth of storage spaces, especially at the rear. Even the bottle holders are barely big enough to hold a small wattle bottle.
3. While Renault has added a bunch of new safety features, the car still only comes with a lap belt for the rear middle passenger, and neither do we get ISOFIX child seat mounts. Renault also doesn't offer ESC (electronic stability control) even as an option.
