Renault Kwid
The Renault Kwid is one of the show-stealers in its segment, offering both features and looks in equal measure. It has been a success story for Renault in the entry-level hatchback category.
The Renault Kwid wins brownie points with its SUV-like design. The Kwid is still the same overall despite an update. The front fascia has been tweaked for some differentiation. The headlight assembly is now positioned lower and tucked in nicely for the bumper. There are bright DRLs on top along with the turn indicators. The DRL fuses neatly with the grille for doffing a hat to the original design of the Renault Kwid. The bumper has also undergone re-profiling for its headlamps along with getting faux air vents. There is a black lip on the lowest portion of the bumper while the design looks more like a scuff plate of sorts. It also gets an air dam for the supply of cool air towards the radiator. The grille has been revamped with lower detailing in chrome this time around. There is a sleek strip with chrome plating that goes through the grille to fuse with the slim DRLs on both ends. The grille’s honeycomb design also remains the same although the earlier boldness has been muted slightly. The bonnet has the same design and so does the side profile of the Renault Kwid. The designers have also worked on the ORVM caps and their finishes along with the wheel cap designs and plastic cladding graphics on the doors. The wheel caps have a five spoke design as well. The top-end Climber variants come with multi-spoke alloy wheels. The rear design is striking with its new glow pattern for the tail lights which have stop lamp LEDs and there are reflectors tucked into the bumper at the back.
Pros
- Stylish Design
- Decent Features
- Decent Pricing
Cons
- Quality Issues
- Build Quality Not Great
- Not Very Refined
Verdict
The Renault Kwid facelift surprised many with its very extensive makeover. The car gets some new features too, and yet holds on to its inherent strengths that made this SUV-inspired entry hatchback popular to begin with. It has done enough to stay relevant, credible and capable. And yet it remains good value, offers a fair bit of kit at the entry end of the market, and looks pretty cool while doing it. This Car is a proper facelift, one that deserves your attention if you are an entry buyer.
