Renault Kwid 1.0L MT
Renault India has conducted the first
media drive of the Renault Kwid 1.0 MT yesterday, ahead of its market launch on
August 22. Here is the images of the Kwid 1.0 sourced from Autocar India.
There are very little
differences when compared to the Kwid 0.8 variant currently sold. The only
couple of features that the Kwid 1.0 has for differentiation are a black and
white chequered decal with a ‘1.0’ lettering on the lower portion of its side
profile and silver ORVM caps. Renault does, offer a wide variety of
accessories for further personalization.
The interior is largely identical to the
Kwid 0.8. It will only be sold in RxT and RxT (O) grades, with a 7 inch
MEDIANAV touchscreen display, fabric seat upholstery with red inserts, front
power windows and an optional driver’s airbag.
The USP of the Kwid 1.0 is under the
hood. It is powered by an all new 999 cc three cylinder SCe engine producing 68
PS and 91 Nm. A 5-speed manual is the only gearbox available, while an AMT
variant will arrive a short time later. The Kwid 1.0 is claimed to offer a
best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 97 PS/tonne and fuel efficiency of 23.01
km/L.
