Renault Kwid 1.0L AMT
Renault has silently launched Kwid 1.0L Easy-R AMT. It is only available in the top-end RxT
(O) grade and priced at INR 4.25 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), which is nearly INR
29,000 more than the RxT (O) manual variant.
Under the hood is a 999 cc three cylinder SCe
engine paired with a 5-speed Easy-R AMT unit. It produces 68 PS at 5,500 rpm
and 91 Nm at 4,250 rpm, and capable of averaging a fuel mileage of 24.04 km/L
(ARAI-certified), making it slightly more fuel efficient than the manual
variant.
In Kwid AMT, the R, N and D gears are selected via a
circular dial located beside the window controls on the center console. Unlike
its nearest rival, it lacks the option to shift manually, so you’ll have to
completely rely on its electronics to serve up the next gear.
There are no changes to the equipment list. The Kwid
AMT RxT (O) comes equipped with a 7-inch MEDIANAV touchscreen system, bluetooth
connectivity and GPS-guided navigation, a multi-info display under the digital
speedometer, driver’s airbag and front ‘Pro-Sense’ seat-belt pre-tensioners,
and remote central locking.
