Sports, Race, Rallycross, Chase, Ziipp, Turbo and Classic.
Each Kwid has a unique graphic design that suits the

available in all 5 colours: Fiery Red, Ice Cool White, Moonlight Silver,
Outback Bronze and Planet Grey, and for all variants: 0.8L, 1.0L and 1.0L AMT
variants. The Kwid can also further be personalised with accessories such as
