The Renault KWID was chosen as the best pre-owned small hatchback vehicle for 2023 by OLX Autos, India’s leading marketplace for pre-owned automobiles, in cooperation with Autocar India, a well-known automotive newspaper.
Renault’s KWID has been a game-changing product in India, where it has amassed a customer base of over 4,250,000 people. With its contemporary SUV-inspired design language, high ground clearance and low cost of ownership, the Renault KWID has reinvented the entry-level sector in India. This was made possible by its high levels of localisation, which also contributed to the vehicle’s high ground clearance. With Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Video Playback, and Voice Recognition, the first-of-its-kind 8-inch touchscreen MediaNAV Evolution takes infotainment to the next level, allowing the driver to do anything hands-free, swiftly, and easily. The Silver Streak LED Daytime Running Lights create an unforgettable first impression and emphasise the SUV-inspired design of the car.
In addition to having exterior rearview mirrors that are electrically adjustable, this model has one that contains a reverse parking camera that provides advice to make parking easier in even the tightest of places. The ARAI Testing Certification reveals that the KWID 0.8L achieves an impressive 22.25 kilometres per litre of fuel efficiency, making it the most efficient vehicle in its class. It has a maintenance cost of as little as 35 paise per kilometre, comes with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty for two years or 50,000 kilometres (whichever comes first), with an extension option of up to five years, and an Easy-Care package that takes care of all of the vehicle’s maintenance needs. Customers can also choose to have their warranty extended for an additional year.
The Renault KWID not only complies with all of the latest safety criteria for the Indian market but also takes further precautions to protect pedestrians and passengers. All of the available trim levels come equipped with a number of active and passive safety features as standard equipment. These include dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution, seat belt reminders, over-speed alerts, reverse parking sensors, and driver-side pyro & pre-tensioners with load limiters. In addition, it comes with a load limiter and a seat belt pyrotechnic as standard equipment.
Leveraging the knowledge and skills of Indian workers, the Renault KWID programme encourages the production of goods that can compete successfully globally for sale in India and throughout the rest of the world. Many media outlets have awarded the automobile a total of 33 honours. It has garnered praise from a large number of customers as well as critics from the automotive industry. The Renault KWID, which is offered with powertrains of either 0.8L or 1.0L SCe and may be paired with either a Manual or an AMT transmission, has been a crucial component in the nationwide expansion of the Renault brand.
