रेनो क्विड [2015-2019] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Very attractive exteriors. Even though I own one, I still couldn't resist gazing at other KWIDs passing by. Roof rails and few accessories would make it more beautiful

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The touch screen media/navigator, leg space and headspace are generous enough. Glovebox looks great but its locking is a failure. Seats are comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Initial few days, had issues with engine noise and Gear-rod vibration. But as they say, you drive longer the fitter the car, its been smooth and wonderful now (Engine noise is still a point I can't right-off). Gear shift, clutch, brakes and accelerator are smooth and upto the mark. Steering Wheel is the one thing that impressed me a lot.... smooth, light and easy to handle.

I have seen few reviews on bad fuel economy but I think its because of their style of riding the vehicle. When I started it was 10 KMPL in city and 12 KMPL on highways. My cousin and me took it for 3 long drives close to 400KM each, which tuned it.

My Driving guru used to tell me that first few months (till your first service) you listen to the car then it will listen to you for next few years. So that is what I did, driving it with perfect RPM readings. Just before my first service, it was touching 20 on Highways and around 17 in the city(achievement considering Bengaluru city traffic).

Now I am getting around 19-20 in city and 22-23 on highways. (there is a myth my cousin told that it was vrooming at 27kmpl-which I am yet to accept)

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good. You dont feel that you are driving a 800cc at times. Ground clearence is very good but when 5 are in car twice or thrice it did hit the speed breakers.

You can run smooth on all the 'gaddas' in rain affected cities. Easy to handle while switching lanes and moving in traffic.

The turning radius is on a high side, which could disappoint some of us.

Final Words Finally, if you want to own and drive a new car that looks good, drives good and saves good (fuel and maintanence) .. go for it. The engine sound is not a thing once you drive.

If any of your friends/relatives/colleagues are owning it, ask them for a drive and try for yourselves. Don't try any demo car at showrooms as all of them are rubbed and rugged like a toilet paper. For me, I love what I bought. All the best.

Areas of improvement Better quality AC vents, dashboard, change Glovebox and the rear door kissing the front door issues(pure design issue).

Exterior Excellent looks, a head turner. The best car in this segment looks wise.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great comfort with a high ground clearance. Good Space from the inside, very roomy. Hoped the rear windows werent maual and rear seatbelts were retractable. Side mirrors aren't auto adjustable. The infotainment system is excellent looking however speakers provided are just above average. Dual storage boxes with space in doors and between seats for more storage. Well thought. A very large boot space at 300L.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Modest engine performance with great highway mileage. Power is adequate for highway driving, though slopes are slightly hard on the car. The engine however is noisy with in-city mileage dropping noticeably. Gearbox is average. The car pickup is good and the engine is also quick to respond.

Ride Quality & Handling Good Comfort and the high ground clearance helps as well. The steering is smooth but feedback is low. Passengers will feel comfortable in this spacious car.

Final Words A very good car in this segment, almost every feature is well though of. It is designed in a way to deliver the best with cost effectiveness in mind. With the pricing being low we know what to expect and what not to. For anyone who wishes to buy a car that meets the basic needs of travelling the Kwid delivers.

Areas of improvement Engine Noise, Smoother Gearbox and steering feedback.

Exterior As per specification.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) As per specification

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox There is a constant noise and could not be fixed in spite of sending the car to workshop for 4 times. the car stops accelearing all on a sudden and created accident chance many a times and same was demonstrated to the service persons also.

Ride Quality & Handling Acceleartion fails at any point of time and makes passengers and vehicles accident prone.

Final Words There is no service. In spite of reporting the problem to HO , no response. Escalation management is not there and you will get an answer that the same is company policy. No urgency is there in spite of my mails and hardly any answer comes though promised

Areas of improvement Will not recommend this car to anyone as after sales service does not exist. it took even 4 months to get the number plate after extensive followup.
