3.0 Exterior | 1.0 Comfort | 1.0 Performance |
1.0 Fuel Economy | 1.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Though Kwid is 98% made in India, which attractade me to buy Renault KWID RXL. Compared to Maruti Alto 800, Alto K10, Maruti Celerio, Ignis I feel exterior is much better compared to any other car in segment.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) As soon as you enter in the car MIND YOUR HEAD if you are 6'0 feet or more taller. I may not suggest to use back seats if your hight is no between 5'0 Feet to 5'8 Feet. Audio system is made of cheap quality plastics and rubber buttens which are very hard to use.
cabin space is decent compared to Alto 800 & Alto K10.
Air conditioning is very powerful which will toruble you in rainy seasons. You may not able to drive in rain because of fog gets deposited at much higer rate which will reduce your visibility of roads and you may endup with joyful drive in rain with open windows regardless you want that or not!!!!
If you are not habituated with noise of Diesel engine in cabin then this car is definately not for you. As its Petrol car, It does generate ample of noise inside/outside like TRACTOR which will give you bit noisy enviornment inside/outside of car. After discussing with Service center folks, they cleary asked me accept noise as its known to manufaturer and assured by manufacturer. NOTHING CAN BE DONE!!!!!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
* I drive Renault KWID RXL atleast 70 Kms a day which is costing me 5.50 Ruppes per Kelometer. I have completed 3200 kelometers in past 2 months of purchase. Means where is the milage??? 25.17 KMPL!!! its should cost me max to max 3 to 3.50 rupees/kelometer. If you are thinking tro buy this car because of milage then drop your planse ASAP. You may end up with 13.42 KMPL.
* In city, you may not able to shift gear up to 5th as accelaration and transmission lacks power. If you are habituated to shift gears from 4rth to 3rd/ 5th to 4rth on road breakers - BE READY FOR GERK FROM GEARBOX.
* Compared to Alto 800 & Alto K10 who has much better performance with CNG fitted KIT than NON CNG FITTED KWID.
* If you are thing to transform Kwid to CNG then DONT DO IT. you may end with ENGINE FAILURE. For example visit, Service center where you may find at least one KWID which engine failed beacuse of CNG. Which is not covered in Warrenty.
Final Words I would suggest to save some more money to by much better car than these segment rather than wasting all you money which you have saved till date.
Areas of improvement Improvements: Engine Noise, Milage, Gearbox, AC. I think relauch with this improvements or Renault may end up like GM.
