The Renault Kwid can be one the best budget facelifted hatchbacks which you can buy right now.
This SUV inspired hatchback is very appealing to the eyes. It has types of equipment which were unseen in similar types of cars earlier.
The only problem with this hatchback model is the un-updated engine. But soon, that loophole is getting fixed.
There is a piece of good news for car lovers. Soon, Renault India is going to launch the Kwid hatchback according to BS6 norms.
Lately, a test mule of the BS6 Renault Kwid could be seen on camera during its test rounds. The image caught in the camera is the image of a slightly camouflaged car.
It was a Climber variant of the BS6 Renault Kwid (1.0 L, three-cylinder petrol engine). Because of the compliance with the BS6 norms, the hatchback may now provide lesser mileage to its riders. This can be a sort of disadvantage for the riders.
Specifications:
Following are the detailed specifications of the BS6 complied Renault Kwid:
At present, there are two powertrain options for the Renault Kwid – a 0.8 L petrol and the other one is 1.0 L petrol.
If we compare the two, then we will notice that the gasoline unit with smaller capacity produces a peak power of 54PS.
While the other group with larger size pushes out a maximum power of 68PS. The torque level is 72Nm in case of the smaller gasoline unit, while the 1.0 L variant has torque level up to 91Nm.
Either a five-speed AMT gearbox or a five-speed manual transmission accompanies the 1.0 L variant.

- Reminder for driver and co-driver seat belts
