Renault Kwid bookings started

The Renault Kwid is among the most exciting new launches for 2015 and bookings for the upcoming car has commenced. Few Renault dealers across the country have started accepting bookings for Rs 25,000 (which is refundable). The new Kwid will be the first small hatchback from the French carmaker for the Indian market. The sub-4 metre hatchback is expected to be launched by mid-September and will be priced between Rs 3 to 4 lakh (ex-showroom). For a car at its price, the Kwid is expected to come loaded with features. It gets a all-digital instrument cluster, a touch screen infotainment system with AUX and USB connectivity, power windows for the front two passengers, central locking and more.

We’ll get the exact feature list and the variant-wise information when the car is launched. The Renault Kwid has a tall design, said to imitate an SUV like stance. The front deign is most interesting with a large Renault badge prominently positioned on the chunky front grille. Powering the Kwid is a 800cc 3-cylinder petrol engine, mated to a newly developed 5-speed manual gearbox. Renault claims that it will be the most fuel efficient car in the segment and it could well be true as the car weighs just 678kg.
