Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car to choose, KWID, Santro or Wagon R?
  • All the three cars are good in their forte. The Kwid is a great first car, looks great and sports some nice features but the driving experience isn't the best. Whereas, Hyundai Santro has a smooth engine, easy-to-drive, well-equipped top-end variant, interior quality from a class-above. On the other hand, the Wagon R continues to be a sensible practical hatchback. It’s now stronger, more feature-loaded, more powerful and safer. Importantly, the prices have not gone up substantially. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. How KWID AMT comparable with Celerio AMT and Santro AMT ? As per the details , Santro AMT Gear Box built in-house by Hyundai Motors India and Celerio AMT Gear box built by Magneti Marrelli Transmission ..What about KWID AMT Gearbox ? Whose Techology is that ? Also I came to know that KWID AMT has only option to go with Auto version and there's no manual version driving option whereas both are offered by Santro AMT and Celerio AMT ?
  • Out of the aforementioned options, the Hyundai Santro offers the smoothest AMT driving experience. The shifts are slow and the shift logic also favours a laid-back approach. So you need to go with the flow of traffic rather than darting for gaps. If you do try to push the pace, the Santro will chide you with a slow and slightly jerky shift and not much acceleration. Once you do start driving the Santro AMT the way it wants you to, you will be rewarded with a fairly smooth experience with very little head nod compared to the other AMTs. Moreover, the Renault KWID AMT does not get any option to shift the gears manually. The AMT is developed by Renault itself. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. As a new buyer which one is better, KWID AMT or Santro Sportz?
  • SANTRO
  • Selecting between the Renault KWID and Hyundai Santro would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the powertrain options, features required, maintenance costs, etc. The KWID would be a good option of you are looking for a value for money offering with attractive styling, long list of features, and easier driving traits. On the other hand, the Santro offers smooth and more powerful engine option, quality interiors, supple ride quality and well-equipped variants. Moreover, if you'll be driving more in heavy city traffic then we suggest you to opt for Automatic Transmission which are easier to use and more comfortable for the driver, while Manual Transmission vehicles are less expensive more involved & are more fun to drive on highways. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership..Read More: - Hyundai Santro vs Renault KWID
