Renault KWID Pros and Cons
KWID Advantages
Funky and muscular styling is attractive. Long features list makes it a great VFM proposition. Compact dimensions and light controls make it easy to drive in the city. New safety features. Single 1.0-litre engine option is BSVI Phase-2 compliant.
KWID Disadvantages
Engines lack punch especially out on the highway. AMT is sluggish
KWID Expert's Conclusion
The Kwid is a great first car, looks great and sports some nice features but the driving experience isn't the best.
Renault KWID Expert Review
This review is of the Kwid Climber and the Kwid AMT from 2018. Some features and impressions may have changed since this time.
The Kwid’s seen a number of changes over the years with a larger 1.0-litre engine and then an AMT being added into the mix along the way. It also featured segment firsts like a touchscreen infotainment system, digital infotainment cluster and SUV looks. This time around, though, the updates are rather small. So, let’s list out the number of changes Renault have made to the 2018 Kwid lineup.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2018.jpg?tr=w-930)
Looks
Not much has changed in the looks department with Renault adding a new chrome garnish to the top portion of the grill on the top-end Kwid and a new sticker for the side cladding on the 1.0-litre variants. The Climber that you see in the pictures has actually received no external changes at all.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2001.jpg?tr=w-930)
Interiors
The changes to the 2018 Kwid are focussed mostly on the rear passengers. There is a new dropdown armrest for the rear bench, while the RXT(O) and the Climber get a new 12V charge socket on the rear parcel tray. The other change to the rear is the addition of ELR (Emergency retractable seatbelts) or what we know as regular seatbelts for rear passengers, across the range. These replace the manually adjustable fixed seatbelts from before.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2136.jpg?tr=w-930)
At the front, the only change is to the touchscreen infotainment in the Climber and the RXT(O), that will now display feed from the new reversing camera that has also been added to the features list of the 2018 Kwid.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2133.jpg?tr=w-930)
While the space hasn’t changed, it’s manageable and a lot more comfortable for two passengers, with the addition of the rear armrest. With the addition of the rear charge socket, your kids will also love the fact that they don't have to fight you for the front charge socket to charge iPads and gaming phones. And that sums up the changes to the interior experience with the new Kwid Climber.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2177.jpg?tr=w-930)
Safety
With the new changes to the rear, the Climber has gotten a lot safer than before. Its front seatbelts feature more advanced Pro-Sense pretensioner, load limiting seatbelts and regular ELR seatbelts at the rear. It offers a driver airbag in both, the Climber and the RXT(O) but this is fairly on par for the segment, till the government decides to pass new regulations that will mandate ABS and dual airbags as standard equipment on all new cars.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2121.jpg?tr=w-930)
Driving Impressions
The addition of the creep function to the easyR transmission really compliments the drive experience. Pulling away from a standstill is a much less jerky affair and the Kwid does not lurch forward as before, when you get on the throttle. So tackling bumper-to-bumper traffic is much less stressful and novice drivers will be thankful for the update.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-4082.jpg?tr=w-930)
But that’s not the only area that has been affected with the new creep function. Gearshifts, and even getting on and off the throttle while the car is moving has become a lot smoother as well. This is because the creep function automatically adds just a hint of throttle and hence, there is much less drivetrain lash (a phenomenon that occurs when the drivetrain is loaded and unloaded) and in turn, the driving experience is all the more calmer.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-2183.jpg?tr=w-930)
The creep function, however, is not to be confused with a hill-hold function. And while the car does creep forward in traffic as advertised, it won’t do the same on an incline. You will still need to use the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling backwards as you climb away from a standstill on a slope.
![2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT 2018 Renault Kwid Climber AMT](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2018/Aug/renault-kwid-climber-rt-3916.jpg?tr=w-930)
Other than this change, the Kwid is still the easy going car it was in the city. The light steering combines well with the AMT to provide a very pleasant city driving experience. It’s still not the best highway car though as the lack of a manual override makes overtaking risky. The skinny tyres, lack of ABS and light controls don't help its high-speed stability either.

Verdict
While these changes are more like a ripple than a big wave, Renault has addressed some of the glaring omissions to the Kwid, like the manually adjustable rear seat belts and the missing creep function on the AMT. It also, again, brings buyers in this segment, firsts like the reverse parking camera and the rear armrest. When you take into consideration that Renault hasn't increased the price [Prices range between Rs 2.67 - Rs 4.59 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)], the Kwid has just become an even more youthful and attractive prospect.
