Renault Kwid [2015-2019] User Reviews

I am not satisfied with your final KWID as product.

1 ) The mirrors that you show in yours adds, banners and real one is different even on top optional models

2 ) No door open warning.

3) No seat belt warning.

No one buys new vehicle to keep it in service station its been 2 days and am not sure when i will get my vehicle All what am hearing is that its in process. My vehicle is facing starting problem. I called in workshop the  time it happend they changed the fuse and it started and i went to party that same night , the fuse again burnt out . I changed the fuse and next went to program " KNOW YOUR KWID " . while going i smelled something buring so i stopped and called no one responded " JO HOGA DEKHA JAEGA AND WENT ON" I reached and They tested my vehicle and said your vehicle is ready and you can take it  but i was not sure so i asked for spare fuse . The senior engineer heard me and tested my vehicle and said it not starting up properly . He tested several times by tuning and again fuse burnt out. they took the starter motor out said its not load. later in evening i called they said u were right about smell it coming out of the motor.

I logged complain in their toll free 180030044444 but no mails yet. Not satisfied with your service

Hi,

I'm very much disappointed and met with an accident due to my car's break system failure. I purchase Renault Kwid 1.0 new modle on 2nd Oct, 2016. When I took my car to my hometown on our local road it's silancer started creating heavy noice. Just second day I took it to the service center and they told me that it was due to silancer's lock pins were not fixed properly. On 20th Oct. When I was going towards NH8, my car's break system stoped working and I was unable to break down the speed. I preshed the break leaver fully but still I couldnot controll the car from hitting the Ecosport car from behind. My car's bonnut got damaged and break got stuck. I couldnot move the car from the road. I called for road side assistance from Renault. Complaint no 79180 had been logged. They took the car to the service station at sec.14/ It;s been 5 days now and I havenot received any information from them. They are treating it as normale sercie call. I want my car's proper break system checkup before taking it on the road again. There is some serious problem in break system which is why it generates sound while applying the breaks. I just wanted to report the issue to the concerned department so that this issue can be rectifyed permanently. Thanks,

Ashwaini Joshi.

The first long drive of my KWID (RXT) from Sunder Nagar (HP) to Jammu (J&K) about 330km gave some amazing experiences from this small car of just 800CC with a weight of 600kg’s, worth sharing. I drove it at a speed of 90 km/hr in planes besides touching 60km/hr in curve roads on hills and still had an average of 24.42km/ltrs. Smooth drive, with an experience of highly responsive brakes, the suspension gives a sturdy feeling in curves even at a speed of 40-45km and in rough surfaces. Noise reduction in cabin gives an excellent performance of the Music System even with only two speakers. The Navigation system seems not to be fully updated but shows exact positioning of the car on the road. The only negative observation is creaking sound from brakes started appearing after a drive of about 200km’s.

Final Words Overall it seems to be a more value for the price of this segment car. 😊.

Exterior

Certainly best design so far in the segment. Creates an illusion that it is 120% of its original size when parked in isolation. Every other commuter will take a second look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The spacious feeling. Comfortable Seats and Media-Nav as add-on. A/C is upto the mark(will have to wait till summer to give it a perfect test though).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

When 4 or more on board, compulsive downshift needed but OK for a 800cc engine. Mileage not upto the mark with ARAI figures(as shown in ADs). I am getting an average mileage between 12.5 to 14 kmpl with 60% City driving and 40% highway driving A/C ON and 2 people in city and 5 people on highways. From the ARAI figures released, I expected 17(City) to 20(Highway) atleast. Gear box needs some getting used to.

Ride Quality & Handling

Small potholes and speed breakers are easily negotiable. Steering is ultra light. Significant bodyroll felt in above 90 degree corners.

Final Words

Kwid - The best Eye-Catching and Practical car

Areas of improvement  

Renault good job!! Now focus on after sale support too(new area for me as this is my first car).

Renault, a recognized name in cars across the globe, launches a new vehicle “KWID” in an attempt to capture the hatchback low cost vehicle market. Well I have to say, it is a horrible attempt. The reason for me calling it a lying machine will be evidently clear in the passage below.

I have quiet a few cars, some hatch backs some sedans some SUV’s. I have driven it all and this article is because you can do so much more with just the same amount you pay for KWID. The KWID AMT is the top model in the series.

To begin with, I purchased the vehicle from gen next Renault showroom in vashi . The ordeal begins from here. I was not interested in the look and feel of the car, I just wanted an automatic car, with great fuel efficiency, so I just called them to my office and asked them about the car. I finalized the deal, without taking a test drive based on only Two thing : The sales man said the car will be delivered in two days, and the average is 24 kmpl. I asked the sales man a hundered times and he said “Yes sir, in our AMT model the average is 24kmpl”. I believed the company and not the sales man, I agreed to pay 50 thousand as booking amount.

On the date of delivery I am told that it is not possible, the sales man and his manager come to my office and the sales man tries to put false claims on me. Rather than fighting back, I withdrew my booking and told them I will be happy to cancel my booking. That charged them up and they delivered it the next day.

Later they wanted to charge me 1.5 % extra. Why?Because I paid with my credit card. Local electronic vendors and people who started using the swipe machine after the note ban do this. I did not expect a company like Renault to do this. I told them this is unethical, and I again wanted to withdraw my booking and that is when they cancelled the extra 1.5 % charge.

I took a drive when my car was delivered. The interiors are wore than a S.T bus , the system was making some noise. It has only a single wiper, just like an auto rickshaw. But I had no problems with it because the car had an average of 24kmpl.

So that weekend I took the car and to test its mileage I took a local drive with a full tank. 28 liters of fuel would last at least for 672 kms as per the company claims. Even if I consider an average of 18 kmpl it should last 504 kms. Well to my dismay the fuel tank dropped to almost the end, only 250 kms from Mumbai.

If you want to waste your money, KWID is the answer. If you want to annoy your enemies with a costly gift, KWID is the answer. I have just driven it for 300kms and I willingly want to sell it off for 4.8 lacs, a lac for just using it for 300 kms. 
For me KWID is a QUIT.

Exterior Looks well but height is not that much that its looks expected.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good and need to impove abit, the system that is given with it its very slow.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Miileage is very poor its not getting over 10kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb quality and great ride,i am happy with its ride quality, very stable in high speed also.

Final Words I got the car on 30th of dec,i have driven the car  463 km but mileage is 9.2, I tried alot to drive it on 25 kmpl as it show on time mileage indicator but still its not getting over 10 in city condition. Even when I got the car delivered it shows mileage 12kmpl but the car came from highway to the showroom in early morning but still its not giving poper mileage. Otherwise its a good car. All is well but mileage is very bad.

Areas of improvement Mileage IS VERY POOR, I am not satisfied.

Exterior

Best In class, SUV Looks are stunning, Accessories make it more interesting

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Best In class, Very good leg room, GPS, Infotainment System. Touch screen system is same as duster , lodgy. Back seat un retractable seat belts are ugly. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 800 CC Engine is poor, Need atleast 1 Litre. 24 KMPL Highway, 16 KMPL in city driving, Avg 19 -20.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb Ride Quality & Handling, 180 mm is much needed. It's a breeze to drive in city traffic. Best driven below 100 KMPH

Final Words A true value for money, Go for it. After first service engine is much smoother & tractable, that hesitancy to move at lower rpm is no longer present. There aren't any unnecessary noises from anywhere, & it had been through some rough paths. Handling is brilliant at higher speeds as only recently i took it above 80 kmph. We never experienced any substantial body roll even at swerves with full load, also it felt well planted at those speeds during braking

Areas of improvement 1 Litle Engine, ABS, Airbags for passenger, Internal adjustable ORVMs, Auto retractable seatbelts.

Exterior The best part bof the car is its looks and its so excellent. It turns the eyebrows of most when passby.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its have enough space for the family of 4 + my 5 year old kid. Had a very large boot for a big vacation. Media nav system is good for listening music, but only 2 audio output is given as default means only 2 front speakers only will do. No option given for the rear speakers, though you can take a tap off with a low watt additonal speakers. Maps is not so good as google maps especially out of city or town. Ha s lot of storage in and sround front, but Upper glove box is lock is the worst which i have replaced twice, still creating the same proble, might be a inherent design issue. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is as expected for a 799CC engine. It easily touches 100 KM mark with a little push of throttle, 4 onboard with AC on. But above 110-120 it Lags as expected. We need to understand that we cannot use kwid for highway car racing, but a comfotable family ride is very much possible. Gear shifting is smooth. The very important part is its milage. Its very much depends on your driving style and driving condition. Follow the digital instrument advice for gear shifts, i bet you will get a much better milage. Before 1st service, it was 19 km/l (AC on, Mostly highway and occasionally city ride). After 1st service, digital display says 20.3 km/l (Approximately 21 km/l using tank fill to tank fill).

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is the better aspect of KWID nad you will feel like a king (or Queen). Its easy to manuware and power steering is so excellent and lite. Will face a bit of problems while overtaking, you cant raise Mr.Kwid as fast from low speed in high gear. You have to reduce the gear and pickup speed, thats how its works.

Final Words Beeing its my first vehicle and after a lot of research work, i opted KWID and its not made me to regret. Guys, if you are all looking for value for your money with a decent vehicle who can move your family with at most comfort, you can go for it. Those who are looking for a 1200cc performance for below 4 lacks, please wait for some more time (I dont know who will come up with the vehicle).

Areas of improvement Passenger safety (Duel airbags), improvements in rear seat seat belts, upper glove box lock, idling vibration reduction.

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.
