</p><p>&nbsp; The wait of the highly anticipated Renault Kwid's 1.0 litre avatar is over. <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Renault">Renault India</a></u> has launched <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Renault/Kwid">Kwid</a></u> 1.0 L. The pre-bookings of the car had already started few weeks back. The new engine is mated to only the top two variants,

RXT and RXT (O) at a price tag of&nbsp;Rs. 3.82 lakh and Rs. 3.95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively. Surprisingly, the additional cost for the engine is only Rs. 22,000. The delivery will commence from the 1st week of &nbsp;the next month.</p><p>&nbsp; Exterior design of the car is identical to the outgoing 800cc variant, except for few minor changes. The new one gets two tone silver finished ORVMs and decal of black and white checkered strip on the lower door panels with the '1.0' badge. All the dimensions and other design elements are left unchanged. Into the cabin, interiors remain the same. The quality of the materials is not bad. This variants are equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system that houses GPS navigation system. The variants are also packed with some basic features like digital instrument cluster, cabin lighting with timer and fade out, central air-vents with chrome knobs etc.</p><p>&nbsp; Under the hood, the car is stuffed with a 999 cc three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 67 BHP @ 5500 RPM with a peak torque of 91 Nm @4250 RPM. This power unit is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. An AMT unit will join the line-up in future. For safety, we're afraid to say there isn't much except driver airbag which comes in RXT (O) variant only. 

Sadly, ABS and co-passenger airbag aren't offered even as optional features. 

However, Kwid has high safety pro-sense front seat belts with load limiters. The 800 cc version of Kwid proved very successful model for the company now let see how far this 1.0-L Kwid can go.</p><p></p>
