    May 23, 2016 Faulty fuel meter, pathetic average, car non- responsive on ghat/steep slopes, engine not tuning not upto the mark

    I took my Renualt Kwid RxT O delvery in the last week of Feb 2016. Below is my list of complaints for the GenNext Dealer (Andheri - west)

    1. The car was delivered with no fuel in the tank. The car stopped in the middle of the road (just 2kms form the showroom. My house is 4km form the showroom). The showroom didnt even bother to give enough fuel to drive 5kms. The sales person Mr. Vaibhav Rane was unapologetic and I had to get fuel from the nearest petrol pump. This is my first car and the pathetic sales service runied my experience. What kind of a dealer cant give 5 litres of fuel in the car ? Really pathetic service from GenNext motors and Renault. Totally unacceptable.

    2 The fuel meter is faulty. After I fill the tank upto the brim, the car only runs 200 kms, which when you calculate comes to the fuel efficieny of 10 km/litre if we assume the fuel tank capacity of 20 litres. But the manual says tank capacity is 28 litres so the fuel effciency is even less and I am ashmaed to calculate.

    3. The car literally is out of power on gentle ghats, let alone steep ghats. While driving from Mumbai to Lonavala / Pune the car literally refused to move on the Khandala ghat ( we were 4 adults in the car). It was a real effort to take the car past this gentle ghat. I cant imagine what will happen on more steep ghats. Although Kwid is sold as a city car, it should be able to perform well on highways and ghats. Alto 800 / Tata Nano drive very well on these ghats.

    4. The clutch pedal is too hard and often causes unexpected bursts of power or powerlessness in traffic. The car is totally unpredictable and needs to driven with utmost care. A global company like Renault is expected to atleast get the engine - clutch - accelerator tuning right for its car. Maruti / Tata / Hyundai have done a tremendous job with their small cars but Renault has failed in getting the basics right. I shall not recommend Kwid to anyone as there are many good cars available within the same price range now ( Tata Tiago, Alto 800 etc)

    5. Design fault - there is gap between the headlight and the front bumpers where water accumalates and destroys the paint. The comapny needs to find a solution quickly for this. There are many such gaps in the body of hte car where water accumalates and turns the paint white.

    6. Last but not the least - I booked my car for 4.5 lacs and at the time of delivery I was told the prices have increased and you will need to pay 20 thousand extra. Utterly unprofessional and cheap tactics by the company and the dealer which could not even provide enought fuel to drive 5 kms.

    Thumbs down to the a sub-standard product and pathetic on- boarding service.

    May 19, 2016 KWID RXT- WORST CAR

    Bought Kwid RXT 3 days back from Trident Motors -Jayanagar , have driven 260 Kml till now only and I am scared to drive furthur.

    Major Complaints .

    1. Burning Smell from the engine- Day 1
    2. Left sound system is not working
    3. Very poor Pickup- The car is literally out of breath in humps,uphill, slope.
    4. Guys this car is very risky to drive in the city especially during signals - there is poor pick up in the car and is very disturbing for the following traffic.
    5. Brakes are not very responsive and have to be pressed completely to get proper effect.

    Car pickup and mileage
    Since few months especially in heavy traffic with AC ON in the first & second gears the engine doesn’t respond & the vehicle doesn’t move even we press the accelerator, this is really frustrating and irritates me as the vehicle doesn’t move, this is not only causing inconvenience to me but to other people who are behind my vehicle also gets struck in the traffic along with me, this is really an embarrassing situation which I can’t even explain you.

    1 And sometimes with AC ON in the traffic, the engine vibrates very badly.

    2. Not getting proper mileage in the city condition.I am getting mileage of only 11 kmpl

    3. When i complaint about this - local dealer / service center guys; they did some sort of program upgrade. I saw the issue was little bit gone but not fully . I still see the problem.

    4. And here is most imp issue - Climbing - 4-5 feet slope( not very sharp); Even alto can climb easily without rolling backward. However KWID - its scary.

    I have been using this car since oct 2015. I am plan to sale it now..

    BBC Top Gear Review

    Small cars sell. Maruti alone sells more than 30,000 small cars every month. India is the biggest market in the world for this segment. The Maruti Alto has, so far, been the unchallenged master. In over a decade of it being on sale, no other car has been able to steal its thunder.

    This, the Renault Kwid, is possibly the Alto's worst nightmare. A car that'll give Maruti's little wonder a real run for its money.
    The first impression when you get inside the Kwid is that you don't feel this is an entry-level compact car. It feels like a much bigger car. The plastics feel all right. Not great, but better than what you'd expect at this price. It's got features that no other car in the segment offers - a multimedia system with satnav, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, front power windows, on-board trip computer, and a gear shift indicator.

    Space is unlike anything we've seen in this segment. The front seats are pretty comfortable, and at the rear, there's ample leg space, too. The rear seats lack under-thigh support, though. The boot, at 300 litres, is the biggest amongst all small cars. In fact, it's even bigger than the i20's. There are plenty of cubbyholes - you get two glove boxes, big door pockets and enough space in the centre console.

    See more pictures of the Renault Kwid

    Under the hood is a brand-new engine developed specially for the Kwid. It's a three-pot unit that displaces 799cc. Power output is 53bhp, and torque is rated at 72Nm. But, despite the numbers seeming low on paper, there's adequate power. Power delivery is linear, and short gearing on the five-speeder makes things sweeter while driving in the city. Throws on the gear are short, and shift quality is decently smooth.

    The Kwid rides well. Renault has taken into account horrible Indian road conditions and set up the car rather well. Potholes are tackled with ease and bumps are filtered out well, unless they're really deep ones. The rear suspension is softly-sprung. The downside of the soft suspension and high ground clearance of 180mm is the body roll. There's plenty of it, more than what you'd expect from a car this size.

    The steering is ultra-light. That helps manoeuvre it through tight city spaces and while parking, but when you're doing highway speeds, you need to keep correcting it constantly. It gets a bit tiring. That said, at higher speeds, the Kwid feels much more stable than the Alto.
    The Kwid is a nice-looking thing. The SUV-inspired design and overall styling makes you want it more than the Alto or the Eon. Sharp creases on the hood give it a muscular look. The cladding along the sides and around the back reinforces that appearance.

    Renault will go extremely aggressive on the pricing. For all the SUV-like styling, all the features and a new engine and platform, the car you see here, in its top spec, will cost Rs 3.53 lakh. And, if you opt for the base variant, it'll be yours for just Rs 2.57 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi). That's great value for your buck.


    It's certainly the biggest threat there ever has been to the Alto. And, the Kwid delivers what it promises. The only thing that we think the Kwid could do with is ABS on the top-end, and the brakes can do with a bit more bite. But overall, it's brilliant; a real bargain.

    The numbers
    799cc, 3cyl, petrol, 53bhp, 72Nm, 5M, LxWxH: 3679x1579x1471, Ground clearance: 180mm, wheelbase: 2242mm, boot capacity: 300 litres, weight: 660kg, claimed fuel efficiency: 25.17kpl, Price: Rs 2.57 - 3.53 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)

    The verdict
    The best in its segment. High ground clearance, responsive engine and spacious cabin make it an excellent package.

    the most of the comments in this thread are like that, read and understand not very direct but surely they mean it

    they generalize all indian cars as huchakku without even owning one

    I never lied about anything. this is my humble Renault KWID thread

    still dont understand why do you guys discuss Japanese cars here :P:P:P:P

    Oh come on, don't be ungrateful. If people didn't discuss same priced jap cars here the thread would never be on the first page of EK for this long.

    And the reason to discuss Japanese vehicles here is to make sure potential KWID buyers take an informed decision on whether to go for the KWID or to not go for the KWID. (or any Indian - made vehicle for that matter)

    When it comes to Japanese cars in the same price range, they are:

    1. Safer than the KWID
    2. Comfier than the KWID
    3. Powerful than the KWID
    4. Looks better than KWID (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder tho)
    5. Handles better than KWID
    6. Roomier than the KWID
    7. Acceleration (pickup) is better than the KWID
    8. Comes atleast with basic options such as PW. mirror/PW. Windows unlike the KWID
    9. Fuel Economy is more or less the same
    10. Maintenance cost would be little higher than the KWID
    11. Doesn't depreciate like an Indian vehicle; 75% of the time you can sell the vehicle with a profit

    12. Atleast 10 - 12 years older than the KWID
    13. Vehicle should be thoroughly inspected by the authorized agent or an reliable third party before buying

    These facts should be discussed for the sake of the potential carbuyer; that's exactly what we're doing here :yes:
