The French carmaker has had a pretty good entry into the Indian market with the Duster SUV, but now sales have again started to slow down because of the competition. So it looks like Renault now has another trick up its sleeve in the form of the newly revealed Kwid. This entry-level hatchback looks very impressive indeed and it will compete in the 3-4 lakh segment, which means it will take on car giants Maruti-Suzuki and the Korean car maker Hyundai.
The Kwid will come with a three-cylinder 800cc engine that will be able to deliver around 60bhp. The car is also expected to come with a 5-speed manual transmission and there might even be an optional automatic transmission. The Kwid certainly does impress in terms of performance but it definitely looks very attractive. We will have to wait and see just how well the car will do in India. It is slated for a launch at the end of 2015.
