Taking the Renault Kwid out of its comfort zone and in to the Indian heartland
A CITY CAR. IF YOU HAD TO TAKE THE ethos of the Renault Kwid and put it down in to three words, it would be that — a city car. You see, it’s compact and is perfect for our city’s crowded streets while simultaneously being spacious on the inside, making it great value for money. The suspension is pliant and tuned to rough it out over the horrendous roads our civic bodies leave us to tackle. All this, combined with a frugal engine means it is just that — the quintessential city car. However, at evo India, we’re not sticklers to convention and so we wanted to take the Kwid out of its comfort zone. From the urban jungle in to erm… the actual jungle. We’re going to be taking the Kwid to the Indian hinterland, to explore the country and to see how this little car holds up when it is far, far away from home.
