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.
