Renault Kwid! Did the facelift worth it?

Renault has launched their facelifted version of Kwid and the prices are starting from 2.86-4.84 lakhs which is less and more affordable than the new S Presso but more about it later.
1.Design: Design-wise there are some subtle changes like the new front grille, sharp tail-lamps, refreshed interiors and also now it gets some new blacked-out alloys to it. It also gets the DRL's now which look nice as well. Getting in we will notice the big 8.0-inch infotainment system that has both apple and android auto which is a great thing considering the price bracket it is in and also the rear seat now gets an arm-rest which is surprising. 


2. Engines: Engines are the same 0.8lit and 1.0lit petrol engines that produce 53&67bhp of power as well but the thing is that Reno hasn't announced that they are BS-6 so BS-4 only but they have added a point that Sec i.e, smart efficiency control engines to provide more mileage to a litre. This is a bit sad considering its rival S Presso offering the BS-6 petrol engines anyway if we look at it efficiency-wise then Kwid is the one that gives more mileage to a litre. Yes! It provides about 23.01 for the 25.7kmpl which is very good comparing the mileage of S Presso's.
3.Features: As mentioned above it gets a new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, new DRL's, rear arm-rest, digital cluster for data and also others like the controls for windows and space-wise it's way ahead than S Presso because Kwid offers 300lits of boot space while the S Presso offers around 250 or so. Safety is also a primary aspect in Reno as they are very good covering the basics well and also they somehow managed to get it in a price range where it can satisfy most of the customers who are new buyers.


Conclusion: Considering the price, features, safety and other parameters as well Kwid is a better purchase over the Maruti Suzuki's S Presso but if one chooses the S Presso over this one then the main reasons they could avoid Kwid is for the BS-4 engines, maybe same for some as it's a personal choice but if one needs a vehicle that has a good balance of everything at a low price then it's surely the Kwid. And the answer to the heading is yes! it's very well worth the facelift.

2020 Hyundai I20 Vs Tata Altroz! Which is better?

Tata Altroz:  Tata has launched their gold standard vehicle the Altroz recently and also they've priced it very effectively keeping the costs they've to handle with the new BS-6 engines and also offered many good features like dual horn, ambient lighting, part digital and part analog cluster, comfortable rear seats, 90°opening doors and also for the first time a cruise control, steering mounted controls and many more like this.

Renault Duster! It had its chance.

Welcome to CarsReboot!  There are many people who love Duster for its proportions, ride quality and also the sense of space it has inside it but now it has lost its charm to some extent with its other rivals and it fell into the category of only petrol with no AWD but it still has its chance to become a bigger player if Renault could do some key changes in it. 1. Engine: The 1.5lit was a very good one but now the company has shut it due to the upcoming BS6 regulations and it now replaces both the 1.5lit Diesel and petrol with a 1.3lit petrol engine which is BS6 compliant and the power figures have changed a bit. If they really needed some strong sales then introducing a 1.5lit BS6 compliant diesel and petrol engines with auto gearboxes in both fuel options would have made it a strong seller for Renault. 2. Interiors: Many might have felt this but I intended to stress about this particular one because the interiors in Duster were not that appealing and the reason is tha
