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.

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...

Kia seltos! The Technological Marvel!

Kia Seltos! The Name might not be that flashy back then but now its the segment best seller and for an SUV that looks very stylish inside and out needs a bit more explanation on what it has and what it offers as well. Kia Seltos is the first vehicle that was launched in India and one must obey that the adds they were showing in recent times on stunning Kia designs are very true and if anyone doesn't obey it then they must look at the Kia Seltos. 1.Design: I thought about engines but the design caught my eye.

The All LED lighting will help Kia in many ways because of the way they are adapting to their futuristic ideas and the vertical DRL's are unique in style and more ...

The Interior plastic quality, infotainment system, steering mounted controls and also the cluster does look good and the MID screen provides info about the car and also the interiors and exteriors do wow customers even now.
