It generates 54 Bhp of power along with 72 Nm of Torque and is mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox. The car is based on an all-new CMF-A Platform which is very light because of which the Kwid gets a very good Power to Weight ratio.

The Kwid might be the baby Renault but looks big and aggressive, courtesy to the borrowed elements from the Duster.
