A Hatchback For The People – The Renault Kwid
Whether you are on the look-out for an entry-level hatchback to get you to and from your inner-city job, or need a reliable car to get your small family around, the Renault Kwid should feature at the top of your list. Here are a few reasons why the newly facelifted Kwid is so popular with savvy South African auto enthusiasts:
Plenty of Creature Comforts
The Renault Kwid might be an entry-level hatchback, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks in terms of bells and whistles. Owners can look forward to a striking interior that features a user-friendly digital instrument cluster, a sporty steering wheel, central- and side air vents, as well as a floor console with two beverage holders.
It also comes standard with a DIN radio with FM/AM tuner, Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free calls, USB port, AUX-in port and 12V power socket. Not to mention electric power steering, front power windows, aircon, and trip computer. That’s a lot of bang for your automotive buck!
It’s Super Safe
When you are out and about exploring the world, and getting to where you need to be, knowing you’re safe goes a long way to paving the way for confident adventuring. This is why the Renault Kwid comes to the party with an amazing host of safety features, including:
- Airbag – Driver and Front Passenger
- ABS + EBD
- Rear Park Distance Sensors
- Reverse Parking Camera
- Engine immobilizer
- High mounted stop lamp
- High Safety Pro-Sense Front Seat Belts
- Seat Belt Reminder
Fuel-Efficiency!
At this point, every South African motorist has to take fuel efficiency seriously. This is why the Kwid consistently comes out tops – it’s a car that has SUV stylings without the higher fuel consumption. Manual models offer 4.7 l/100 km, while automatic models come in at 4.4 l/100 km.
Easy To Own
Clever motorists know that the vehicle loan repayments to the bank are only the start of the expenses associated with owning and maintaining a car. Fortunately, the Kwid comes with one-year’s worth of comprehensive insurance, a two-year/30 000 km service plan, as well as a five-year/150,000 km warranty.
