The Renault Kwid is powered by a highly efficient 1.0-litre Smart Control Efficiency (SCe) petrol engine, specifically designed to offer an optimal balance between performance and fuel economy. This three-cylinder engine produces 68 PS of power and 91 Nm of torque, making it perfectly suited for navigating dense urban traffic while maintaining low operating costs. Its lightweight construction contributes to a high power-to-weight ratio, ensuring the car remains agile and responsive during city commutes.
Drivers can choose between a standard 5-speed manual transmission or the convenient 5-speed Easy-R AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). The AMT variant features a unique dash-mounted rotary dial, which simplifies driving by removing the need for a clutch pedal. With a fuel efficiency rating of approximately 22 km/l, the Kwid remains one of the most economical entry-level hatchbacks for the Indian market in 2026.
