New small car: Renault Kwid hatchback revealed

2016 Renault Kwid

The Kwid's upright front end and short front and rear overhangs provide owners with the look associated with SUVs.

The bold, structured grille design highlights the logo and further emphasises the model's SUV credentials, while the head lights incorporate the brand's new lighting signature including a 'C'-shaped chrome trim.

The slightly sculpted sides provide a fluid, dynamic touch, with the rectangular forms of the black wheel arches providing another pointer to the Kwid's SUV breeding, as well as additional protection. The lower door decor underlines the Kwid's robust character. The steeply-raked, forward-positioned windscreen lends a sense of movement and fluidity to the high waistline which rises slightly at the rear.

The large windows ensure good visibility for the driver and play a big part in travelling comfort.

At the rear, the lower part of the bumper comes with a black trim, another SUV cue. The body-coloured tailgate spoiler adds to the car's dynamic stance.
