The Kwid has sold over 100,000 cars since its launch about a year ago. The AMT variant is priced Rs 30,000 more than the Kwid 1 MT litre version.
The Renault Kwid AMT comes with an Easy-R Gear Box - an all-new 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) technology.
Easy-R Gear Box: A clutch free driving experience that combines the fuel economy and performance of a manual transmission with the convenience of automated gear shifting. The Innovative Shift Control Dial with three modes Reverse – Neutral - Drive has been designed for ease of use. An advanced control unit automatically optimizes gear shifting in accordance with driving conditions for smooth and regular acceleration to offer a comfortable and stress-free driving experience.
The Easy-R gear box can be operated with an innovative shift control dial that will be positioned below the infotainment system on the centre console. The car will have an advanced throttle control unit that would monitor the throttle input by optimising acceleration and gear shifting.
The power of the Renault Kwid AMT comes from a new one litre Smart Control Efficiency (SCe) engine with four valves per cylinder and Double Over Head Camshaft (DOHC) arrangement. It will deliver 67hp of maximum power and peak torque of 91Nm@4,250rpm, with fuel efficiency of 24.04 kmpl.
