As the name indicates, the car will get a 1.0-liter engine that is expected to generate over 75PS of power. It will give a tough fight to the cars, such as Alto K10 and Eon 1.0. Now, let's take a look over the specifications and features of both the models.
The Renault Kwid 1.0 is packed with an all-new 1.0 Sce (Smart Control efficiency) engine, having DOHC and four valves per cylinder. As of now, the power and torque specifications of this engine are not introduced. The engine is featured with a five-speed manual gearbox as well as the expected five-speed AMT.
