Renault has upped the safety quotient of the Kwid with the update. The carmaker now offers ELR seatbelts at the rear right from the base variant onwards. While these seatbelts allow better protection of rear occupants in case of a collision by preventing them from falling forward, the Kwid still misses out on front airbags and ABS, two basic features we now expect as standard in every car no matter how affordable it is. The STD variant doesn’t even feature a power steering or AC, though there is a heater. With most of the essential features missing, we wouldn’t recommend this variant to buyers, although you do get a relatively spacious cabin and a 300-litre boot with this hatchback. Renault also doesn’t offer the Kwid in Fiery Red or Outback Bronze shade in this variant.
