"Renault South Africa has until very recently indicated the small Indian-built Kwid with its puny 800cc power unit is not earmarked for local consumption.
However, news that the Kwid will soon be available with a 1-litre three-cylinder engine (good for 52kW and 91Nm of torque), plus the fact that it’s now Renault India’s best-seller, with more than 50 000 bookings garnered in a month and over 5000 sold per month, it seems they have changed their minds.
The funky-looking mini-crossover is now certainly being considered, they confirmed, for possible local introduction before the end of the year.
Based on Renault-Nissan’s CMF-A platform and built in Chennai the Kwid will slot in just under the Sandero and Clio in Renault’s local line-up.
In India it’s powered by Renault-Nissan’s brand new, compact 779cc three-cylinder SCe (Smart Control efficiency) petrol motor delivering 40kW and 72Nm of torque mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
With a base weight of only 660kg its claimed fuel consumption is only 3.3 litres/100km, but with the bigger mill (similar to that used in the latest Twingo and the newly introduced smart fortwo and forfour) it will probably be in the region of 4 litres/100km.
According to Indian reports the Kwid will also receive an automatic transmission later this year, probably only available for the 1-litre model. It remains to be seen whether this derivative will be considered for South Africa.
A diesel derivative could also be on the cards, powered by a newly developed 1-litre three-cylinder diesel mill developed by Nissan with a power output of around 40kW and torque figure of 135Nm.
This junior oil-burner, the smallest in the global Renault-Nissan portfolio, is ostensibly also earmarked for other Nissan and Datsun products."
