Renault Kwid

  • Price: INR 2.92 lakh - INR 4.93 lakh *

The next car in the list of best mileage cars in India under Rs 5 lakh is the Renault Kwid, which was the first mass-market car in the Indian auto market. Launched in 2015 as the production version of the Kwid Concept which was showcased in the 2014 Auto Expo, the Renault Kwid received positive response from Indian auto users despite the fierce competition from very formidable competitors like the Maruti Alto.

The Renault Kwid focuses quite a lot on comfort features and design. Despite its compact size, it comes with an SUV-ish appearance. The Kwid is also very well-equipped and is the only car to be packed with a touchscreen play in its segment. Currently, the Renault Kwid is offered in 12 variants; however, the top-spec variant Climber Opt should be excluded from the list of this list since it is priced at Rs 5.01 lakh. The Kwid keeps under its hood two BS6 petrol motors: 0.8-litre (54 PS/ 72 Nm) and 1.0-litre (68 PS/91 Nm). While the former is coupled with a 5-speed MT, the latter is paired with a 5-speed AMT. The fuel efficiency for the manual versions are 22.7 kmpl for the 0.8-litre engine and 21.7 kmpl for the 1.0-litre unit. In the meanwhile, the AMT version is claimed to have a fuel mileage of 22.5 kmpl. With such decent fuel mileage figures, the Renault Kwid deserves to be listed as one of the best mileage cars under Rs 5 lakh in India.
