Renault Kwid Vs Maruti Alto 800 Comparo: Is The Kwid Worth The Quid?
Buying a car in recent times has been an easy task. As soon as a person starts earning, the banks are behind him to offer a loan to buy a car.
So, in the entry level segment, the Maruti Alto has been on the top of the list as India's best selling car for a very long time, only to be beaten by its sibling, the Swift Dzire. But it has regained its position on the top of the list.
Another car that is a potential threat to the Alto's reign is the Renault Kwid. The Kwid promises a big package for a very affordable price.
So, is the Renault Kwid worth your quid? Let's find out comparing both the cars' pricing, features, design, engine specification and safety:

Verdict:
The Renault Kwid looks better, has more features, packs a powerful engine and returns very good fuel efficiency. The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 will face tough competition against the Kwid, however, Maruti's wide spread service network could make a difference since it will make owning and servicing the car a hassle free job. So to pick the best of the two—my quid will be spent on the Kwid!
