1-eon / 2nd-Alto / 3rd-Kwid

[@patricktristao9906]

LOL Man, here on Brazil, the Kwid doesn't have that lack of power that the indian version has. In fact, it comes with 4 airbags and has a 3 star rating on Latin NCAP. My Kwid has a 1.0L SCe engine, with 9,8 pound-meters of torque, while having 70 HP, still being very economic. With gasoline, 100kph, 5th gear, the car did 22 km with 1L of fuel. It's really economic, ergonomic, safe, eyecatching and somewhat comfortable, though I would disagree with you guys on the steering wheel lightness. It is just awesome at civic course and on the highway. BTW, the car is criticized for being too small on the back. Three adults can't ride confortably on the back seat. Anyways, thanks for the comparison and keep up with the good quality vídeos. Cheers from Brazil!

[@STATUTORIALS]

I have a kwid and eon, both are good externally but eon is focused on aesthetics inside and kwid being like sporty inside

[@seshakv]

Remember the famous war Maruti wagon r vs Matiz vs Santro... All those are passing clouds Maruti stays forever. Kwid or ion might have more space. But it's finally the overall performance , maintenance , trust and resale value that counts. Hats off to maruti alto. It's trust and peace if mind that does matter a lot

[@sheikbsm8407]

I Would like to share few things thru my point of View Maruti Pros: It has the good reliable engine and Nationwide Service Support The design of the car is very old design. The Interior is not up to the mark Kwid : Pros : SUV look Design Engine seems to be noisy and if you sit inside the u can feel the poor plastic quality Eon Pros Fludic Modern Design, Space inside the car And the Interior is Just Wow Premium Everywhere Gear could be smoother I would prefer Eon and the car is Awesome

[@veereshsangolliV12]

i won the eon the old one, i think its the best, looks awesome is good for city use and will give really good mileage! the only problem for me with the eon is the gearbox! the 800s is so smooth! i havent driven the kwid so idk much about it! i still think the eon with the kappa engine is the best car for ctiy use!

[@subbiahpalani]

The content quality has really gone up! Great job guys! The video looks well thought out and decisive rather than those one during the elantra launch ad OMG! Autocar india love what you doing and keep what you doing!

[@barnalagoodscarrier6091]

eon is the best car

[@mayanknagarvlog2485]

Good

[@HARIRAMremo1532]

Never doubted the kwid :)

[@rhlbhole]

I somewhere feel like alto is a good decent Guy who always got ditched by a girl. (you are nice, you are decent but i just don't want you :P )

[@jayman7037]

Alto is not decent, but pretends to be until the marriage is sealed. After that it will nag you to death and its true, uncouth nature will be exposed.

[@rohanagarwal6848]

rhlbhole bro i have driven alto k10 and seriously its performance is very very peppy

[@vanyatripathi1895]

The sales figures show another picture.. :P

[@DugguDesai]

you're first car has to be a 800...... It isn't a car it's a way of life

[@avikchatterjee007]

+Durgesh Desai not anymore dude.

[@msec109]

I feel there is no need to focus on bluetooth and touch screen. Airbags, seat adjustment, mirrors, space etc.are features which a car owner would care more.

[@amazingkids7365]

Following your channel from so many years, never disappointed...

[@A2ZcLIp]

No one can beat suzuki small capacity petrol engines.....No One

[@avikchatterjee007]

Autocar will you please give the torque figures in Nm, atleast in brackets along with Kgm? everybody mainly uses Nm.

[@hussainshekh9]

Eon is the best among these.....there r lack of service centers for kwid and I highly doubt about its safety because of its extra light weight and I heard this car has engine problem....and most of people sell this car after using year or twice so....by looks,engine performance, mileage , space(not bigger than kwid) it's best choice and yeah the main thing the trust of Hyundai...

[@sidz0001]

Well santro xing will be most refined and best among all though being discontinued ...

[@karthikmanikoth8180]

SidXing I have a santro xing its jery car

[@gautamjayakishan9614]

My grandfather has maruti suzuki zen

[@MrVineethkrishnan]

Interesting video.. pls which one is better for a long drive.

[@errrorrr9139]

i wish renault would offer abs with the kwid :(

[@VinodDhavle]

Good comparison. Kwid is the game changer in this segement.

[@ribatlangmakri5319]

I regret buying alto 800, it's not good at all, i bought eon in 2012 and it's still good till 2018 also, no issue nothing but always as smooth as when it was new.

[@Dad-yo6eg]

I love these comparisons

[@karanverma1696]

Thanks Renuka and Kartikeya for making such a nice video. And a lot more thanks for detailing about kwid, I am on for the kwid now!

[@jitenkrai]

Please advise which one is best to buy value for money car as per the mileage, cost of maintenance/spare parts, handling, space and lowest ownership cost etc - Redigo, Kwid or recently launched new Maruti Alto 800

[@urmilabiswas3653]

Plz tell me which is best for home kwid/alto

[@ponygt6629]

Pity on Maruti,despite being in India for over 30 years Maruti is still giving Indian consumer a car thats structurally not even stable as a telephone booth, such a pity, they never care about lives but more about money Kwid,Eon are products that are born due to Alto being so dead cheap and un safe makes other brands too think, Y make safe cars for India when best seller isnt even scooter crash safe

[@karthiknaik3944]

+Ponygt 662 you think any car in that range is safe? :D its really not what can you really expect at that price

[@ponygt6629]

Karthik Naik No car in that price range is safe because the biggest seller is not safe, remember all other brands are taking safety for granted in that segment because Maruti dosent car em then why should others? I say Maruti is the brand thats been in India for over 30 years and should it be the 1 to show other brands how to build safe cars? Should it b the brand that should b able to make safe cars in that segment with over 30 years of experience? Instead its brands like Ford,VW thats teaching lessons and taking the pain of less sales to make Indian car buyer better, pity on Maruti

[@karthiknaik3944]

Ponygt 662 LOL no then why dont VWs ,Fords etc overtake Maruti whereas Renault and Hyundai have posed threats in terms of sales Subpar cars are subpar, if you think VW and Ford are better, you are delusioned, they have issues of their own you want to feel safe,buy a truck Also some Marutis now have Airbags and ABS as standard, your arguement is invalid

[@mash18mash]

+Ponygt 662 absolutely agree with you mate... Kudos to Ford and VW

[@ponygt6629]

Karthik Naik U r the fool who runs away from facts, still not able to explain Y a pathetic brand like Maruti is building same car diffefntly, pathetic for India and good for Europe and U still say they are better brands than Ford, VW, Enjoy ur unsafe Maruris and Hyundai craps, also there js good news, Hyundai i10 with 2 airbags scored 1 star rating in ANCAP testing, wow,..1star, And this is Utube, I dont need to show my english prowess here U turd.

[@kanekaab]

kwid by far the best car in its segment ..

i drive this 3 cars ... but i like alto 800.... Alto 800 engine is powerful

[@mdysha]

Any chance to back to race Chevy beat please notify me

[@geekvk1816]

Best car is wagon r totally paisa vasul car its so much spacious outside it might look its very big car but when you get use to it you all fall in love

[@ndgprasad]

agreed but its one segment above car. wagonor looks bad but very practical car for middle class family

[@karthiknaik3944]

Very true, at 4.5L on road for a fully loaded top of the line AMT , the Wagon R is a great car

[@geekvk1816]

+Devi Guru Prasad Narkedamilli important is interior just modify are you buying for yourself or for people ,I have modify my wagon r in this way whole black interior black seat,dashboard and 2 screen attached for back seat entertainment and best part is it comes with two option in 1 car use LPG in cities which is very cheap to drive and if you need power switch to petrol and best thing there is no cylinder in boot

[@aakashsrivastav1087]

+Karthik Naik plz chk the prices again bro.

[@karthiknaik3944]

Aakash Srivastav I dont need to, my friend bought one just 2 weeks ago took delivery with him myself

[@filmemotion618]

which is best car

[@indraindian8857]

Our alto 800 is giving 28 kmpl in highway and 25 in city

[@varshapandey9908]

Which is best

[@MaheshSharma-zs7jt]

Very practical car. And honestly, aren’t we all bored of the same old Alto and Eon? I am not saying that they are bad cars, but isn’t it good to see something fresh? Kwid has the potential to break some records.

[@jayman7037]

Wise words.

[@deepakgm7235]

That 60k extra bucks gives a lot of options to upgrade stuff on the kwid. The looks are really awesome and it has indeed shaken the segment. It is no longer going to be how Maruti treated segments saying "this is what I give take it or leave it". Out of the three, Kwid is miles ahead.

[@karthiknaik3944]

+Deepak GM you forgot engine Kwid is seriously underpowered of the 3 and it also has some quality control issues the test vehicle I drove was brand new but still the AC knobs etc were already loose

[@AbhishekKumar-fo1qf]

+Karthik Naik yeah man.. the kwid engine is a serious concern.. hope they fix it in the next update..

[@karthiknaik3944]

Abhishek Kumar yeah if they give it a 1.0 Turbo engine or a 1.3 diesel with better quality interiors, its a sure shot hit

[@jayman7037]

Sir. All three are under powered, but the Kwid has the best power output as well as the best power to weight ratio among the three. All completely new models suffer from some initial quality issues and manufacturers iron them out . If the Kwid breaks you can fix it, but how can you fix the severe space constraints of the Alto/Eon and their awful styling.

[@urmilabiswas3653]

Which is best for family kwid/alto plz tell me

[@jsmaker4553]

Alto

[@sudhanshu883]

have u test renault kwid on hilly roads????

[@indiancreativemind5042]

Fir ye dono bus se wapas aynge 🤣

[@akbarraza353]

Kwid amt coming soon. Will only increase its sales.

[@travelwithaash]

Renault kwid climb or racer (2016 models) with alto k10 (2016) update soon plz

[@kaihtheloner]

Those are just at the concept stage. The Easy-R (AMT) variant will be launched by mid 2016, but it'll be some time before we can hope of seeing those two concepts on the road.

[@KalpeshPatel78]

+aashrith kumar the styling on those cars was amazing. I wish they would've launched those in the market. I don't mind paying a whole lakh extra for that.

[@karthiprakash53]

I have both the alto 800 vxi and eon they both r always the winners

[@jayman7037]

+karthi prakash We lose because our roads look ugly with them . Please keep them parked and we all win.

[@pranavkamdi8458]

With the entry of Tiago buying these cars doesn't make sense unless ur a very very tight on budget alto is a sensible choice

[@avikchatterjee007]

Kartikeya Singhee is the best Indian car reviewer on KZbin IMO.

[@VS_Gamer84]

All three scored 0 star rating in NCAP crash test.... 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂

[@jobinjose7166]

I like this review, I have a Kwid....

[@VaibhavRakshe]

whats up with torque figures in kgm? They are neither Nm nor lb-ft. N-m is metric system and everyone around world understands them Autocar.

[@abhishekorchard3818]

Alto Xcite long term review

[@diariosyvarios3212]

has the kwid been crash tested?

[@nandinismehndi]

dustan go plus vs vs renovalt duster ka video banavo

[@jayman7037]

At last , the Indian roads will look beautiful with more Kwids . No more gremlin or alien look alikes !!!!!!

[@paraga6399]

Kwid is the Winner..Yes, I agree with you.

[@seshakv]

Looks of a car is not a factor... Example wagon R vs others. Who thought this will survive over 15 years Similarly who thought maruti alto will survive till this day since 2000

[@salmanhaidr]

A car must have minimum of 1000cc. 800cc is not convenient

[@aryankalra4894]

eon❤❤❤

[@jsmaker4553]

Ediet

[@GaneshPilli]

Good conclusion at the end without any dump...

[@krunalpatel940]

story of electrical off road vehicle

[@abskollam]

nice review

[@manishk3740]

Is it true Kwid have manufacturing defects ? KWID have problem in Rainy season the front boot and rooftop starts leacking water ? Is it true some news channels hve covered the story

[@sriyeshkerala2904]

alto is good than kwid

[@beesalvkumar5773]

Manish K there was 2,3 cars found defects thats all. I am using kwid for 9 months and its a practical car

[@tahasaleem7890]

Manish K no recently we purchased the kwid and there is no problem and kwid is best in its segment or comparison to alto 800

[@hajaaa100]

Taha Buddy what is the price of kwid?

[@somforyou3803]

Manish K yes it is true ...water sometimes come out from AC panel in heavy rain drive .. it is a malfunction.. also the road confidence is too poor.. Alto is best out of all three

[@sheeladityabhattacharya3681]

But the kwid does not come with alloy and power window rear

[@beesalvkumar5773]

Sheel aditya Bhattacharya who said its optional 24000 for alloy 8000 for rear power window

[@soraiyarodrigues]

the Kwid is a piece of crap. Bought one in feb 2016 and broke down after 200 kms. had the car towed to the service centre wher I was informed the gear cable was broken and replacement would take one week which it did. car now has done 500 kms and city milliage is 8 km/l not the 24 Renault claim

[@salmanhaidr]

Nxt time buy a car with minimum of 1l engine.

[@RohanGNair]

Kwid is the best but I don't think Renault has the brand value and trust of Indian car buyers as much as Maruti and Hyundai

[@hari.b1696]

Super Thank u

[@KanishQQuotes]

Tiago is better than both combined Btw where is the datsun readi gi

[@sourabhmehta2793]

going to book kwid tomorrow

[@jayman7037]

You have good taste sir! Euro looks are certainly better than what Alto/Eon can deliver.

[@BirdsChannelGK]

I think eon is far better than kwid and alto

[@rajeshkumar-de9he]

which has less engine noise in all 3

[@jayman7037]

datsun Go .

[@EduGiri]

i am really confused yr among these three cars please suggest me a better one i heard that cabin noise is a major issue in kwid

[@singh64155]

rajesh kumar alto 800

[@simini2890]

Time for Indians to show maruti the exit door for selling unsafe cars trade off of mileage , please folks start demanding air bags

[@MrMihir2312]

why haven't you compared with the alto k10

[@HimanshuSharma-dw4pu]

these are 800 cc card. K10 is a 1000 cc compact.

[@hotlemonade6643]

+Himanshu Sharma Eon also have 1000cc Displacement..

[@karthiknaik3944]

Alto K10 is also not much pricier, it should have been included

[@thushariwickramage8800]

great reviwe... KWID is the winner !!!

[@RakshitVlogs]

the main things which matter for car is the engine and build quality. These two quality are lacking in kwid. So you people are believing only on looks and came to a conclusion that kwid is best.

[@jayman7037]

I don't think its only the styling - People are tired of the cramped , ugly interiors, with high rear window lines of the Alto. I know for a fact that many people get car sick travelling at the back of an Alto/Eon. Renault's quality will improve with time. Any completely new model will have initial minor quality issues. I think the Kwid is still worth it as it will certainly improve the quality of lives of the masses with its comfort levels and extra room.

[@yourskrishnasanju]

Alto 800 is the best car I Love it

[@jsmaker4553]

I agree with you

[@vishwavijay9342]

KWID ... even in your dreams!!

[@rocketlaunch99]

kwid is best hands down!

[@dineshg8890]

Kwid have more maintaince than two others
