Alto vs Renault Kwid - two major hatchbacks make up the entry-level hatchback class, one of which is more than 20 years old. The Suzuki Alto and the Renault Kwid, which have fuel-efficient engines, automated gearboxes, and a plethora of additional features in the smallest possible packages, are the two most competitive models.
Sales data reveals that Suzuki sells more Altos than Renault, but with the new Alto due to be introduced in India, the rivalry will be much more fierce. In order to examine how the 2022 Renault Kwid and Suzuki Alto compare, let’s look at their designs, measurements, and interior features.
Renault Kwid Design and Dimension vs Alto
The third-generation Suzuki Alto features an entirely new design and, for the first time, is built on the HEARTECT platform that also supports the Baleno, Ertiga, XL-6, and other Maruti Suzuki cars. The Alto receives a significant design makeover, according to spy photos so far, and borrows features from the recently released Celerio.
The 2022 Alto has updated bumpers, grilles, and headlights, and its total proportions are slightly larger than those of the current generation, giving it a roomier interior than the previous model.
The latest Kwid has a lofty posture and a more SUV-like styling. The Kwid’s squared wheel arches, high-set front end, and DRLs above the headlights give the hatchback a commanding stance on the road. The Kwid has a wheelbase of 2,422mm and measures 3,731mm in length, 1,579mm in width, and 1,474mm in height. When it comes to ground clearance, the Kwid matches SUVs at 184mm.

Alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition, navigation, a reverse camera and sensors, a digital instrument cluster, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and more distinguish the Renault Kwid from the competition.
