Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.
“Best entry level car for nepali… but nepali never see a quality… Resell value xaina vanxan ani kindainan….”
“Can you guide me on the buying process? Did you get it from recondition or directly from owner? Did you get it checked by a mechanic or company's service center? Would you suggest Atto 1 to a new driver (no road experience but has a driving license)?”
“Kwid lete hi Engine guard jarur lagwa lena. Kwid mai Oil sump / oil pan (jaha engine oil rehta hai) Plastic ka diya hua hai.metal ka nahi — aur ye niche se lagne par crack / toot jaata hai.”
“We have Kwid 1.0. It has covered 1.60 lac kms. No issue till date. Very good mileage, ground clearance and pick up. It's a great budget car.”
“We bought this car in 2016 driven 1,20,000+ km till now overall experience is good just build quality is the issue.”
“I have driven it 2.25 lakh kms in 7 years.and beleive me it was a gem of engine.after 2.25 lakh kms engine was butter smooth as new.not a single rupee was spend on the engine.even service centre guys were shock everytime when I go for service.but the build quality was extremely poor.”
The 184 mm clearance handles rough roads well, and features like ESP and hill hold add confidence.
The Kwid’s design... stands out in its segment, and its efficient 1.0-litre petrol engines provide adequate performance for city commutes.
