The 1000cc Kwid will basically rival 1.0-litre models of the Alto and Eon. However, it could also leave a dent on the sales of the Datsun Redi Go and Chevy Spark.

The new 1.0 model of Kwid looks almost the same as the current 0.8-litre model. However, it does get new side decals and silver finish ORVMs. The AMT models will also get an ‘Easy-R’ badge.
