The main sales market for the new model is said to be Asia. The new model will also be assembled at the Indian plant in the state of Tamil Nadu.
For the local market, the model is priced at $4.7 thousand. The KWID is expected to compete with Maruti Alto, Hyundai Eon, and Chevrolet Spark. In the future, deliveries to other global markets are possible.
The car uses the same architecture as Datsun for its new model with the index I2. In terms of design, the KWID resembles its predecessor, the concept of the same name that was presented in 2014.
The KWID features a large ground clearance of 180 millimeters and additional plastic body protection. The car is only 3.68 meters long and 1.58 meters wide.
The hatchback's powertrain is a three-cylinder 0.8-liter gasoline engine. Its characteristics have not yet been reported. It is known that the engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission or an "automatic."
