The base variant of the Kwid misses out on an AC and power steering.

This is the base variant of the Kwid and as most base variants go, the exterior gets black bumpers and steel wheels. On the inside, there is a single-tone dashboard, internal boot release, grey seat upholstery and a heater. An AC is not offered while the digital instrument cluster gets a gear shift indicator. The Standard variant however does come with a 2-year corrosion protection warranty.
