Under the hood is a 999 cc (1.0L) three cylinder SCe engine paired with a 5-speed Easy-R AMT unit. It produces 68 PS at 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm at 4,250 rpm, and capable of averaging a fuel mileage of 24.04 km/L (ARAI-certified), making it slightly more fuel efficient than the manual variant.

In Kwid AMT, the R, N and D gears are selected via a circular dial located beside the window controls on the center console. Unlike its nearest rival, it lacks the option to shift manually, so you’ll have to completely rely on its electronics to serve up the next gear.
