According to Renault, the Kwid (with a starting price of R2,699 per month) has a 1-litre SCE engine and "offers best-in-class fuel efficiency from only 4.4l per 100km."

Petrol cost intrigues people online

Millicent's viral video had many heading for the comment section. Some people shared that they were also Kwid drivers and took pride in their vehicle, while others expressed their scepticism and amazement at the affordability.

A curious @andy.all.day asked about Millicent's fuel consumption:

"How much do you put in for the month?"

The TikTokker shared:

"R1000, and sometimes, even less."

@moipone_wako_pheli felt nostalgic and wrote:

"Yoh, I miss my Kwid. That car was so fuel efficient it wasn’t funny. One thing I hated was driving steep in traffic."

"But there was something in the tank before you filled it. It was not empty."

Millicent asked the app user:

"Do I have to wait until it’s empty to refill?"

"Now, this explains why my friend has turned her car into a taxi. In and out of Limpopo every day."

Not convinced, @babelang_esther1111 commented:

"I still won't buy a Kwid."
