Renault Confirms July 3 Launch for Facelifted Kwid

Renault’s mid-life Kwid update, focused on styling plus cabin tech, leaves the 1.0‑litre petrol engine unchanged.

Overview

  • Renault India has formally scheduled the Kwid facelift reveal for July 3, converting months of spy shots and leaks into an imminent official launch.
  • Exterior changes reported from multiple sources show Dacia Spring–inspired styling with Y-shaped daytime running lamps, revised bumpers, and new alloy designs while the main headlamps are likely to remain halogen.
  • Inside the cabin the update is expected to add a much larger central touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster along with a new steering wheel and improved trim to give a more modern feel.
  • The facelift is not expected to alter the mechanicals; reports say the current 1.0‑litre three‑cylinder petrol engine (about 67–68 bhp) will continue with 5‑speed manual and 5‑speed AMT options.
  • Renault may raise safety spec to as many as six airbags and the company is expected to price the facelift slightly above the current Rs 4.30–5.99 lakh range, with final features and prices to be confirmed at the July 3 reveal.
