Overview
- Renault India has scheduled the Kwid mid-life facelift to be officially revealed on 3 July 2026, turning prior spy-shot speculation into an imminent company announcement.
- Exterior changes reported by multiple outlets include Dacia Spring-inspired styling, Y-shaped daytime-running lamp motifs at front and rear, revised bumpers and new alloy wheel designs.
- Inside, media reports expect a larger touchscreen of around 10 inches, a fully digital instrument cluster, a new steering wheel and improved cabin materials with six airbags possibly offered.
- The facelift is predicted to keep the current 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with the same five-speed manual and five-speed AMT transmissions, so no mechanical changes are expected.
- Final trim lists, confirmed safety fitment and exact prices remain unannounced and will be revealed at the 3 July event, with industry coverage noting a likely modest price premium that preserves the Kwid’s entry-level positioning.
