Overview

• New images captured by weguide.auto show Y-shaped LED DRLs, revised bumpers and tail-lamps, and exterior cues closely resembling the Dacia Spring EV.
• The cabin appears overhauled with a larger touchscreen (around 10 inches), a new steering wheel, and a digital instrument cluster, with reports also pointing to a potential six-airbag setup.
• A visible exhaust pipe in several photos strengthens the case that the test mule is an ICE facelift rather than an EV.
• Renault India managing director Venkatram Mamillapalle has said the updated Kwid is part of the company’s broader ‘rethink’ product strategy following recent Kiger and Triber refreshes.
• Some outlets continue to speculate about a future Kwid EV leveraging Dacia Spring hardware and eye a late-2026 to early-2027 window, but Renault has not confirmed powertrain plans or a launch timeline.
