Renault Kwid Facelift Spied With Spring-Inspired Styling and New Cabin

A visible exhaust in fresh spy shots points to a petrol update, with any electric version still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • New test mule shows redesigned fascia with Y-shaped LED DRLs, halogen headlamps and a closed-off grille echoing the Dacia Spring EV.
  • The cabin appears substantially updated with a large touchscreen, a new steering wheel and a digital instrument cluster, though final specifications remain unclear.
  • Images capturing a faint exhaust pipe suggest the prototype is an ICE version under development rather than the EV many expected.
  • If the facelift stays petrol-powered, it is expected to retain the 1.0-litre engine with 5-speed manual or AMT options, while dealer-fitted CNG remains available.
  • Renault has provided no launch timeline, and a potential Kwid EV for India is still speculative, possibly leveraging Dacia Spring hardware if pursued.
