Renault Launches 2027 Kwid Facelift In Brazil

A reworked dashboard with a digital cluster and a 10.1‑inch screen modernizes the small hatch and could prompt a similar update for Renault’s India line-up.

Overview

  • Renault officially launched the 2027 Kwid facelift in Brazil in late August, offering three trims—Evolution, Techno and Outsider—with prices starting at BRL 71,090.
  • The most visible change is a new cabin layout that pairs a 7‑inch digital instrument cluster with a 10.1‑inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • The facelift keeps the same 1.0‑litre three‑cylinder SCe flex‑fuel engine and a 5‑speed manual gearbox, rated at 71 hp and 98 Nm on ethanol and 68 hp and 92 Nm on petrol.
  • Safety and convenience have been upgraded with four airbags as standard, electronic stability control, hill‑start assist, rear parking sensors and a tyre‑pressure monitoring system.
  • The Kwid has been a volume model for Renault in Brazil with production at São José dos Pinhais and strong sales since 2017, and Renault has not announced the Brazilian facelift for India though the cabin changes make an India introduction plausible.
