2026 Renault Kwid facelift: What to expect?
New Y-shaped lighting elements to adorn the exterior
The 2026 Renault Kwid is expected to receive a comprehensive styling update, with design cues borrowed from the Dacia Spring EV. Spy shots suggest the hatchback will feature new Y-shaped LED daytime running lamps and matching Y-shaped tail-lamps. The headlights, however, are expected to continue with halogen units. The bumpers could be redesigned, and Renault will offer a new set of alloy wheels.
Spy shots suggest a larger 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system
The updated cabin, too, is likely to be inspired by the Dacia Spring EV. Expect a refreshed dashboard with a larger infotainment touchscreen measuring around 10 inches, a new steering wheel and a redesigned instrument cluster. Renault could also upgrade the safety package by offering six airbags. These changes are expected to make the Kwid feel more contemporary without significantly altering its overall layout.
Likely to continue with the same powertrains
On the powertrain front, the facelifted Renault Kwid is likely to continue with the same 68hp 1.0-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. Transmission options, including a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT, are also expected to be retained.
The facelifted Kwid will likely be priced at a slight premium over the current model, which ranges from Rs 4.30 lakh to Rs 5.88 lakh (ex-showroom).
