Renault Kwid facelift seen testing with design updates. Bigger touchscreen and digital cluster likely. Engine to remain the same 1.0L petrol unit.
Renault Kwid facelift has been spotted testing on Indian roads, hinting at an upcoming update for the popular entry-level hatchback. The test mule was seen with its front grille, Renault logo, and tail lamps covered, suggesting design changes are on the way.
Updated Exterior Design Expected
The spotted model had camouflage on the front fascia and rear section. This indicates updates to the grille, headlamps, Renault badge, and tail lamp design.
Renault Kwid facelift is likely to get small styling tweaks rather than a full redesign. Expect refreshed bumpers, new LED elements, and possibly updated alloy wheel designs to give it a more modern look.
The Kwid is known for its SUV-inspired styling, and Renault is expected to continue with that theme.

Bigger Touchscreen and Digital Cluster Likely
Inside the cabin, the Renault Kwid facelift is expected to receive new features. Reports suggest a bigger touchscreen infotainment system and a new digital instrument cluster could be added.
The current Kwid already offers features like an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, steering-mounted controls, and a rear parking camera. The facelift could improve on this with better connectivity and updated software.
These upgrades will help the Kwid stay competitive in the entry-level hatchback segment.
Engine and Performance to Remain the Same
No mechanical changes are expected in the Renault Kwid facelift. It will likely continue with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine.
This engine produces 65 bhp and 96 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission (MT) and a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox.
