Renault Kwid Facelift spotted undisguised

With the launch of Maruti Suzuki' S-Presso imminent, Renault is gearing up to launch the mini cross-hatchback’s rival, the Kwid facelift. The hatchback’s next-gen iteration is expected to be launched by the end of October as it was recently spotted without camouflage.

The Kwid facelift takes inspiration from its all-electric Chinese counterpart, the City K-ZE. It gets a new split-headlight setup with LED DRLs in the upper half and headlamps in the lower half. The grille’s size has also increased, while the lower bumper has a complete redesign with the addition of a skid plate.

The hatchback was spotted with contrasting orange accents, decals, roof rails and gunmetal alloy wheels. Hence it is expected that the car which was spotted was the Climber edition of the Kwid. The rear sees a new bumper design with faux skid plates and slightly altered tail lamps.

Renault has equipped the new Kwid with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system borrowed from the Triber. It also gets a new steering wheel design and a new instrument cluster with a central MID, among others.
