In order to preserve its appeal and update it in relation to its most modern rivals, Renault is preparing an aesthetic renewal of the Kwid that will update its exterior appearance with some elements that have been revised, modifications that will allow the current generation to face the rest of its commercial life.This week a prototype of the refurbished Renault Kwid was seen on roads in Europe, where the French manufacturer uses its infrastructure prepared for the development of vehicles, although it is a model that should not be marketed in the old continent.

The first images show changes in the front and back, which can be appreciated despite the camouflage of the prototype. The most relevant modifications will be on both bumpers, in addition to the wheel arches, while the grille and headlamps will also be subject to a review, as well as the addition of new exterior tones, new hub designs, alloy and new customization options.
