First Clear Look At Production-Spec Model
The Kwid EV seen in Brazil appears to be the production version of what is sold in Europe as the Dacia Spring and in China as the Renault City K-ZE. For the Brazilian market, it will arrive as the E-Kwid, replacing the outgoing Kwid E-Tech. These units are reportedly being imported from Renault’s facilities in China.
The EV is also under testing in India, though test mules here continue to wear heavy camouflage. An official confirmation for India is awaited, but the brand’s plans to introduce multiple models, including the next-generation Duster and updated Triber, indicate the Kwid EV’s rollout is being lined up strategically.
Exterior Updates
The EV maintains the familiar Kwid silhouette but gets new styling elements. The front features horizontal LED DRLs, polygonal headlamps which may house halogen projectors, and a charging port located behind the Renault logo on the grille. At the rear, taillights are integrated within a dark panel running across the boot lid.
Other details include pull-type door handles and fender designs similar to the existing Kwid sold in India. The test car was equipped with 14-inch steel wheels with body cladding.
Interior And Expected Features
While Renault has not revealed the cabin officially, it is likely to follow the Dacia Spring’s layout. Expected equipment includes a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, cruise control, a toggle switch gear selector, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. Traffic sign recognition and lane watch assist could be part of higher variants, along with manually dimming IRVM.
Battery, Powertrain And Range
The Kwid EV is expected to use a 26.8 kWh battery pack. Globally, the Dacia Spring comes with two motor options – a 45hp unit and a 65hp unit. It delivers a claimed WLTP range of around 305 km, though the India-specific figures are yet to be announced.
India Bound?
The Renault Kwid EV has the potential to become a key part of the company's electric portfolio in India. It can be positioned as an entry-level EV which can compete with the likes of MG Comet EV and the Tata Tiago.ev in the entry level segment. The company can plan to roll out this entry level EV in the Indian market next year.
