The 2026 Kwid E-Tech gets a sharper, more contemporary look while retaining the compact proportions of the standard Kwid. It features LED daytime running lights with a horizontal layout, polygon-shaped headlamps positioned lower on the bumper, and a charging port neatly integrated behind the Renault badge.
At the rear, the bumper design has been updated, while the Y-shaped LED tail-lamps are now connected by a gloss black strip running across the tailgate.

Powering the Kwid E-Tech is a 65 hp (48 kW) electric motor paired with a 26.8 kWh battery pack. According to Brazil’s Inmetro/PBEV test cycle, the electric car achieves a certified range of 180 km. In real-world conditions, it can reach up to 240-250 km on a single charge.
Charging times vary from under nine hours via a 220V home socket, to around three hours with a 7 kW AC wallbox, and about 45 minutes on a 30 kW DC fast charger (20–80 per cent).
The Kwid EV has been spotted testing in India multiple times, but Renault has yet to make any official announcement regarding its launch. If introduced, the Kwid E-Tech could become one of the most affordable electric cars in the country, positioned below current mainstream EVs.
