The Renault Kwid facelift will also be based on Renault-Nissan's CMF-A platform, which gives the small hatchback enough room on the inside with extra space in the boot as well. While it is too early to talk about the changes, we can see that the Renault has given the Kwid facelift minor tweaks here and there like the revised front bumper, new set of fog lamps and also a refreshed rear bumper. The wheels will also most likely remain the same as the current generation.
