Renault Kwid 2020 vs 2015 | Exterior

.
The most substantial changes on the new Kwid are on the exterior, especially the front design of the car. The most noticeable change is the repositioning of the headlamp cluster placed low in the bumper with LED inserts and the DRLs sitting on top of them. This trend had been recently followed by cars of segments much above the Kwid and is a refreshing update for the mini-crossover. Additional changes include a revised bumper and chrome inserts on the grill.
.
The side profile of the car is almost similar to the previous model. The only change being the wheels been upsized from 13-inches to 14-inches.
.
All these exterior upgrades give the 2020 Kwid a butcher stance than the pre-facelift edition.
