Talking in detail, this China-spec Kwid EV would be having different rims, new headlights and tail lamps. The car would be equipped with new front grille and revised bumpers at both the ends. Earlier when the Kwid EV went for tests on the road, the shot taken at that time revealed the glimpse of the cabin of the model. Looking broadly, both the electric and the petrol-powered Kwid have got the same body styling and stance but could be easily differentiated bases their bumpers, headlights and wheels.
The Electric vehicle of this model has headlamps featuring a sharper design and would be likely to pack LED projector lamps and not the halogen units as evident on the regular model. This car has fog-lamp housings which are this time kept as air vents expectedly for facilitating the batteries for cool. The design of the front grille and the skid plate are different this time.
The New bumper has a reasonable and noticeable different cladding bounded by two vents at the rear end. But the exhaust is missing there. It is expected that the Kwid’s Regular model would also undergo such cosmetic changes soon as under a mid-life refresh technique.
The Brand Renault Claims a range of around 250 km for its Kwid EV. Above all, the production-spec model is yet to be tested as per the new WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test) cycle which has been defined and directed by the European Union.
The Production for the global-spec Kwid EV expected to be starting in mid-2019. However, in India, the Model would only be launched by early 2020s or until the affordable electric car market in India becomes practicable.
However, Maruti Suzuki is expected to be launching its EV based new WagonR around 2020.
