Tata Tiago.ev Rivaling Renault Kwid EV Spotted Testing

Renault has previously announced its plans to diversify its vehicle portfolio in the Indian market. Based on the announcement, the French automaker is planning to bring the updated Duster and other vehicles to the country. As part of the plan, the brand seems to be testing the Renault Kwid EV on the Indian roads. Though the test mule spotted is heavily camouflaged, it does reveal some of the exterior highlights of the Tata Tiago.ev rival.

Renault Kwid EV: Exterior Expected

The 2026 Renault Kwid EV's test mule suggests that it carries most of the exterior elements from the Dacia Spring EV, which is available for sale in the international market.

The front fascia of the Renault Kwid EV has been unchanged from its international spec sibling and gets sleek rectangular LED DRLs. The blacked-out body cladding gives it a rugged look.
