2027 Renault Kwid Techno

• The 2027 Renault Kwid Techno starts at R$75,990, sitting between the entry Evolution (R$71,190) and range-topping Outsider (R$84,890).
  

• It adopts Renault's new brand identity already seen on the Kardian, Boreal and Koleos, with a glossy black grille, LED daytime running lights and a rear camera integrated into the badge.
  

• Techno adds a 10.1-inch Media Evolution touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a rear camera and steering wheel audio controls over the base Evolution trim.

Renault has refreshed the Kwid for the 2027 model year in Brazil, and the Techno trim sits as the mid-point of a three-version lineup built around the brand's newest visual identity. The update leans on styling and technology changes rather than a mechanical overhaul, and Renault says pricing holds at 2026 levels despite the added equipment, with Techno starting at R$75,990.

Exterior design observations

The Kwid's front end gets a more sculpted, three-dimensional bumper and a new grille finished in glossy black, shared across all three trims and carrying Renault's new logo. LED daytime running lights are standard on every version, and the rear gets a new "Crystal lens" light design along with LED signature lighting — on Techno, these units get a further obscured treatment. The badge on the tailgate now houses an integrated reversing camera, standard on Techno and above. A new "Shark"-style roof antenna rounds out the exterior changes.

Vehicle proportions and stance

Renault continues to lean on the Kwid's SUV-inspired stance, citing 185mm of ground clearance and approach and departure angles of 24.1 and 41.7 degrees. The wheelbase measures 2,423mm, which Renault says gives rear passengers the most knee room in the segment. Techno wears new 14-inch bi-tone steel wheels, a step up from the standard wheel Evolution ships with, though full wheel specification for Evolution isn't detailed in the release [Unverified].

Interior space and technology

Inside, Techno gets the new 7-inch digital instrument cluster and floating-style screen layout that's shared across the range, along with a modern multifunction steering wheel carrying the new Renault badge. Seat coatings on Techno use a new blue-hued, 3D-shaped material Renault describes as more refined than the base trim. The bigger jump comes in infotainment: Techno adds the 10.1-inch Media Evolution touchscreen with Bluetooth calling, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls, none of which are listed as standard on Evolution. Techno also picks up a knife-style key, electric rearview mirrors finished in gloss black, body-color exterior door handles and two USB-C ports.

Powertrain or performance details

Every Kwid, Techno included, uses the same 1.0-litre SCe three-cylinder engine, producing 71hp on ethanol or 68hp on gasoline, with 10.0 kgfm and 9.4 kgfm of torque respectively. Renault quotes 14.4 km/l in the city on gasoline and 15.4 km/l on the highway, alongside a fuel efficiency rating of 1.41 MJ/km and CO2 emissions of 88.4g/km on gasoline.

Practical usability features

Luggage space is rated at 290 litres, expanding to 1,100 litres with the rear bench folded — figures Renault claims lead the category, and which carry across all trims including Techno. Techno buyers can also add optional accessory kits: Kwid Play for styling items like roof bars, Kwid Smart for protective trim, Kwid Secure for an alarm and anti-theft system, and Kwid Pet for pet transport gear.

Market positioning

Sitting between Evolution and Outsider, Techno is positioned as the value-technology pick within Renault's own Kwid lineup, adding connectivity and styling touches without the Outsider's off-road-styled body cladding.
