The Renault Kiger facelift has been released in India, following a promotional build-up. The updated compact SUV is priced between ₹6.29 lakh and ₹11.29 lakh, similar to the previous model. The older Kiger model was available in four trims: RXE, RXL, RXT(O), and RXZ. The new Kiger is offered in four trims: Authentic, Evolution, Techno, and Emotion.
The starting price has seen a slight increase, and the top-end variant’s price is similar to the outgoing model’s top trim. Introductory pricing is available for the Techno CVT and top-spec Turbo manual variants.
Engine options are carried over, featuring a 72 hp, 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT, and a 100 hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with CVT or 5-speed manual gearbox. Pricing for the Kiger NA AMT variants will be announced soon.
Exterior changes include a revised front bumper with a silver surround, a new Renault logo, updated paint options, refreshed C-pillar graphics, smoked reverse lights, and new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Inside, the Kiger retains its overall design, but now offers six airbags as standard across all trims, along with ESP, a tire-pressure monitor, and hill-start assist. The top trim offers additional features like ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, automatic headlights and wipers, a wireless charger, and an 8-inch infotainment screen.
