What’s New in the Renault Kiger Facelift?
The Renault Kiger facelift sports a bold front grille with Renault’s new 2D logo. Redesigned LED projector headlights and updated bumpers enhance its sporty look. New colours, Oasis Yellow and Shadow Grey, join the palette. Inside, a dual-tone dashboard, ventilated leatherette seats, and better insulation ensure comfort.
An 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay adds tech appeal. These updates make the Kiger modern and stylish.
How Does It Drive and Perform?
The Renault Kiger facelift retains its reliable 1.0-litre naturally aspirated (72bhp) and turbo-petrol (100bhp) engines. Buyers can choose between manual, AMT, or CVT gearboxes. A CNG kit option for the base engine adds fuel efficiency.
With 205 mm ground clearance, it handles city and rural roads well. Three drive modes offer flexibility, though some users note cabin noise needs improvement. Performance suits daily commutes and moderate highway drives.
Why Safety Matters in the 2025 Kiger?
Safety takes centre stage in the Renault Kiger facelift. Six airbags, electronic stability control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system come standard.
A multi-view camera and rear parking sensors boost confidence. With 21 safety features, Renault prioritizes driver and passenger security. These upgrades make the Kiger a strong choice for safety-conscious buyers in the sub-4m SUV market.
How Does It Stack Up Against Rivals?
The Renault Kiger facelift competes fiercely with Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Nissan Magnite. Priced aggressively, it undercuts many rivals while offering premium features like cruise control and auto-LED headlights. Its 405-litre boot space and high ground clearance appeal to families.
However, rivals like Nexon offer more refined engines. The Kiger’s value-for-money proposition makes it a compelling pick.
The Renault Kiger facelift strengthens Renault’s foothold in India’s competitive SUV market. Its bold design, enhanced safety, and affordable pricing cater to young buyers and families.
While engine refinement could improve, the Kiger’s features and versatility make it a strong contender. Visit Renault’s official website for bookings and test drives.
