Renault claims that Kiger offers the best-in-segment mileage. As per ARAI Testing Certification, the SUV returned a mileage of 20.5 kilometres per litre. This was for Kiger’s turbocharged 1.0-litre engine. Since the launch of Kiger, Renault has witnessed a steady growth in terms of sales. The SUV offers the customers adequate features along with a very competitive price tag. With the festive season already in full flow, Renault aims to attract a healthy number of customers. Increasing demand for SUVs is helping greatly in the sales of Kiger. More customers are now inclined towards buying SUVs over sedans and hatchbacks. Kiger does deliver a ‘Value-For-Money’ proposition for the customers, which is a great USP for a price-sensitive market like India.
To target a wider range of audiences, Renault is offering Kiger with two engine options. First is the 1.0-litre motor that makes 72 PS and 96 Nm. The second engine is the 1.0-litre unit with a turbocharger that has performance output figures of 100 PS and 160 Nm. The naturally aspirated power unit comes with two gearbox options, a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed Easy-R AMT. Meanwhile, the 1.0-litre turbocharged engine comes with two gearboxes in the form of a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed CVT automatic.
In terms of features, Renault has done a pretty great job. The key features include a multilayered dashboard, a 7-inch fully digital instruments cluster, 8-inch centrally mounted touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, steering mounted audio/MID controls, wireless smartphone charging, automatic climate control and more.
When Kiger was first introduced in the market, Renault had put on an introductory starting price of INR 5.45 lakh (ex-showroom). But now the introductory offer has ended, and the prices now start from 5.64 lakhs (ex-showroom). Renault offers Kiger in five trims – RXE, RXL, RXT, RXT (O) and RXZ. To celebrate Renault India 10th Anniversary, the company had recently launched the RXT (O) variant.
