Renault KIGER Concept: At a glance
The KIGER Concept has a winged front grille featuring a large Renault logo, two-level full-LED headlamps with neon indicators, and a muscular bonnet. The car is flanked by B-pillars, tapered ORVMs, and 19-inch wheels wrapped in heavily grooved tires. The rear section has a roof-mounted spoiler, sharply sloping glass, twin C-shaped tail lamps, and a double central exhaust system.
Power and performance
The production-ready Renault KIGER will be up offered in two BS6-compliant engine choices: a 72hp, 1.0-liter naturally aspirated petrol mill and a 95hp, 1.0-liter turbo-petrol motor. Transmission duties on the car will be handled by manual, AMT, and CVT gearboxes.
How does the cabin look like?
The interiors of the KIGER Concept have not been revealed. However, the production model is likely to have a minimalist cabin with dual-tone interiors, automatic climate control, angular AC vents, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It will sport an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment panel with support for the latest connectivity options. For safety, the car should offer multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, and parking sensors.
What about the pricing?
The pricing details of the Renault KIGER will be announced during the launch event, which is expected to happen sometime in 2021. However, the SUV is likely to be priced at around Rs. 9 lakh (ex-showroom).
