Renault KIGER: At a glance
The Renault KIGER will be based on the CMF-A+ platform and will feature a sporty body with an aggressive front bumper, wide central air intake, a shark fin antenna, and a roof-mounted spoiler. For lighting, there will be tri-beam LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and C-shaped LED taillamps. On the sides, it will be flanked by blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, and 16.0-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
Power and performance
The Renault KIGER will come with two BS6-compliant engine options: a 1.0-liter petrol engine that makes 71hp/96Nm of torque and a 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol motor that delivers 99hp/160Nm. Transmission duties will be handled by a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed automatic, and a CVT gearbox.
A peek inside the cabin
The Renault KIGER will offer a spacious cabin with a multifunctional steering wheel, auto climate control, cruise control, cooled glovebox, and rear AC vents. It will also pack a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment console with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. For safety, the SUV will provide multiple airbags, a 360-degree-view camera, ABS with EBD, and an engine immobilizer.
How much will it cost?
The upcoming KIGER will be India's most affordable compact SUV. It will source several parts from the Nissan Magnite and the high localization levels will contribute heavily toward achieving an aggressive price for the KIGER, which is likely to start at around Rs. 5 lakh.
