The Kiger is essentially Renault’s version of the Nissan Magnite. Both cars are built on the same platform, same powertrain options, same wheelbase, and similar dimensions. Here are some Renault Kiger pros and cons that we recommend you to consider before buying a new car in India.
The Kiger is perhaps the best looking car in its segment, thanks to its French DNA. While the side profile is nearly identical to the Magnite’s, the Kiger gets a sleeker-looking front face, and a smooth-flowing rear face with C-shaped lights.
With the recent addition of dealer-level CNG kits as optional fitment, the Kiger gets five powertrain options, with the other four options including a 1.0-litre NA petrol engine with a manual and an AMT, and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol with a manual and a CVT.
The Kiger gets a spacious boot and space inside the cabin is decent for its segment as well. Overall, it comes up to be a practical family car for four.
The Kiger does have multiple powertrain options, but none of those are exciting to drive and feel rather lethargic. The car is best suited for city driving and struggles when it is given the beans.
The Renault Kiger misses out on some features that are present on other similarly-priced cars, including a 360-degree camera setup, sunroof, six airbags, and more.
NVH levels of the Kiger-Magnite duo aren’t great either. There’s a lot of road noise and external disturbances that get transferred to the cabin. Sound insulation should have been pushed a few notches up.
