Renault reveals its subfour SUV
Renault has just premiered the Kiger sub-four meter SUV in India which takes on the likes of the Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Venue and the Kia Sonet. We take a detailed look at the product
The sub-four meter SUV segment just got a bit hotter with Renault revealing its newest product for India, the Renault Kiger. The company is planning to launch the SUV in the first week of March 2021 and prices are expected to start from Rs 5.5 lakh and go all the way up to Rs 10 lakh.
The Kiger follows Renault’s new design theme much like the Renault Kwid. So much so that at first glance one might write it off as the Kwid. But look closely and one will be able to sport the differences in form of the tri-LED headlights and sleek LED DRLs which also double up as winkers. The large grille looks good and the Renault badge takes centre-stage. The overall two-tone theme adds to the sporty aura of the Kiger. In profile the Kiger looks masculine thanks to the strong design lines. The SUV rides on 16in alloys and ground clearance offered is a rather good 205mm. The roof rails much like the Nissan Magnite are not just for show but can bear loads as well. At the back the tail gate sweeps down and overall the Kiger looks much like a crossover. The tail lights feature LEDs and take space on the rear fender and tail gate. The spoiler adds to the looks as well.
The first thing which you will notice once inside the Kiger is its rather high driving position. The bonnet up ahead comes into view and this gives one a feel of good visibility. The dash looks smart and offers loads of storage space. The twin glove boxes can hold
generous amount of kit. The Kiger’s high, wide centre console is focused around a large 8in floating touch screen that features wireless smart phone replication for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in higher trims. The system not only offers voice recognition through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but also Bluetooth connectivity that can pair with up to five devices, a USB socket for faster charging and a built-in MP4 video player. The Auditorium 3D Sound system by Arkamys is connected to eight onboard speakers (four boomers, four tweeters).
