Market introduction

The Renault Kiger received an update on 30 March, 2022.

Engine and Specification

Under the hood, the Kiger can be had in either of the two petrol engine options – 1.0-litre NA and 1.0-litre turbo. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine produces 70bhp and 96Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. This engine is available in a five-speed manual and a five-speed AMT option.

On the other hand, the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine produces 97bhp and 160Nm at 3,200rpm. The turbo engine is available in a five-speed manual and a five-speed CVT option. The top-spec variant also offers different driving modes – Normal, Eco, and Sports. 

Exterior

The 2022 Renault Kiger continues to be based on the CMFA+ platform. The fresh changes are limited to the turbo variants which feature new tailgate chrome insert, ‘Turbo’ door decals, and 16-inch wheels with red wheel caps. Overall, the compact SUV has retained the styling elements from its predecessor which featured a sculpted bonnet design and a 3D-graphic-finished grille with honeycomb-shaped chrome highlights.

Interior

Most of the styling elements have been carried forward from the predecessor. However for freshness, the vehicle now offers new red fade dashboard accent and quilted emboss seat upholstery with red stitches. Moreover, depending on the variant, the Kiger now also offers cruise control and a wireless smartphone charger. Other feature highlights include an eight-inch touchscreen floating display and a seven-inch multi-skin reconfigurable TFT colour instrument cluster. 

Seating capacity
