The Renault Kiger is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Renault. It was revealed in January 2021 and has been marketed since March 2021.[1][2] Designed and manufactured in India,[3] it is positioned under the Duster to occupy the sub-4 metre crossover SUV segment in India.

Overview[]

Developed under the project code HBC,[4] the design of the Kiger was previewed in its concept "showcar" version on 18 November 2020.[5][6][7] The production version was released in 28 January 2021 in New Delhi. Kiger is the work of the French and Indian design divisions. The Kiger is built on the Renault-Nissan CMF-A+ platform shared with the closely related Triber MPV and the Nissan Magnite.[7][8] The crossover receives a sculpted hood, a semi-floating roof with an integrated gallery that extends to the windshield, as well as two central exhaust outlets.[9]

In India, the vehicle is available with the 1.0-liter B4D three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine as standard, capable of 72 PS (71 hp; 53 kW) and 96 N⋅m (9.79 kg⋅m; 70.8 lb⋅ft) paired with a 5-speed manual or an Easy-R automated manual transmission. Upper trims gets the 1.0-liter HRA0 turbocharged petrol engine produces 100 PS (99 hp; 74 kW) and 152–160 N⋅m (15.5–16.3 kg⋅m; 112–118 lb⋅ft) of torque, mated with a five-speed manual transmission or an optional CVT.

At launch, Renault claimed the vehicle has the best-in-class cargo capacity with a volume of 405 liters, expandable to 879 liters after folding the rear seats.[10]

The Kiger was introduced in Indonesia in August 2021.[11] It is offered in a single RXZ trim with a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine option.
