Renault Kiger 2025 Facelift: An SUV that will change your driving experience!

Are you also one of those who are looking for a perfect compact SUV? That too one that is not only stunning in looks, but also full of features and is no less than anyone in safety? So brother, Renault Kiger 2025 Facelift has come to end your search. This new model is much more advanced, stylish and safe than the previous version. Let's know in detail why this car is ready to make a splash on urban roads.

Why does it win hearts at first sight?

As soon as you see the car from a distance, its bold and muscular look will grab your attention. There is a new 10-slat grille in the front, which gives the car an even more aggressive look. Also, the faux silver skid plate looks as if the car is ready for a little off-roading as well. The new 2D Renault logo and thin LED DRLs enhance the elegance of the car.

The side view is no less attractive. The ground clearance of 205 mm makes it easy to run on Indian roads. The higher variants have 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, which give a premium feel to the overall look of the car. There is black cladding on the wheel arches and doors, which adds SUV-like ruggedness.

When viewed from the rear, the C-shaped LED taillights have become the identity of the car. The new Renault logo and redesigned bumper will also be visible. Shark-fin antenna and roof rails (capable of carrying up to 50 kg) complete the profile of the car.

Interior ride: Where comfort meets new definition

As soon as you sit inside, the first thing you will notice is the new dual-tone white and black interior. It looks much better than the old all-black interior and makes the cabin feel spacious. For the first time, Kiger has leather upholstery, which has gold colour Renault logo embossed on it. Of course, hard plastic has been used at some places, but the quality is good.

Kiger does not lag behind in terms of practicality. The cabin has 29 liters of storage space, including a cooled glove box - drinking cold water in summer is a pleasure in itself! There is a 405-litre boot space, and with 60:40 split-folding rear seats, more space can be created if needed.

Power and performance: City or highway, rock everywhere!

Kiger 2025 has two 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine options. The naturally aspirated one makes 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque, which is good enough for city cruising. It can be had with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT.

The real fun comes from the turbo-petrol engine, which makes 100 PS of power and 160 Nm (for manual) or 152 Nm (for CVT) of torque. This engine gives the car a lot of acceleration, especially while overtaking on the highway. Renault claims that it does the 0-100 km/h journey in just 11 seconds, and in our experience, this seems to be true.

The car feels light and agile while driving. The electric power steering helps in taking turns in tight urban areas with ease. The suspension setup (McPherson strut at the front, twist beam at the rear) absorbs minor road imperfections with ease.

Kiger has three drive modes - Eco, Normal and Sport. Fuel efficiency is better in Eco mode, while the car becomes energetic in Sport mode. Hill Start Assist prevents the car from sliding backwards on slopes.

Technology and Features: Where smartness gets a new flight

An 8-inch floating touchscreen has been provided for infotainment, which now has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. That is, now there is no need for a cable to connect the phone. For sound lovers, a 6-speaker Arkamys 3D surround system has been provided, which gives excellent audio quality.

There is a 7-inch digital cluster in front of the driver, which changes its display according to the drive mode. The higher variant also has the facility of wireless smartphone charging.

The most important upgrade is the ventilated front seats. This feature proves to be a boon in the Indian heat. The automatic AC has a PM 2.5 air filter, which keeps the air inside the cabin clean. Apart from this, features like automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control and multi-view camera have also been provided.

There are AC vents and 12V charging socket for rear seat occupants, although the absence of USB ports is a bit of a bummer. Rear center armrest comes in handy during long journeys.

Safety: Where your safety is paramount

Renault has not left any stone unturned regarding safety. 6 airbags have been provided as standard in all variants, which is a great step in the segment. Apart from this, there are 21 safety features, which include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), traction control, hill start assist and ISOFIX child seat anchors.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) keeps track of tyre pressure, while a 360-degree camera (in top variants) helps in parking. Kiger has scored a 4-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test, which is a testament to its build quality.

Variants and Pricing: Options for every budget

Kiger 2025 comes in four trims:

Authentic: Base model, but with essential features like 6 airbags.

Evolution: Features like 8-inch touchscreen, rear camera, manual AC are added.

Techno: LED headlamps, auto AC, wireless connectivity, push start/stop button.

Emotion: Top model, with all premium features like ventilated seats, diamond-cut alloy wheels, multi-view camera.

Prices start at Rs. 6.30 lakh and go up to Rs. 11.30 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most value-for-money cars in the segment. Compared to competitors like the Nissan Magnite, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet, the Kiger offers more features at a lower price.

Conclusion: Why is the Renault Kiger 2025 a great choice?

The Renault Kiger 2025 facelift not only looks stunning, but also has all the features a modern SUV should have. Luxury features like ventilated seats and safety features like 6 airbags are its biggest strengths. The turbo-petrol engine will also please performance enthusiasts.
