Last year, Renault endured strong sales increase courtesy of the facelifted Kwid and Duster along with the Triber modular vehicle that sits below the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga as a seven-seater. The brand is certainly responding to expand its presence in the volume space with the Kiger and is up for market launch on February 15.

It will undercut the Nissan Magnite cousin and both have plenty in common with each other including the mechanical underpinnings. Based on the heavily localised CMF-A+ architecture, the Renault Kiger is expected to carry a starting price of under Rs. 5 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top-spec variant could go all the way up to Rs. 9.50 lakh.

Renault Duster turbo

The sub-four-metre SUV is the production version of the Kiger Show Car concept unveiled late last year and is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol and a 1.0-litre three-pot turbo petrol unit, in a similar fashion to the Magnite. A five-speed manual will be offered as standard while a five-speed AMT in NA petrol and a CVT in turbo petrol will be part of the lineup.
