Introduction
Renault Kiger, when it was first launched in 2021, made its foray into the extremely competitive Indian sub-4 metre compact SUV segment and was a success with customers right from the beginning. It had just the right blend of appearances, price, utility, and contemporary luxuries which made it stand out in comparison with the other budget cars. Young professionals, novice car purchasers, and families found a car which was a value for money product.
Now, in 2025, Renault has gone a notch above that by introducing the Kiger Facelift. Most facelifts that are introduced are superficial cosmetic upgrades, but this one is an upgrade by all means. It gets a sportier design, improved premium cabin amenities, advanced safety features, and new technology features to make it future-ready. Competing against heavyweights like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Maruti Brezza, the Renault Kiger facelift is set to offer maximum bang for your buck.
Design and Exterior Styling
The 2025 Renault Kiger facelift is developed with road presence and urbanity in mind. It now looks more aggressive while not sacrificing a balance between everyday functional driving design and sporty styling.
Key Design Highlights:
- New Front Grille & Logo – A more aggressive, larger grille with Renault’s new diamond logo gives a premium look.
- LED Lighting Package – Thin LED headlamps, innovative C-shaped DRLs, and razor-like fog lamps allow increased visibility and styling.
- Sporty Profile – Dynamic bonnet creases, chiselled doors, and new bumper styling add to its road presence.
- Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheels – New dual-tone 16-inch alloys are sporty additions.
- Dual-Tone Colour Options – Bold colours such as Blue, Red, and Silver with black roof contrast lend a fresh feel.
With a 205 mm high ground clearance, car wallows speed breakers, potholed roads, and undulating roads in its stride. The 405-litre boot is class-leading and ideal for road trips, weekend outings, or family luggage.
Where some rivals compromise practicality in design’s name, Renault Kiger finds a happy medium—appealing both to city youth and tiny families.
