Renault has launched the Kiger facelift in India with prices ranging between Rs 6.30 lakh and Rs 11.30 lakh (ex-showroom), and it gets subtle cosmetic revisions and new features on the inside. It continues to be available in four trims, but Renault has used this opportunity to change the variant nomenclature from RXE, RXL, RXT (O) and RXZ to Authentic, Evolution, Techno and Emotion, respectively. Let’s take a closer look at the powertrain options and features available with each trim.

The Kiger continues to be available with four powertrain options. There’s a 72hp/96Nm, 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that’s offered with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. There’s also a 100hp/160Nm, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit that’s paired with either the 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. It also gets the option of a CNG kit as a dealer-level fitment.
The 72hp petrol engine with the manual gearbox is available across the range, while the AMT is offered on the mid-spec Evolution and Techno trims, but not on the top-spec Emotion. Meanwhile, the turbo-petrol range starts from Rs 10 lakh with the CVT being available on Techno and Emotions trims, but the manual is limited to just the Emotion.

The Kiger facelift sees a major update on the safety front with six airbags as standard; previously it only got four airbags even on the top trim. Other standard safety features include ABS, ESC, TPMS, traction control, hill start assist, ISOFIX mounts and 3-point seat belts with reminder for all five seats.

2025 Renault Kiger: which variant should you buy?
Of the four powertrain choices on offer, we’d recommend the turbo-petrol CVT, which is smooth for city usage, and offers decent performance as well; the naturally aspirated petrol variants' performance can feel a little underwhelming. As for the trim, we’d recommend the top-spec Emotion, which offers niceties and conveniences like front ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, leatherette upholstery and a wireless charger, all at a very reasonable price. As before, the Kiger continues to rival the Nissan Magnite, Maruti Fronx, Toyota Taisor and Maruti Brezza as well as smaller SUVs such as the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.
