Intro

Renault has launched the 2025 Kiger facelift in India, and it’s more aggressive in one of the most competitive segments. With a new design, better safety and more features, the Kiger is targeting first-time SUV buyers and families looking for value.

Design: More Aggressive

The updated Renault Kiger now has a sportier face with a new grille, reworked bumpers and new LED lights at both ends. The new 16-inch diamond-cut alloys and Oasis Yellow colour make it stand out in city traffic.

Inside, the cabin is more premium. Dual-tone dashboard, improved sound insulation and ventilated leatherette seats make it more comfortable for long drives and weekend getaways.

Features: Practical Upgrades for Daily Use

Renault has gone all out by offering six airbags as standard across all trims – a rare feat in this segment. The facelift also gets 360-degree camera, 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers.

These features aren’t just for show – they directly improve safety, comfort and convenience for daily use, which is what buyers in this segment value the most.

Engine & Performance

Under the hood, the formula remains a winner. The 2025 Kiger continues to offer the same tried-and-tested engine options. Both are now E20 fuel-ready, ready for a greener future.

• The 1.0-litre petrol motor produces 72 PS and 96 Nm, and can be paired with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox.
• 1.0L Turbo-Petrol: Produces a punchy 100 PS and 160 Nm of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a seamless CVT.

For budget-conscious buyers, a government-approved CNG kit option is also available for the naturally aspirated version, providing a low-running-cost alternative.

Price & Competition

The 2025 Renault Kiger is priced competitively, starting at ₹6.29 lakh and going up to ₹11.29 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price point, it directly rivals a host of popular compact SUVs.

Its main competitors include the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Nissan Magnite. With its aggressive pricing and upgraded feature list, the new Kiger aims to steal a significant share of the market.

Conclusion

The 2025 Kiger facelift is a strategic and impressive update. By making six airbags standard and adding key convenience features, Renault has transformed it into a vehicle that offers a rare blend of safety, style, and value. The new Kiger isn’t just keeping up with the competition – it’s now a powerful contender poised to rise to the top of India’s most competitive SUV segment.
