Renault Kiger : Renault Kiger continues to punch above its weight in India’s cutthroat sub-4m SUV segment, delivering funky styling, turbo punch, and a cavernous cabin starting at Rs 5.76 lakh ex-showroom.

As Renault gears up for a 2% price hike from January 1, 2026 due to rising input costs, current buyers can snag deals before the bump, with on-road prices ranging Rs 6.5-11.5 lakh depending on variant and city.

Launched February 2021, the facelifted model refreshed in 2025 with new alloys, LED tail lamps, and enhanced safety, holding steady against Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, and Hyundai Venue thanks to 4-star Global NCAP rating and CNG options.​
