Renault has updated the Kiger compact SUV for the year 2022 with a few new features and visual tweaks on the inside, apart from a new RXT (O) variant. The overall range of the updated Renault Kiger now commences at Rs 5.84 lakhs. Most of the updates introduced are restricted to the variants which come with the turbocharged version of the 1.0-litre petrol engine. The bookings for the updated Renault Kiger are now open across all the authorized dealer outlets and the website of Renault India.

To start with, the range-topping RXZ variants are now available with a new dual-tone colour option of Metal Mustard with Mystery Black Roof. This new paint scheme has already made its debut in the other two offerings from Renault, Kwid and Triber. All the variants of the Kiger, including naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions, will now come with a PM2.5 air purifier as a standard feature. The top-spec variants are now also available with two new features – wireless smartphone charger and cruise control. On the inside, the Renault Kiger now comes with an updated quilted emboss upholstery with contrast red stitching. The dashboard of the compact SUV will also feature red accents.

The 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in the top-spec trims will also get red-coloured wheel hub caps.

Apart from the new features mentioned above, the Renault Kiger lineup also receives a new RXT (O) variant with the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine option. This variant is offered with both 5-speed manual and CVT gearbox options.
