It has been just 17 months since the Renault Kiger was launched in India. So why are we reviewing it again so soon? The answer actually lies in what Renault was able to achieve with its compact SUV in that short time span – a production milestone of 50,000 units from its plant in Chennai. A chunk of those will have been exported to other markets. The Kiger is sold in South Africa, East Africa, Indonesia, Seychelles, Mauritius, Nepal, Bhutan and Brunei, but it is an impressive feat nonetheless.
The brand’s strategy of injecting each of its models with incremental updates each year keeps things fresh.
The updates are subtle — a new brushed silver scuff plate under the front bumper, a strip of chrome on the tailgate, black door handles and red hubcaps with the Renault logo in chrome on the 15-inch alloy wheels.
