The sub-compact SUV segment has become one of the highest-grossing car segments in our country very quickly. People love the affordability and dimensions of compact-SUVs and every manufacturer is competing here. There are more than 8 cars competing in this segment alone. Nissan Magnite which was recently launched is the latest entry in the segment. The Renault Kiger which will be launched soon is heavily based on the Nissan Magnite. Find out below 5 exciting features on the upcoming Renault Kiger.

1) Sunroof

Recently, some interesting spy shots of the Kiger surfaced online. While the spotted prototypes were heavily camouflaged, we can notice the bulged roof indicating the presence of sunroof. If its production-ready model comes with this feature, the Kiger will become the most affordable subcompact SUV to offer sunroof. Though, it could be reserved for the higher trims. One must note that the newly-launched Nissan Magnite (the most affordable subcompact SUV) misses out it.

2) Engine and Performance

According to sources, the Renault Kiger will come with two engine options: 1.0L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and 1.0L turbocharged petrol engine. Both engine options will come with a 5-speed manual transmission option with some form of automatic transmission as well.  Renault will also have to provide something unique and value for money to attract customers. New launches like the Kia Sonet and Toyota Urban Cruiser have raised the stakes high in the compact-SUV segment.

3) More Triber than Magnite

The Kiger is likely to be more feature-loaded than the Magnite. The Renault Kiger will be heavily based on the Renault Triber in terms of features. The list is likely to include an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument console, 3-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls, automatic climate control, push-button start and more. There will be a newly-designed dashboard with horizontally placed AC vents.

It will be a challenging road for Renault Kiger after its launch, as the compact SUV space already has many popular products such as Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport, Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser and Mahindra XUV300. Its cousin, Nissan Magnite is off to a brilliant start – already registering over 15,000 bookings. The upcoming Kiger will be the most affordable Renault SUV in the country.
