While other manufacturers came up with feature loaded SUVs, Renault and Nissan played the price game very well. Renault Kiger and the Nissan Magnite are currently the most affordable compact SUVs in the segment.
Renault Kiger is based on CMF-A platform. This is the same platform that we have seen in Renault Kwid and Triber. Kiger gets a design that is similar to what we have seen in several other Renault cars in the past. The front grille gets chrome inserts and the LED DRLs and turn indicators are placed in a way that it looks like an extension of the front grille. The Renault Kiger does look muscular from the front. The all-LED three pod headlamps are placed on the bumper.
