Renault Kiger, the upcoming subcompact SUV from the French carmaker, has been teased for the first time. The vehicle’s concept will be unveiled in the coming weeks and its production version is likely to hit Indian roads sometime in 2021. The teasers show a few styling elements of the compact SUV including bold grille flanked by LED DRLs (daytime running lights) and LED turn indicators flowing outwards from the centre.
You can notice the green highlights on the door handles and the rear spoiler integrated on the top of the tailgate. The teasers also reveal that the upcoming Renault compact SUV concept features chunky roof rails and split LED taillamps. We have seen multiple test mules of the Kiger via spy pictures revealing some interesting design details. The compact SUV will share some of its styling bits with the other Renault cars.
Upfront, the compact SUV will carry wing-like grille with chrome lined and headlamps integrated on the lower down the bumper. The rear profile will be adorned by sharply raked windscreen, pronounced C-pillar and angular C-shaped taillamps slightly protruding from the tailgate’s edges. Interior of the new Renault compact SUV will share some resemblance with the Triber MPV. Though, its layout and features could be different. Read – Is Renault Zoe Electric Hatchback Coming To India?
The spy pictures reveal that the Renault Kiger will have a floating touchscreen infotainment system with air-con vents positioned below. Features such as digital instrument cluster, shared switchgear on the centre console, dual glove boxes and steering wheel will be carried over from the Renault Triber.
Official engine specifications of the upcoming Renault Kiger are yet to be revealed by the company. Though, it’s reported to come with the 1.0L naturally aspirated and 1.0L turbocharged petrol engine options. The same powertrains will be offered with the Nissan Magnite that’s ready to launch in the coming weeks. While the naturally-aspirated motor will come with manual and AMT gearbox options, the turbo-petrol unit will be available with manual and CVT automatic transmissions.
