The 2025 Renault Kiger Facelift has finally been launched in India, with a starting price of ₹6.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Renault has heavily updated its compact SUV, introducing over 35 updates in design, comfort, features, and safety. This facelift is a significant milestone for the model, which has been Renault’s top-selling performer among sub-4 meter SUVs ever since it debuted in 2021.
A New Face with Better Road Presence
The facelifted Kiger’s body has been redesigned to appear sharper and premium. The front of the SUV is now bestowed with a new gloss-black grille with chrome trim and thinner LED daytime running lights that work harmoniously with the projector headlamps. Bumper has also been restyled with more robust lines and a restyled skid plate, presenting the Kiger with a more assertive road posture. From the sides, the SUV remains sporty, now complimented by new 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. At the back, the taillamps have been updated with a new lighting design, while the bumper has been chiseled to provide more width to the vehicle. Collectively, these features give the Kiger a more premium and fashion-forward appearance than before.
Step Inside to a More Comfortable and Premium Cabin
Renault has made significant improvements to make the Kiger feel more upmarket. The dashboard is now treated to a dual-tone theme with soft-touch finishes, and the seats are covered in new premium upholstery. Ventilated front seats are now available for the segment for the first time, which will be a relief for Indian customers. The cabin is also made quieter with enhanced sound insulation on the dashboard, floor, and hood. Practicality was not forgotten either, with elements such as a 60:40 split rear seat, rear armrest with cupholders, rear AC vents, and cooled glovebox making life easier on a daily basis.
Loaded With Smarter Technology and Safety You Can Rely On
Technology takes center stage in the 2025 Renault Kiger facelift. The SUV is now equipped with a refreshed 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The inclusion of a six-speaker ARKAMYS 3D sound system provides an immersive music experience, while convenience features like wireless charging, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and a multi-view camera system contribute to the convenience of driving. Safety has been further improved with the facelifted Kiger providing as many as 21 standard safety features. This includes six airbags, ESP, traction control, hill-start assist, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child-seat mounts. Renault has also introduced small but thoughtful touches such as a Take-a-Break reminder for drivers and an alert to ensure personal belongings are not left behind.
Proven Engines with Reliable Performance
Renault continues with its tried and tested engine options. Buyers get to decide between a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a more powerful 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit. The naturally aspirated option is efficient in delivering performance, while the turbo variant delivers peppy acceleration with up to 160 Nm of torque. Transmission is available as a 5-speed manual, AMT, and CVT based on the variant. The turbocharged engine also provides impressive fuel efficiency, with Renault quoting over 20 kmpl figures, so the Kiger is a sensible option for buyers who would like performance and economy.
How Much Will the New Kiger Cost You?
Renault has introduced the 2025 Kiger facelift at a launching price of ₹6.29 lakh, increasing to about ₹11.29 lakh for the range-topping variants. This aggressive pricing maintains the Kiger’s popularity among price-sensitive buyers while also providing premium features that compete with pricier SUVs in the segment.
So, What Makes This Update Stand Out?
The new Kiger is more than a midlife facelift. With its new look, improved features, boosted safety, and aggressive pricing, Renault has been able to make Kiger more appealing to a broad spectrum of customers. In a segment which is highly competitive and commands almost half of SUV sales in India, these upshots help keep Kiger in the competition. For customers who are considering a fashionable, loaded, and secure subcompact SUV that won’t cost them the earth, the 2025 Renault Kiger facelift is an attractive proposition.
