Renault Kiger Design: the Perfect SUV at a Perfect Price

 


Almost all cars try to have a single, coherent design philosophy. But if I had to pick a grand winner, I would have to hand it to the Renault Kiger design.

Most compact SUVs lack an oomph in one area or another, but not the Renault Kiger. The best way to experience the perfection of its stance is to observe the car from a slight distance. You will immediately notice the stunning yet muscular SUV stance that speaks oodles about the thought that the Renault Kiger design team has put in.

Let’s start with the dual tone. The Renault Kiger gets the merging of multiple colours just right, whether it is red, blue, silver, white or brown and its harmony with the mystery black roof. The 40.64 cm diamond cut alloys and the rear skid plate blend seamlessly into the overall design sensibility.



The contouring of the body tells quite a story. The stylish lines along the rear of the car perfectly accentuates the c-shaped signature LED tail lamps. The ridge detailing on the bonnet adds to the dominant musculature of the car, and it ends quite confidently in the chrome front grille.

A surprising but ultimately appropriate merging of muscle design philosophies is the tri-octa pure vision LED headlamps with LED DRLs. They help the Renault Kiger design score a perfect 10! 



No design is good design if the inside doesn’t continue the impression of the outside. And this is where the Renault Kiger shines compared to the competition. There is a very apparent direction being taken when it comes to the smart cabin – comfortably futuristic. The first thing that greets you when you enter the cabin is the huge, but artfully placed 20.32 cm display link floating touchscreen with wireless smartphone replication. The futuristic feel is suitably amplified by the liquid chrome upper panel strip and the chrome knob on the centre and side AC vents.



Then, as you sink into the plush driver’s seat, you notice the multi-skin 17.78 cm reconfigurable TFT cluster behind the wheel. Both digital displays are placed strategically, and add to each other’s presence, along with the wireless charger and the rotary command on the centre console for the multi-sense drive modes.

The ‘smart tech’ focus of the Renault Kiger design is to be seen in other aspects as well, like the push start/stop, smart access card, and auto AC with a PM2.5 clean air filter.

A testament to the thought put into the Renault Kiger design is the abundance of space. A glove box with 14.9L and a high centre console storage of 7.5L are built into the overall 29L cabin storage space. This is apart from the 405L cargo space that can be enhanced to 879L by folding the rear seats.

Often, when carmakers focus on design, other aspects take a hit. Not so here. The 1.0L turbo petrol engine is extremely powerful and responsive, and is mated to three types of transmission – manual, easy-R AMT and the fully automatic x-tronic CVT. Moreover, it is clear that Renault is aware of the Indian consumer’s mindset, proved by the fact that the fuel efficiency of the Renault Kiger HR10 petrol engine is 20.53 km/L.

Safety too hasn’t been sacrificed to make way for the Renault Kiger design. The car comes with 4 airbags, ABS & EBD, as well as a rear-view camera and front parking sensors. All of this, available at an astonishingly affordable price of just Rs 5.79 lakh* (ex-showroom, Delhi).

No wonder, the Renault Kiger design is truly performance, power and comfort redefined.

Renault Triber AMT – Absolute value. Brilliant features.

Image
  After years of driving a hatchback, I finally decided to upgrade to a bigger car. But the question ahead of me was huge! Which car should I go for? Should I go for an SUV, a sedan or a 7-seater? I decided to go the old fashioned way. I first made a wish list of things that I wanted in my car and then started putting names against cars that satisfied those wishes. Of all the points jotted down by me, the one that said ‘need space for atleast 6 people’ topped the list since my parents also stay with me. I finalized two 7-seaters from which I was determined to choose the one that offered me the best value. Since a close friend of mine already owns a Renault Triber AMT and I have travelled many times with him, I was a bit biased towards the Triber. To give it a fair shot, I test drove the other 7-seater first and then went for the test drive of the Renault Triber AMT with my wife. Her first reaction on seeing the Triber was, “Are you sure this is a 7-seater?” “Don’t worry. H...

Renault Kiger: A Reward for Our Achievements

Image
  It has been slightly more than 1.5 years since my friend Shekhar and I started our venture. Recently we both gifted ourselves a Renault Kiger each. We worked with a large IT company that specialised in providing IT solutions to large corporations. Things were going well until the lockdown began. We received our salaries for the first two months, but on the first day of the third month, we received pink slips. There were 6 of us who were asked to leave. While the other 4 began their job search, Shekhar and I decided to start something of our own. We decided to form our consultancy company and approached start-ups. The first month was tough, but finally, we made one breakthrough. Shekhar and I slogged hard to make sure that we gave our maiden client a world-class solution. With increasing business, we eventually reached out to the other 4 colleagues who were laid off along with us and asked them to join us. Within just six months of starting, our revenues had trebled, and our ...

Renault Kwid – Good Features at a Great Price!

Image
  Being brought up in the 80s and 90s, I saw and was always given to understand that it takes a lifetime to buy a car. Of course, I wouldn't say people were wrong back then. There was a difference between people's income and car prices. So, very few people could afford only basic cars, let alone luxurious ones. But in the 21st century, things have changed significantly. These days, you don't have to wait for your late 40s or early 50s to buy a car. I didn't, as I purchased the classy Renault Kwid at a relatively young age and that too at a fantastic price. Here's my Renault Kwid story. I am a hatchback lover. Honestly! It isn't that I don't like sedans or SUVs. However, somehow, I adore hatchbacks more than the rest. Accordingly, I was looking for hatchbacks that could fit my pocket and serve me for a long time. And yes, not to forget, those with an elegant and contemporary design. Renault Kwid ticked all the boxes. I thank my friend, who recomme...
