Renault to launch compact SUV KIGER in India in the first quarter next year

Renault KIGER show car has sporty inspirations. Elements like the double central exhaust system, the double extractor, the hexagonal structure accentuate this sporty side. At the same time, numerous design elements of this show car accentuate its SUV adventurous side including the 19” wheels with heavily grooved tyres, roof rails, front and rear skid plates and 210mm ground clearance. The front end displays a two-level of full LED headlights and a neon indicator light. At the back, the rear LED lighting signature makes the car recognizable with double “C” shaped tail lamps.

"After KWID and TRIBER, Renault KIGER is the third global car from Groupe Renault to be launched in India first, followed by other markets," Renault India Operations Country CEO & Managing Director Venkatram Mamillapalle said. The KIGER will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Ford Ecosport and Honda WR-V. "In a short span of time, Renault has already crossed the 6,50,000 sales milestone in India and we look forward to continue on this progressive journey with Renault KIGER," Mamillapalle said.

The body color of Renault KIGER show car shows mysteriously changing blue and purple hues, depending on the angle and light. Efficient and compact, Renault KIGER show car has sporty inspirations and an impressive and impactful two-level lighting. The production car will have about 80% similarity to the show car in terms of design.

It has two identities: one for urban modernity and the second for outdoor ability. The SUV is developed to navigate the city roads on one hand, as well as offer an exemplary experience while driving in the countryside. The sharp upper part is set against the muscular lower part. With a semi-floating roof, a roof-integrated spoiler flag drop, a sloping rear window, and its tapered mirrors, designed like airplane wings.

The Renault KIGER show car has been jointly developed by the corporate design teams in France and Renault India design, in keeping with the evolving preferences and expectations of Indian customers and the changing market trends. The objective while designing and developing this car was to make a sub-4 meter SUV which offers an unmatched road presence.
