Renault Kiger Facelift 2025 has officially arrived, promising refreshed styling, a premium cabin, and added features, while retaining its strong value-for-money tag. We got behind the wheel of the updated Kiger at the iCAT facility in Gurgaon to test its design changes, new features, performance, and ride quality. Here’s our detailed first drive review of the Renault Kiger facelift.
Renault Kiger Facelift Price & Variants
The 2025 Renault Kiger facelift price starts at ₹6.29 lakh (ex-showroom) – exactly the same as the refreshed Triber. What makes Kiger stand out is the 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine option, priced from ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom), which Triber misses out on.
- NA Petrol Variants: Authentic, Evolution, Techno, Emotion
- Turbo Petrol Variants: Techno, Emotion
Renault Kiger Facelift Design – What’s New?
The facelift brings a sharper, sportier look while retaining the SUV’s bold stance.
- Redesigned fascia with sleeker grille & Renault’s new 2D logo
- Larger lower grille with silver skid plate styled like a bull-bar
- New LED fog lamps (first time on Kiger)
- Sculpted bonnet for a more muscular stance
- 16-inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers (front)
- Blacked-out roof rails & door handles
- Dual-tone roof options with vibrant body shades
Colour options (7 monotone + 4 dual-tone): Caspian Blue, Shadow Grey, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black, Ice Cool White, Oasis Yellow, Radiant Red (exclusive).
Interiors & Features – More Premium, More Comfort
Step inside, and the Renault Kiger facelift interiors feel brighter and more upmarket.
- New Noir & Cool Grey theme with perforated leatherette upholstery
- Ventilated front seats (segment-first, though a bit noisy)
- Yellow stitching on steering wheel with new Renault logo
- Auto headlights & rain-sensing wipers
- 360-degree camera (but no stitched top view)
Other carry-forward features include:
- 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Wireless charger, cruise control, push-button start
- Auto climate control with rear AC vents
- 7-inch TFT digital cluster
- Auto-dimming IRVM, dual glove box
- 205 mm ground clearance
Space & Practicality
The dimensions remain unchanged (3990 mm length, 2500 mm wheelbase). Cabin space continues to be one of Kiger’s strong suits with supportive seats, 3-point seatbelts, and adjustable headrests for all passengers in top trims.
- Boot space: 405 litres – among the largest in sub-4m SUVs
- Expandable with 60:40 split-folding rear seats (almost flat)
Engine, Performance & Drive Experience
We drove the 1.0L Turbo Petrol CVT (100 PS, 152 Nm). The engine remains the same but Renault claims weight reduction and improved structural rigidity, giving it:
- Best-in-segment 0-100 km/h acceleration
- Strong torque-to-weight ratio
- 2nd-best mileage in its class
- Smooth CVT performance with decent city driveability
- Noticeable 3-cylinder vibrations inside the cabin
Ride & Handling:
- Suspension tuned for comfort – glides over bumps with ease
- Steering is light but lacks sharpness; understeer at corners
- Noticeable body roll, but stable in emergency maneuvers
- Braking adequate, but rear disc brakes are still missing
Safety
The Renault Kiger facelift safety package includes:
- 6 airbags (standard across trims)
- ABS with EBD
- ESC & hill-start assist
- TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system)
If you’re looking for a stylish, practical, feature-loaded sub-4m SUV without a sunroof obsession, the Renault Kiger facelift 2025 deserves to be on your shortlist.
