Verdict
Renault has rejigged the variant lineup of the Kiger and made major improvements that should have been done earlier, but I guess it's never too late. Now, the Kiger has become India's cheapest sub-compact SUV to offer an infotainment touchscreen, starting at Rs 6.85 lakh ex-showroom. This RXT (O) variant has also received some cosmetic changes, uplifting its overall appeal. Lastly, the base variant now gets all power windows as standard. Overall, this is a great attempt to provide more value for money variants and a sign that Renault listens to customers feedback.
