The Renault Kiger of the 2021 model year looks quite impressive: muscular flared fenders, shortened body overhangs, and unusual two-tier headlights attract attention. In more expensive trims, the lighting can be LED.
The budget crossover from Renault is based on the CMF-A platform and is a "relative" of the Nissan Magnite model. The car's dimensions are 3991 mm in length and 1750 mm in width, the wheelbase is 2500 mm, and the ground clearance reaches 203 mm. The curb weight is only 1012 kg.
The top versions of the Renault Kiger come with a digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen display. The trunk volume is 405 liters in the standard seat position and 829 liters with the rear seats folded. The options list includes keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, parking sensors, and wireless smartphone charging.
At the start of sales, the new Renault Kiger will be available with a 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 100 horsepower, and later a version with a naturally aspirated engine with 72 hp will appear. For the turbo version, a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT is provided, while for the naturally aspirated version, a manual and a robotic transmission are available. The crossover is exclusively front-wheel drive.
