Renault Kiger Variants: Authentic, Evolution, Techno and Emotion Differences Explained

French automaker, Renault has been in the Indian automotive market for a very long time with its first car being the Logan. Post that, Renault updated its lineup by introducing Pulse, Scala, Koleos, Captur, Fluence and Duster adding diverse products to its portfolio. However, the company underwent a big portfolio shake-up owing to an aging portfolio, low car sales and financial setbacks that stemmed from global crises including the COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war.

As a result, Renault currently has three cars in its portfolio including Renault Kwid, Renault Triber and Renault Kiger. The Kiger was recently facelifted four years after its initial launch year in 2021.

The Renault Kiger boasts two different engine options: a 1.0L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, producing 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission while the 1.0L turbo petrol engine produces 98.6 bhp and 160 Nm mated with a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuous variable transmission.

Let’s see what features are available in each variant of the Renault Kiger:

The Authentic is the base variant of the Renault Kiger with a starting ex-showroom price of Rs 6.29 lakh. The Renault Kiger Authentic, much like any other base variant car, is pretty slim when it comes to features in the car. The Renault Kiger does not have an infotainment system, automatic climate control, a push button start or stop, manual outside rear view mirror adjustment (ORVM), steering mounted controls and second glove box compartment, among other features.
