The Roaring Kiger

We set off on the first leg of our Renault Kiger journey wherein we first explore the famous hill stations of Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar

The sub-four-metre SUV segment is blooming, booming, and fuming, with a number of brands making their own statements. but if the search is for a true all-rounder, then one must look no further than the all-new Renault Kiger. the reasons are aplenty, including style, a great engine, features, and a price tag that causes glee. therefore, a long journey was called for, one wherein we could get a proper taste of what the Kiger has to offer. this journey would be broken down into three legs, in the first of which we take the Renault Kiger to the well-known hill stations of Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar, which shall be the focus of our story here.

We left Pune in the wee hours with all our luggage and selves comfortably tucked away in the Kiger. the journey to the hill stations isn’t a long one so far as distance is concerned; however, traffic does make it a little taxing at times. here is where two noteworthy aspects of the Kiger manifested themselves. firstly, design. the Kiger has a very sporty appeal with curves, bulges, cuts, and creases making a modern streamlined persona that turned every head on the road. People along the route had stares and questions for us in their effort to get a better idea of the new vehicle. secondly, the comfort, where the Kiger fares rather well with its fairly spacious interior, well-contoured seats, a smooth ride, and soul-pleasing speakers that entertained us.
