NVH could’ve been better
Renault’s newest launch the Kiger was finally handed over to us in Goa to be reviewed. The Renault Kiger is a compact SUV, based on the CMF-A+ modular platform. The first product we saw on the same platform was the Renault Triber, a compact (sub 4-metre) multi-utility vehicle and that received much acclaim finding its way to several homes. So what does the Renault Kiger, an SUV, have to offer that’s different, unique and could find similar appeal? Let’s find out.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The Renault Kiger is handsome. It grabs attention and is one of Renault’s stand out designs, and surprised us at the global reveal much like the Renault Kwid, its micro hatchback did years ago. It cleverly uses a mix of sculpted body panels and plastics to lend a sense of strength and solidity, and the raciness leans more towards a sporty crossover visual than a proper SUV. Remember the VW Polo Cross, the Toyota Etios Cross, and others like them, and how they cleverly utilised plastic surrounds and accents to provide a visual strength to the hatchbacks they were based on? The Renault Kiger makes good use of similar chunky elements to visually appear larger, dominant and attractive. Elements like the blacked-out plastic inserts on the bumpers, the lower apron at the front and rear, the grille, the shrouds on the wheel arches, it all adds muscle to the overall image.
