Indian customers could soon get their hands on French automaker Renault’s latest SUV on offer, Renault Kiger.

Booking for Kiger, Renault’s third global car after Kwid and Triber in India, can be done through the automaker’s extensive dealership network of over 500 sales outlets as well as the company's website.

A collaboration between Indian and French teams, the SUV is a sub-4 meter offering which has been developed and produced in India for Indian customers. Currently, it is the most affordable sub-4 meter SUV available in India.

At present, the sub-4 meter SUV segment is one of the hottest selling segments in India.

Renault Kiger design

Renault Kiger is a modern SUV that is a perfect fit for the Indian market. Kiger has a distinctive SUV look and its long wheelbase enables great space and volume on board. It is loaded with several smart attributes and is powered by a sporty, world-class engine.
