Renault Kiger Review | Cheap or Value for Money | Pros & Cons | Gagan Choudhary 

I own a Kiger CVT and each and every point you told was accurate every negative and positive are absolutely true

Now that's an honest review, unlike others who just create videos to upsell the vehicles like paid promotions. Please keep creating such videos for Xuv700, Hycross, Scorpio N etc as well. It will actually help people make the right buying decision. Love u sirji🙏

Being an honest reviewver despite thinking of brand's integration is literally comandable! More power to you.

Great Review Gagan ji but I don’t agree with a Few points ! I own a Renault Kiger turbo MT. Certain things I don’t agree with the review are here as follows 1) Power : The power of the Kiger turbo engine, especially with the manual transmission is amazing . It does 0-100 in 10.5 seconds which is faster than any other car or the segment . I’ve driven a Sonet turbo and venue Turbo DCT and both cars felt slower than the Kiger turbo , with higher test timings for 0-100 . 2) Engine refinement : Kiger turbo engine definitely less boomy and more refined than the venue turbo, nexon turbo and sonet turbo . The kiger engine gives off a sporty thrum- at idle I agree that Kiger has vibrations, but When I rev it- vibrations quickly disappear. However on Sonet And Venue , the engines are more boomy , noisy and uncomfortable at higher Revs . At 5k rpm the Korean engines are struggling . That being said - Cabin insulation is not great in Kiger , which gives the wrong impression that engine is not refined . 3) Fuel efficiency: We did a 300 KM full tank to full tank mileage test of Kiger on the highway ( after 3 years if usage with proper servicing ) -it returned 17 kmpl mileage which is absolutely unbelievable. This was on normal mode , 5 people , full AC and driving between 80-100 kmh on average. Whereas on highway , my cousin who owns a sonet got around 15 kmpl average mileage with 2 people onboard . 4) Rear Seat Space and Boot space : We found the Kiger to be much much better in back seat space compared to the venue and sonet . It is actually on par with the Suzuki Brezza which I test drove around the time of purchase. Now on the negatives in this video which I totally agree with : 1)Interior quality : The interior quality is mediocre at best , not the best in segment . ( but surely at par with marutis , but Koreans are much better here ) 2) Service : As ever , Renault service cannot match Maruti and Hyundai both in terms quality and network. However Renault has been very customer centric - their quality of service still can improve little bit . 3) Electronics: Some of the electronics in the car are low quality - like the window relays and AC starter . I had to change window relays once , since purchase . 4) Suspension- Now this is a subjective thing , though the suspension is noisy ( as described on this video ), it’s feels rugged and tuned to bad roads. It’s more firm , hence lends itself to better ride and handling. I found the dynamics of the Kiger better than the Kia sonet any day - the Kia showed more body roll . But surely the ride at city speeds is better on the Kia. That being said , the chassis of the Kiger feels rugged. All in all, for the price of a Kiger you get a baleno or an i20, and all I can say is it’s definitely a better option than those cars . It’s been a reliable companion to me for the last 3 years and hence I’m open to use it for the next 7-8 years or so without any hesitation. Thanks for review and keep posting !

As a kiger owner i can agree with all of your points. But I'm a slow driver and not a long driving habit so i can ignore the point and my family is also happy with the car.❤

Not sure if this point was covered but in sub-15 Lakhs segment, this is one of the very few cars which offers automatic transmission in CVT whereas most of the other players are sticking with AMT . When I test drove it, the rubber band effect was also less compared to Honda Amaze in which I could feel that I had to really drag the car while picking it up from 0. This was on Normal mode and not on Sport one. Niggles as you pointed out are definitely present where cost cutting seems very evident. In this much budget, you get CVT, modernized french exteriors, compact in size but modest road presence with the clever designing, low to okayish mileage, protruding and cheap quality plastics, decent safety (4 NCAP), loads of features like wireless charging, digital MID, wireless android/apple car play, extended warranty uptill 7 years, hassle-full/free post sales service which is a hit/miss depending on the location. I think the bottom line I felt with this car is: "You get what you pay for".

Driving kiger rxt non turbo since November 2022,driven around 12000kms mostly off road in hills of jandk . Satisfied with performance!

Nice, Gagan is one of the few people to stick his neck out and not try to please everyone. We need these kind of honest reviews, otherwise most reviewers are too diplomatic nowdays.

I took this from Banaglore to Delhi and return, and this is my second car after Skoda. It has performed really well if you know how to drive. Obviously there will be lag in gear switch but that you will get even in 20 lakhs car, that’s the one problem with automatic. In Bangalore, it gives 13-14 avg which is good considering the traffic. And driving European car is all together a different ball game , the pleasure it gives. You cannot compare this with Maruti, Hyundai and the worst in driving pleasure being Tata.

I own RXT manual, your review was spot on. A pillar ne kitne baar galat hote hote bachaya hai. But the thing is Alto se switch kiya tha to looks was the first thing and drive comfort features at this price point was something i was looking for. By the way long route pe 22-24 kmpl aur city pe 16-17 is the mileage I get (non-turbo).

It's remarkable to see that these thoughts align with the everyday concerns of the car owners. In this fast-paced world, it's easy to get lost in the overwhelming options and choices available, which can often lead to confusion and doubts about our decisions. Your insights shed light on the fact that people may believe they have made an excellent choice when purchasing a car, but in reality, there might be aspects that they hadn't considered. Your willingness to address this issue is truly commendable, as it helps car owners/buyers to be more aware and informed about their choices. Your work is valuable and appreciated. Keep up the good work, looking forward for more such videos

Bought my Kiger MT RXZ two months ago. Overall it’s a good car with minor drawbacks as you mentioned. One thing I noticed, sometimes infotainment screen freezes but resets the next day.

This is a practical and honest review....need some more content like this 💯🙏

I own Kiger turbo manual variant and I can assure power is more than enough.

The car looks beautiful no doubt. But sometimes it’s really difficult to distinguish it from the small Kwid when I see this car’s front on road.

Bahut hi accha aur honest batate hain. Bilkul sahi baat kahi hai ki jo limited driving ke liye use karna chahte hain, excessive enthusiast ke liye nahi, unke liye bahut acchi hai.

Out of all the languages this man spoke straight facts😅

Am a satisfied owner of RXZ... However, your review is spot on!

I have Hyundai and Ford car before Renault kiger...Now i have turbo kiger,i am satisfied with its performance...it has maximum positive things than minimum negative things in this price range...

Great review. I own a Kiger RXT variant. For potential buyers I would like to say, you can go for kiger if you are looking for a budget compact SUV with good infotainment system and cabin, excellent passenger space, excellent boot space and great ground clearance. Downside to this car is definitely the engine and transmission. But practically speaking if you need a family car to get from point A to point B this car will do just fine.

For new driver with small family this is one of the best car. I own RXT OPT auto and because of the large space and high ground clearance it gives best driving experience. It's not good only for people who like to drive fast and have many years of experience. First time buyers this is the best option.

Own a KIGER! At the value proposition you can live with few negatives .. otherwise it’s a good buy

मैंने इससे ज्यादा बेबाक और ईमानदारी वाला कार रिव्यू आजतक नहीं देखा ,यही कारण है की मैँ केवल आपके रिव्यू ही देखता हूँ। I have never seen a more frank and honest car review than this, that's why I only see your reviews.

I agree to most of the negatives being a Kiger cvt owner myself, but in early 2023 it got a BS 6.2 update and the vibrations and refinement inside the cabin have improved drastically and the fuel economy is pretty good too. But one thing I have noticed personally in the Kiger and magnite cvt is that when you shift the gearstick from P to R there’s a slight jerk. Even when I shift directly from P to D. But for its price it’s a really nice and vfm product. But a major cost cutting issue I have is the lack of sound deadening rubber beading on the doors and the lack of sound deadening material in the boot. The fact that the magnite gets it and is around 15-20K lesser than the Kiger is a bit shocking. I will suggest the Kiger over the Magnite, only because it has more number of Airbags and the ease of access to Renault’s service centres compared to Nissan

Thanks for the disclaimer Gagan bhai. The transparency is much appreciated.

Finally kuch budget level ki cars ki baat ki ganni bhai ne❤😊

Looking forward for more reviews.. this helps a lot

Bhai very good and unbiased review 💯. Plan clear kar diye aap humara ab. Thank you.

I recently bought KIGER Turbo CVT, I agree with the points you mentioned. 1. A-Pillar is very thick, it really barricades the view. 2. Plastic quality is not that great. (I had a KWID Climber RXZ AMT, and the plastic used is better in that with no rough edges).

Great work gagan bhai You Amit sir and ICN doing amazing job ❤

Turbo CVT - One of the best car very spacious car, Most underrated car, it has all modern features and very reasonable price , 3 people can easily sit in 2nd row,segment best and similar to mid size SUV comfort and space. Using it from past 1 year Despite of this I 100% agree with negatives mentioned by Gagan

I’m owning Kiger Turbo since a year now and i can relate to all the negativities. I’ve complained about the noises during 1st servicing to the executive. The A pillar visibility is horrible. One thing he didn’t add about stiff suspension and body roll.

Waited so long for this reivew being a kiger owner I agree with at every single point so accurately you covered everything 😃

thanks for this knowledge bhai ase hi review chaye bss boht help krte hai

Finally someone is showcasing , bit out of the , limelight cars . These kind of reviews are required

I own the Kiger RXZ turbo variant and recently completed 10k kms. I ageed with all the points except one point related to performance. Trust me its turbo engine has very good power. I drove this car with 5 people at hill on rainy day. It smooth as butter. Yes on lower rpm you might feel less power but When its turbo hits at 1500 rpm you will feel its power.

I own Kiger RXT (O) manual. All the thing you said are accurate. Although one more issue is AC of this car is good but not that powerful. I am a relaxed driver and it fullfill all extra points you mentioned. Overall i am satisfied ❤

Your review is pretty good! But looking at the price range, it's a value for money with features like 4 air bags, ESP, Hill Hold Assist, ABS, Air Purifier, 205mm Ground Clearance, Driving Modes, LED's, 3 way adjustable driver seat, 405L Storage, Wireless Charging, Rear AC Vent with charging point, Exceptional Space management and the beauty in looks! I feel it's a total winner for the price it comes in compared to the other cars you mentioned. I own a Kigar and I don't regret it as it offered value for money coz I really had to miss out on soo many features if I wanted to opt for the other cars and also pay more with less being offered.

I appreciate your work and efforts you put in.

Nice vedio sir. Covered almost all positives and negatives. Being a owner i too have same view about postives and negetives of this car I own kiger turbo manual. Main problem that i face is inconsistent Power delivery. One thing you forgot to mention is the turbo sound . It doesnot sound good like duster turbo or vw group cars turbo. Turbo sound gives the feeling of cost cutting

40k km done so far. No issues so far. I differ on performance part.. it is infact very fast , in turbo manual

Behtarin review gagan bhai.

Great review, Thanks to your honesty.

I think , one of the best review, the way you described, really good

Very well explained sir!!

Hi Gagan bhai. Thanks for the detailed video on Kiger. Is it worth buying Ignis in 2023 considering all the flaws in vehicles under this price range ?

Make a video on your favourite cars in each segment from budget hatchbacks to super car (also hyper car if possible) in 2023

The finest disclaimer we all want👌👌

Bahut Dino baad,ek super honest review from auto reviewer. Welldone Gagan Bhai👍🏻

Behtareen Review bhai ❤ Mkbhd of Car Reviewer 😄

kiger i felt the same but every car is different from one another ...i like my kiger the way it runs on high way or city ..its very comforatable for long drives ...its is good car and it will be good car....gagan chowdary is a a critic rather than a a reviewer..

I have RXZ MT ,i agree with your all points except about power. In Performance it is segment king.stisfied with power performance.

Damn boi! This was a harsh and but much needed review.

Gagan, you are doing great! Best wishes to you

I am a owner of kiger Manual non turbo and driven 21000 km Trust me Gagan, Meet me or talk to me i will tell you more negative points about this car and you have revealed every point honestly. Great Job!! Service Centre jaoge na and yeh issues bataoge ki steering re-Center nhi kar raha h toh woh ulta aapko yeh bol dete h ki nahi karta h kisi bhi gaadi ka

Gagan bhai always love your content ❤️ 🙏😎 love you gagan bhai 🥳

I have taken the test ride of turbo variant, it’s powerful as compared to 1.5 l engines and even steering feedback and ride comfort is good 😊

Quality content 👌

I am a big Renault kiger FAN, even though you highlighted many negative points which nobody noticed or shared before. though I don't own one, but few points that you highlighted make sense.

I have a Renault Kiger. I agree with each and every point Gagan pointed. I face exactly same issues.

I am almost agree with you, the big notice you put the A piller driving discomfort or risk is appreciated, but normal mode drive non turbo variant gives me 22 on highway and 200 ft road other wise 17-18

Nice video very informative...

Although I agree with you about overall quality and lack of peppy engine, I dont think any other car in same segment gives you 4 star safety rating, huge space inside, largest boot space, higher ground clearance in this price. This is very practical vehicle in my opinion.

No nonsense and fair review. 👍👍👍

The points you covered are absolutely true positive and negative both, i have magnite and old generation alto k10 i feel alto has better steering than magnite. And there is one more issue with the gear box, in reverse gear it does not have any power it feels very very less powered in reverse gear. Other than that the car is completely worth the price you are paying despite some of the negatives.

Really appreciated ❤

Should i upgrade from ignis to kiger turbo? Is it comfortable for long Highway runs and inter city commute in cities like mumbai ??

"hi5, namaste" very good video buddy:-*

very impressive review!!

I own this car and I am highly satisfied with its performance so far leaving very few things aside...which are in every cars...somehow I felt you gave more negative feedbacks as compare to the Positive ones, pls don't mind.

Love from Srinagar Kashmir, Gagan.

Hi Gagan sir all your videos are informative and addictive to watch ❤❤😊

Pls do more of these kinds of videos 🎉❤

Finally humare budget pe bui aa gaye aap banna saa 🙏

expectation can be high but then the budget should be high too, comparing the price with the overall package, we can say that the money is well spend

Rachit from MotorOctane needs a master class from Gagan to learn how to properly review a car.

वैसे आपको देख रहे है बहोत सालों से ये गाड़ी का रिव्यू से देखना चालू किया था पर बीच में आपने जो #घुमक्कड़ गगन किया था ना वो बहोत पसंद आया दूसरा की आप की बात करने की शैली बहोत पसंदीदा है Love from #Palanpur(GJ)

1st comment Gagan Da Bhalobasha 🫶🏻 from KOLKATA

I like your way of reviewing like, na zada burai na zada achhai jo he wahi kaha ❤

Honest review 👍🎉🎉

Finally, someone criticized this car as it should have been. Also in Manual version the gear slotting is way too bad in this and Magnite as well.

Sir I have a question is good to add aftermarket DRL in scross because sometimes the upcoming car cant see us

So the summary is jisko badi, value for money, good safety rating, feature loaded, good road pracanse car chahiye or 80-90 tak max speed m chalata ho woh kiger le sakta hai Baki sub can go with other cars And jaha tak milage ki baat h I can see the car which is gagan using is new milage will increase as suggested by gagan only in different videos

Booking Kar liya sir apka review sunkar 🎉

Own rxz since 2 years and driven 40000km. I have never got a mileage (tank to tank) below 15 in city and below 18 on highways. I donot agree with mileage fact, even ive driven this at 100+ km/h n never got such dismal mileage as stated. Cheap plastics are not specific to kiger in this price range, cant pin it as a negative of kiger. Infotainment features are way better than any other car in the category. Engine and power issue are on paper lesser in comparison to similar priced models, but practically doens't make a low feel as stated.

Gagan I agree with you, I have Kiger RXZ AMT .. All things you said is correct.. Quality of the Internal Plastic Is Below Par, Biggest Issue is A pillar.. I really have take care every Turn i take, too much blind spot.. Fuel efficiency is around 10 in city (with Full AC), on Highway around 15 (with full AC), Mix is 13 KMPL.. the biggest positive is Space & looks and Ground clearance, Value for money.. at which the are offering features.. .. Every person / friend liked at first time.. Once you start using it then only you know all the issues.. But lets see how long i will keep it..

man ripped kiger's whole career in one video 😂

Thank you for being honest!

Really honest review

Thanks Gagan. For your true and unbiased review.... I use to admire this car. But now I will refrain myself and will not suggest any of my friend

Gagan, nice review. Can you please do Venue there is a lot of confusion about features and price of s(0) and sx

गगन भाई आप ने बिल्कुल सच बातें बोली है अपनी वीडियो में। मैं कुछ दिनों पहले kiger की टेस्ट ड्राइव लेने गया था। परन्तु kiger के प्राइस के हिसाब से उसकी क्वालिटी इतनी अच्छी नहीं है। Renault को इस पर काम करना चाहिए। नही तो ये गाड़ी बहुत जल्द मार्केट से गायब हो जायेगी।

I so agree with u...I own a kwid...I wanted to upgrade to kiger...but after taking test drive n the feel of plastic material quality the seat belt..rearview mirror.....steering noise....mirror rolling up n down noise....after seeing all.this I canceled my plan

Sir I own cvt from April 2023. Avi tak 3000 km chalaya hai in kolkata traffic. Mostly for office commute. I agree with your most comments except the below 1. Milage. In city I am getting 13. Highways 19 2. Break noise. The car has a irritating break noise. 3. Also done some minor offroading. The car handles decently considering the price and fwd.

Now that's called an excellent review💯💯 Video covers all the aspects, giving the potential customers a great idea about the positives and negatives of kiger It's always great to have such a honest reviewer in the automobile sector who really tests the car thoroughly and then shares his reviews More power to you Gagan sir ❤

Daba kar gajab beizzati ki Gagan bhai ne renault kiger ki. Thora bohat jo dil tha ye gaddi lene ka wo bhi khatam hogaya ab.

Very good review

Dear GC, I have AMT non turbo top varient since January 23. I fully agree that the pick up is pathetic. sometimes i press the accelerator till it touches the floor, but it is still lethargic. I owned Renault SCala desiel manual which was like a sports car, unbelivable pick up of scala.. I miss that in this Renault car. Also city average is 11 or less. All other features are great. This is a car for slow drivers.. not for people like me who would like to cover distances when space in front of you is empty. It dosent allow me to variate my speed in city.

Same syndicate wipers are there in hyundai cars too. I am not that satisfied with those in my i20. What do you think of those.sirji.

Bhaiya as per you gadi mechanically side strong honi chahiye ya feature wise ?
