The electric motor in the cheaper variant of the SUV will produce a power of 130 hp and 250 Nm torque, while the expensive variant will boast a power of 218 hp and a torque of 300 Nm. The EV will come with a choice of two battery capacities, 40 kWh and 60 kWh. It will provide the electric SUV with a range of 300 km and 470 km respectively.

The electric SUV has 20-inch wheels is 4.21 metres long and 1.50 metres high, 2.7-meter wheelbase and weighs 1,624 kilograms. The Renault has improved its aerodynamic efficiency as the design of the hatchback has been updated. The EV's contained height, narrow-rimmed tyres, sculpted shoulders with air vents at the front as well as character lines at the bumper sides will streamline the vehicle and will also improve the overall fuel efficiency.

Talking about the interiors, the highlight of EV is the OpenR single screen that combines the digital instrument panel and central console multimedia screen. It is enabled with the latest-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, advanced connectivity with USB-C ports and technology for onboard safety and ADAS. The automaker has equipped the new OpenR Link system with Google so that the driver gets an intuitive and connected experience. 

The Megane E-TECH electric will be available in six colours that are Rafale Grey, Schist Grey, Midnight Blue, Flame Red, Diamond Black, and Glacier White.

Renault Kiger off to strong start, 1,100 units delivered on opening day of sales

5th March 2021
"Kiger is offered in two petrol engine and three transmission options"

Renault Kiger, the newest sub-compact SUV in the Indian car market is off to a positive start with Renault informing on Wednesday that it had delivered more than 1,100 units on Day 1 of the sales beginning. Kiger has been priced attractively and starts at INR 5.45 lakh and goes up to INR 9.72 lakh (ex showroom prices).

Sales of Renault Kiger started on Wednesday and at least 1,100 units were delivered to customers. "We thank our customers for their encouraging response on Kiger and our dealer partners for their immense support," said Venkatram Mamillapalle, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations. "Following Duster, which made SUVs accessible to a large set of people, not just in India but across the world, Kiger is all set to make SUV aspirations accessible to a whole new set of customers."

Accessibility, along with affordability, has become the new buzzword in the sub-compact SUV space which has seen a whole lot of traction in recent times. Kiger is now looking at creating a space for itself here and comes with two petrol engine options - a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated motor and a 1.0-litre turbocharged motor. Transmission choices range between a five-speed manual, AT and CVT.

Kiger also has an exterior design that is a departure from the rather boxy shape which defines most of its rivals. While a bulky shape is often preferred by customers in this segment, Kiger has a rather sporty appeal from the side and is coupe-ish to look at. From the front, it is similar to the Kwid with a few distinct elements of its own, the square-box LED DRLs for instance.

Inside, Kiger does offer quite a lot of space and a high seating position helps occupants get a generous view of the road ahead and of the surroundings.

Renault is also offering accessory packs with all four variants of the car which are RXE, RXL, RXT, and RXZ. These packs, at an additional cost, bring in more chrome, body graphics, mud flaps, choice of cabin carpet and more, depending on which pack is selected.

Kiger is going head-on against the likes of Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV300 in the Indian market.
