Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Kiger RXL is a compelling option in the subcompact SUV segment, especially for those on a budget. While it has its quirks, such as the poorly insulated cabin and lackluster steering feel, it makes up for these with its plush ride, spacious interior, and impressive boot space of 405 liters. The 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, though not available in the RXL variant, is a highlight in other variants, but the naturally aspirated 1.0-liter engine in the RXL still provides decent performance. The cars build quality, although not perfect, is satisfactory, and the four-star NCAP rating adds to its safety credentials. Overall, its a practical and feature-packed SUV that is well-suited for both city driving and occasional long trips.

Price

The Renault Kiger RXL is priced competitively in the Indian market, with an ex-showroom price of around 6.60 lakh in New Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to approximately 7.5 lakh to 8 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Kiger RXL an attractive option for those looking for a feature-rich SUV without breaking the bank. The value-for-money proposition is strong, considering the features like all power windows, 4-speaker audio system, and rear AC vents that come with this variant.
