Renault is going to launch a new sub-compact SUV in India in a couple of months, which as per reports suggest, might be named as Kiger.
Renault is making revisions to the platform of Kwid for its upcoming models, with its first result as the Triber MPV. The next in line is the Renault sub-compact SUV which might be named as Kiger, indicated by leaked documents.
Renault Kiger compact SUV will sit on the same platform that undermines Triber, as the latter is also 3,995mm long. The manufacturer has already started testing the SUV and we might see it in a production form, showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo.
After seeing great success with the Triber, Renault has the plans for an overcrowded segment. The sub-compact SUV space has models from almost every automotive brands and more to come this year. Definitely, like the Triber, the Renault Kiger Compact SUV is likely to demand lesser price.

As Renault has decided to discontinue diesel engines, Kiger will only get petrol engines. A 1.0 Litre turbo-petrol unit is sure shot to come onboard. There are chances that it might also get a bigger 1.2 Litre turbo-petrol unit, which might also power the Duster.
The turbo petrol unit should be able to pump out around 100 BHP and will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as a 5-speed AMT. The new AMT gearbox will come on the Triber as well, most likely by next month itself.
In terms of features, we can expect it to come with the same list that comes on Triber. We can expect big touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Rear Parking Camera, Cruise Control, a digital instrument console and electric ORVMs.
