Renault India is expected to announce the facelift's prices later this year.

    1. Renault Kiger facelift spy images hint at minor redesign
    2. Changes to dashboard, upholstery and other bits expected
    3. Will be mechanically unchanged

    While the SUV spied wears heavy camouflage, the exterior design updates will be relatively minor. There seem to be no sheet metal changes in profile, and even the alloy wheels look to be of similar design and size as the current model. The spy shots also indicate that the split headlight setup continue, as do the C-shaped tail-lights. Among the changes expected to the Kiger’s exterior are revised front and rear bumpers, and the new Renault logo.

    Renault Kiger facelift interior changes

    Changes likely to be similar to ones seen on the Nissan Magnite facelift

    Like its badge-engineered sibling, the Nissan Magnite, the Kiger’s cabin is also expected to sport cosmetic changes. Along with mild tweaks to the dashboard, the Renault compact SUV’s interior is likely to feature more soft-touch materials and new upholstery for the seats and door trim. An expansion of the featuyres list is also likely.

    The current Kiger’s 72hp, 1.0-litre naturally petrol engine and the 100hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine will continue to be offered on the facelift. The former comes with a 5-speed manual and an AMT gearbox options, while the latter gets a 5-speed manual and CVT auto options, and these are expected to continue unchanged.

    Considering the current Renault Kiger is priced between Rs 6.10 lakh and Rs 11.25 lakh (dual-tone finishes are a Rs 25,000 option), the facelift will command a premium. Based on the price hike the Magnite saw after its mid-life refresh, expect the Kiger facelift to cost between Rs 6.5 lakh and Rs 11.5 lakh.
