Renault India, in order to boost the sales of its entry-level SUV, the Kiger, has given it a major pricing update. It has introduced a few new variants and has also revised the pricing of the Kiger. It has also announced that the Kiger Turbo has now become India’s most affordable turbo-petrol SUV in the entry B-SUV segment. The Kiger Turbo now starts at Rs 7.89 lakh; meanwhile, the newly launched Evolution+ variant has been launched at Rs 6.99 lakh.
As stated above, the biggest highlight of this update is the pricing of the turbo-petrol variants. The Renault Kiger Turbo manual now starts at Rs 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it the most affordable turbocharged SUV in the entry B-SUV segment.
The turbo-petrol lineup now includes the newly launched Evolution+, Techno, and Emotion variants with manual transmission. Meanwhile, buyers who want an automatic option can choose the Techno and Emotion variants, which come equipped with the X-Tronic CVT gearbox.
The French automaker has introduced a brand-new Evolution+ variant in the Kiger lineup. This new variant will be offered with both the naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol powertrains. As per the company, the Evolution+ variant has been launched to bridge the gap between lower and higher trims.
In terms of the updates that are being offered with the Evolution+ variant, it comes with a Smart Access Card, push start/stop button, driver seat height adjustment, wireless smartphone replication, automatic climate control, and light embossed fabric upholstery.
Now coming to the updated pricing of the 2026 Renault Kiger lineup. It now starts at Rs 5.81 lakh for the Authentic naturally aspirated petrol variant. Then there is the Evolution variant priced at Rs 6.55 lakh and the newly launched Evolution+ at Rs 6.99 lakh.
Apart from these, the second top-spec Techno and top-spec Emotion variants have been priced at Rs 7.55 lakh and Rs 8.45 lakh, respectively. All of these variants are manual transmission variants. As for the naturally aspirated petrol variants with the AMT gearbox, the Evolution is priced at Rs 6.99 lakh, Evolution+ at Rs 7.45 lakh, and the Techno at Rs 8.05 lakh.
As for the pricing of the turbo-petrol variants with the manual gearbox, the Evolution+ has been priced at Rs 7.89 lakh, the Techno at Rs 8.45 lakh, and the Emotion at Rs 9.35 lakh. Meanwhile, the turbo-petrol variants with the CVT gearbox have been priced at Rs 9.35 lakh for the Techno and Rs 10.35 lakh for the Emotion.
The 2026 Kiger still gets the same two petrol engine options. The first is a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 72 bhp and 96 Nm of torque. This engine gets a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT transmission option. Meanwhile, the second and more exciting option is the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
This motor is capable of making 100 bhp, 152 Nm (manual), and 160 Nm (CVT). The Kiger turbo-petrol has one of the best torque-to-weight ratios in the segment. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox and Renault’s X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission.
The CVT transmission also gets D-Step technology, which simulates gear shifts. This helps in reducing the rubber-band effect of the CVT gearboxes. It also comes with multiple drive modes, including Eco and Sport.
In terms of the design, last year Renault gave the Kiger a much-needed design overhaul. It gets a new black front grille, updated Renault logo, revised front bumper, updated LED headlamps, new fog lamps, new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, new Oasis Yellow exterior colour, a new green shade with a contrasting roof and pillar finish, and many others.
Meanwhile, on the inside, the Renault Kiger comes with a black and grey cabin theme. Its list of features includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger, ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, push-button start, a 360-degree camera, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, premium upholstery, and a 29-litre glovebox.
Commenting on the launch of the new Kiger trims, Francisco Hidalgo, VP – Sales and Marketing, Renault India, stated, “At Renault, our focus has always been on making innovation and mobility more accessible to customers. With the New Kiger range, we are taking this commitment further by bringing turbo performance, premium features, and greater choice within easier reach. As customer expectations continue to evolve, accessibility today goes beyond price. It is about enabling a more complete and rewarding ownership experience. This update reflects our effort to democratise features and technologies that matter most, while staying true to Kiger’s core promise of performance.”
