Last week, we joined Renault South Africa at the launch of their new facelifted compact SUV, Kiger. Refreshed with a new exterior look and a bit of interior glow-up to keep up with Renault’s latest design language.
The front-end is probably where you’ll notice the biggest changes. New bonnet, new front bumper with a revised grille and LED lights.
Coming in at R30 000 cheaper than the previous generation, now making it the most affordable compact SUV in the market, priced from R219 999
At the moment, the new Kiger is only available with a Naturally Aspirated 3-cylinder engine that makes 56kW & 96Nm, available in both 5-speed Manual and Automated manual transmission.
In this video, we take an in-depth look at the updated Kiger’s 52kW / 96Nm performance, its real-world comfort, drive quality, and the upgrades Renault introduced for 2025.
We also discuss whether the new model offers better value for money in South Africa, especially for buyers comparing it to alternatives like the Renault Kwid.
