I own a Kiger CVT and each and every point you told was accurate every negative and positive are absolutely true
Thanks for sharing your thoughts brother
@@GaganChoudharyagreed completely had to sell my Kiger rxz amt in 1 year, due to these issues & many more, biggest issue 9/10kmpl average even after driving with litefoot in city, Renault should learn from Citroen and bring 1.2 litter engine from Clio to Indian market for Kiger and Triber.
He said the engine and gearbox is not good. Do you agree?
@@umairarifshaikh5095 using only in city so didn’t matter as such
@@umairarifshaikh5095 yes agreed
Now that's an honest review, unlike others who just create videos to upsell the vehicles like paid promotions. Please keep creating such videos for Xuv700, Hycross, Scorpio N etc as well. It will actually help people make the right buying decision. Love u sirji🙏
Being an honest reviewver despite thinking of brand's integration is literally comandable! More power to you.
As a kiger owner i can agree with all of your points. But I'm a slow driver and not a long driving habit so i can ignore the point and my family is also happy with the car.❤

Not sure if this point was covered but in sub-15 Lakhs segment, this is one of the very few cars which offers automatic transmission in CVT whereas most of the other players are sticking with AMT . When I test drove it, the rubber band effect was also less compared to Honda Amaze in which I could feel that I had to really drag the car while picking it up from 0. This was on Normal mode and not on Sport one. Niggles as you pointed out are definitely present where cost cutting seems very evident. In this much budget, you get CVT, modernized french exteriors, compact in size but modest road presence with the clever designing, low to okayish mileage, protruding and cheap quality plastics, decent safety (4 NCAP), loads of features like wireless charging, digital MID, wireless android/apple car play, extended warranty uptill 7 years, hassle-full/free post sales service which is a hit/miss depending on the location. I think the bottom line I felt with this car is: "You get what you pay for".
Wow very well articulated 👍
Driving kiger rxt non turbo since November 2022,driven around 12000kms mostly off road in hills of jandk . Satisfied with performance!

Great Review Gagan ji but I don’t agree with a Few points !
I own a Renault Kiger turbo MT. Certain things I don’t agree with the review are here as follows
1) Power : The power of the Kiger turbo engine, especially with the manual transmission is amazing . It does 0-100 in 10.5 seconds which is faster than any other car or the segment . I’ve driven a Sonet turbo and venue Turbo DCT and both cars felt slower than the Kiger turbo , with higher test timings for 0-100 .
2) Engine refinement : Kiger turbo engine definitely less boomy and more refined than the venue turbo, nexon turbo and sonet turbo . The kiger engine gives off a sporty thrum- at idle I agree that Kiger has vibrations, but When I rev it- vibrations quickly disappear. However on Sonet And Venue , the engines are more boomy , noisy and uncomfortable at higher Revs . At 5k rpm the Korean engines are struggling . That being said - Cabin insulation is not great in Kiger , which gives the wrong impression that engine is not refined .
3) Fuel efficiency: We did a 300 KM full tank to full tank mileage test of Kiger on the highway ( after 3 years if usage with proper servicing ) -it returned 17 kmpl mileage which is absolutely unbelievable. This was on normal mode , 5 people , full AC and driving between 80-100 kmh on average. Whereas on highway , my cousin who owns a sonet got around 15 kmpl average mileage with 2 people onboard .
4) Rear Seat Space and Boot space : We found the Kiger to be much much better in back seat space compared to the venue and sonet . It is actually on par with the Suzuki Brezza which I test drove around the time of purchase.
Now on the negatives in this video which I totally agree with :
1)Interior quality : The interior quality is mediocre at best , not the best in segment . ( but surely at par with marutis , but Koreans are much better here )
2) Service : As ever , Renault service cannot match Maruti and Hyundai both in terms quality and network. However Renault has been very customer centric - their quality of service still can improve little bit .
3) Electronics: Some of the electronics in the car are low quality - like the window relays and AC starter . I had to change window relays once , since purchase .
4) Suspension- Now this is a subjective thing , though the suspension is noisy ( as described on this video ), it’s feels rugged and tuned to bad roads. It’s more firm , hence lends itself to better ride and handling. I found the dynamics of the Kiger better than the Kia sonet any day - the Kia showed more body roll . But surely the ride at city speeds is better on the Kia. That being said , the chassis of the Kiger feels rugged.
All in all, for the price of a Kiger you get a baleno or an i20, and all I can say is it’s definitely a better option than those cars . It’s been a reliable companion to me for the last 3 years and hence I’m open to use it for the next 7-8 years or so without any hesitation. Thanks for review and keep posting !
The car looks beautiful no doubt. But sometimes it’s really difficult to distinguish it from the small Kwid when I see this car’s front on road.
Almost same fronts - Punch n nexon, skoda kodiak and kushaq and taigun n tiguan.. so does kwid n kiger. Bhot se log kiger ni lete kuki vo kwid jaisi lagti h. Kitne immature log h dikhawa jyada matter krta h unke liye😂
you wont believe but i once thought it was kwid then saw it carefully and it was kiger....
it's quite bigger than Kwid but even Kwid is amazing car so it shouldn't matter
Nice, Gagan is one of the few people to stick his neck out and not try to please everyone. We need these kind of honest reviews, otherwise most reviewers are too diplomatic nowdays.
I own RXT manual, your review was spot on. A pillar ne kitne baar galat hote hote bachaya hai. But the thing is Alto se switch kiya tha to looks was the first thing and drive comfort features at this price point was something i was looking for. By the way long route pe 22-24 kmpl aur city pe 16-17 is the mileage I get (non-turbo).
Then when you will drive Nexon you will definitely meet an accident because A piller in Nexon is very big and wide.
hey , can i contact you regarding the car? even i just got the rxt , upograded from alto, you could help me with some queries?
I own Kiger turbo manual variant and I can assure power is more than enough.

This is a practical and honest review....need some more content like this 💯🙏
Own a KIGER! At the value proposition you can live with few negatives .. otherwise it’s a good buy
Bahut hi accha aur honest batate hain. Bilkul sahi baat kahi hai ki jo limited driving ke liye use karna chahte hain, excessive enthusiast ke liye nahi, unke liye bahut acchi hai.
I took this from Banaglore to Delhi and return, and this is my second car after Skoda. It has performed really well if you know how to drive. Obviously there will be lag in gear switch but that you will get even in 20 lakhs car, that’s the one problem with automatic. In Bangalore, it gives 13-14 avg which is good considering the traffic. And driving European car is all together a different ball game , the pleasure it gives. You cannot compare this with Maruti, Hyundai and the worst in driving pleasure being Tata.
If you are okay with this after Skoda. I don’t even..
@@GaganChoudhary I have kept Skoda , I bought only for city commute for my wife. I was not confident taking this to Delhi, but had good experience driving it on highway, definitely not comparing with the Skoda. 😄
@@GaganChoudharyI understand this statement as much as you do.😏
Sir I have a question is good to add aftermarket DRL in scross because sometimes the upcoming car cant see us
Hi gagan bhai.. Need small suggestion. I have tata zest.. want to increase tyre width, rim is 5.5j. want to put ford rim, rim is 6j, having same pcd, rim dia and nut size. but zest has bore size of 65.1mm and ford has 63.4mm. offset is unknown. is it possible to install ford rim in my zest ?
40k km done so far. No issues so far. I differ on performance part.. it is infact very fast , in turbo manual
Yeah, He's a blind Hyundai Bhakt.
Thanks for the disclaimer Gagan bhai. The transparency is much appreciated.
Hi Gagan bhai. Thanks for the detailed video on Kiger. Is it worth buying Ignis in 2023 considering all the flaws in vehicles under this price range ?
Bhai very good and unbiased review 💯. Plan clear kar diye aap humara ab. Thank you.
Great work gagan bhai
You Amit sir and ICN doing amazing job ❤
Looking forward for more reviews.. this helps a lot
Should i upgrade from ignis to kiger turbo?
Is it comfortable for long Highway runs and inter city commute in cities like mumbai ??
Yes you can I have RXZ turbo
Am a satisfied owner of RXZ... However, your review is spot on!
Does BS6 phase 2 have same issues? I am planning to buy turbo mt rxz. Please suggest.
expectation can be high but then the budget should be high too, comparing the price with the overall package, we can say that the money is well spend
I agree to most of the negatives being a Kiger cvt owner myself, but in early 2023 it got a BS 6.2 update and the vibrations and refinement inside the cabin have improved drastically and the fuel economy is pretty good too. But one thing I have noticed personally in the Kiger and magnite cvt is that when you shift the gearstick from P to R there’s a slight jerk. Even when I shift directly from P to D. But for its price it’s a really nice and vfm product. But a major cost cutting issue I have is the lack of sound deadening rubber beading on the doors and the lack of sound deadening material in the boot. The fact that the magnite gets it and is around 15-20K lesser than the Kiger is a bit shocking. I will suggest the Kiger over the Magnite, only because it has more number of Airbags and the ease of access to Renault’s service centres compared to Nissan
Same syndicate wipers are there in hyundai cars too.
I am not that satisfied with those in my i20. What do you think of those.sirji.
Waited so long for this reivew being a kiger owner I agree with at every single point so accurately you covered everything 😃
Now you know we do a lot of hard work and deliver with honesty 😊
@@GaganChoudharyYes we believe you are honest bro😊
Great review, Thanks to your honesty.
Make a video on your favourite cars in each segment from budget hatchbacks to super car (also hyper car if possible) in 2023
I appreciate your work and efforts you put in.
Finally someone is showcasing , bit out of the , limelight cars . These kind of reviews are required
i20 sportz optional and kiger rxz which one is better?
Kindly revert ur opinion
sir new duster ke dimensions bigester concept vale honge ya change hogi
It's remarkable to see that these thoughts align with the everyday concerns of the car owners. In this fast-paced world, it's easy to get lost in the overwhelming options and choices available, which can often lead to confusion and doubts about our decisions.
Your insights shed light on the fact that people may believe they have made an excellent choice when purchasing a car, but in reality, there might be aspects that they hadn't considered. Your willingness to address this issue is truly commendable, as it helps car owners/buyers to be more aware and informed about their choices.
Your work is valuable and appreciated. Keep up the good work, looking forward for more such videos
thanks for this knowledge bhai ase hi review chaye bss boht help krte hai
Bahut Dino baad,ek super honest review from auto reviewer.
Welldone Gagan Bhai👍🏻
Honest review to tha , par detailed to nhi tha. Engine ke baare me kuch nhi bataya , sirf bekaar engine bolke kinara kar diya. .
I think , one of the best review, the way you described, really good
Rachit from MotorOctane needs a master class from Gagan to learn how to properly review a car.
bhai uska toh lagta hai brands ki baate bolta hai less negative more positive.
@@sangamkumar9369 The only negative thing that Rachit says about any car is "iska thigh support aur achha ho sakta hai" 😂
Absolutely
I have taken the test ride of turbo variant, it’s powerful as compared to 1.5 l engines and even steering feedback and ride comfort is good 😊
I agree 👍
Bhaiya as per you gadi mechanically side strong honi chahiye ya feature wise ?
Magnite badi dikhti hai, kya woh better kai Kiger se? non turo variant lenge toh engine chal payega 1lakh km?
Bought my Kiger MT RXZ two months ago. Overall it’s a good car with minor drawbacks as you mentioned. One thing I noticed, sometimes infotainment screen freezes but resets the next day.
kya kiger ka base model le skte hai pls suggest.non turbo
Gagan bhai always love your content ❤️ 🙏😎 love you gagan bhai 🥳
I am a big Renault kiger FAN, even though you highlighted many negative points which nobody noticed or shared before. though I don't own one, but few points that you highlighted make sense.
man ripped kiger's whole career in one video 😂
I’m owning Kiger Turbo since a year now and i can relate to all the negativities. I’ve complained about the noises during 1st servicing to the executive. The A pillar visibility is horrible. One thing he didn’t add about stiff suspension and body roll.
Very well explained sir!!
Behtareen Review bhai ❤
Mkbhd of Car Reviewer 😄
sir want to almost purchase kiger but now i confuse what should i do ..? i need car look good or big as well as need performance on road
Gagan Bhai Karuti fujuki kuch kar Rahi he acha?
I own Kiger and i agree with negatives and positives. But do i regret buying??? Not a bit!!!
Kharab raston mein rattling noise hoti hai kya??
Hi Gagan sir all your videos are informative and addictive to watch ❤❤😊
Thank you so much 😀
gagan ji mere pas punch 2023 phase 2 creative hai ,,,,,,,,,,,, kya ye punch se acchi hai ,,,jabki dono mei 3 cylinder engine hai please bataiye
I own the Kiger RXZ turbo variant and recently completed 10k kms. I ageed with all the points except one point related to performance. Trust me its turbo engine has very good power. I drove this car with 5 people at hill on rainy day. It smooth as butter. Yes on lower rpm you might feel less power but When its turbo hits at 1500 rpm you will feel its power.
yes he have not driven it much she flies 2nd gear sport mode 97 and 3rd gear 143 how it can be slow or underpowered?
Apki manual hai ya CVT. CVT ka performance dull fell hota hai.
@@ShreeSatamno, cvt peeforms great too, very quick
Gagan ji ,can you please tell me the list of cars which i can choose instead of choosing this car, even if the price is 1-2lakh higher then this. Please reply. Thank you
Damn boi! This was a harsh and but much needed review.
Gagan, you are doing great! Best wishes to you
Behtarin review gagan bhai.
Nice video very informative...
Is kiger is better than breeza or Nexon in automatic version
Dear GC, I have AMT non turbo top varient since January 23. I fully agree that the pick up is pathetic. sometimes i press the accelerator till it touches the floor, but it is still lethargic. I owned Renault SCala desiel manual which was like a sports car, unbelivable pick up of scala.. I miss that in this Renault car. Also city average is 11 or less. All other features are great. This is a car for slow drivers.. not for people like me who would like to cover distances when space in front of you is empty. It dosent allow me to variate my speed in city.
Gagan, nice review. Can you please do Venue there is a lot of confusion about features and price of s(0) and sx
Really appreciated ❤
Finally, someone criticized this car as it should have been. Also in Manual version the gear slotting is way too bad in this and Magnite as well.
Bhai eco pe koi update hai ky
The finest disclaimer we all want👌👌
Did you say Kiger turbo me power nahi hai?! And CVT gearbox accha nahi hai?!
Can u do the drive review of tata punch phase 2?
I found Ashish Masih's review of the Kiger more refined, more from a city driving perspective. Tier 2/3 cities and their attitudes will probably defer from the urban perspective
I don't usually comment on videos but this honest review made me to do it.. every point is correct
But there are some points which i haven't faced and that is dead steering. It has been 2 yrs n not a single time i felt my steering was dead and it returned to its place quickly. Non turbo variant so lacks power but yeah it is good for sedate drivers and some times on highway i have got mileage of 25km/ltr . because of driving between 60-70 and in ctiy too about 18 because of suitable gear for city and not changing gears frequently..plastic quality is too bad and there is rattling noise from windows sometimes
Suspension is good n i have replaced my left suspension under warranty due to that unbearable noise which was coming from left front suspension during sudden pot holes .and from then onwards i didn't had any issue regarding suspension. Yeah and one point you forgot is Ac is on weaker side may be in newer models it is updated or anything is done regarding this hope so.. Sometimes i have also read comments in groups that every kiger behaves differently . Some turbo variants too feel lack of power but some are good in power and gear box is also good..i've driven it mostly in hills n i am satisfied with it ❤ thankyou for such honest reviews
I so agree with u...I own a kwid...I wanted to upgrade to kiger...but after taking test drive n the feel of plastic material quality the seat belt..rearview mirror.....steering noise....mirror rolling up n down noise....after seeing all.this I canceled my plan
I felt suspension noisy and cheap quality as if I am sitting in Datsun ...is the suspension cheap quality as it also gets down while hard braking
I own Kiger RXT (O) manual. All the thing you said are accurate. Although one more issue is AC of this car is good but not that powerful. I am a relaxed driver and it fullfill all extra points you mentioned. Overall i am satisfied ❤
I own same model and I also say same to same, nothing different, no difference😅
I own RXZ does ur car auto unlock when u turn off the car after a trip?
@@syedayman3863 no. You need to unlock manually by pressing unlock button
Hi bro
Hows this RXT Optional performance with 5 people in steep roads
Does it performs well or any underpowered
@@sreeharsha4203 it may feel a little but u can go for turbo option if want some extra power. My advise is to take a long test drive to judge as pr your need
Quality content 👌
I have a budget of 12 Lakh, want to buy an SUV type car. Could you please suggest me a best option with hill assist as we live in hilly area. Thanks in advance brother
I have a Renault Kiger. I agree with each and every point Gagan pointed. I face exactly same issues.
Pls do more of these kinds of videos 🎉❤

best car under 8.5 with best comfort and safety?
Gagan I agree with you, I have Kiger RXZ AMT .. All things you said is correct.. Quality of the Internal Plastic Is Below Par, Biggest Issue is A pillar.. I really have take care every Turn i take, too much blind spot.. Fuel efficiency is around 10 in city (with Full AC), on Highway around 15 (with full AC), Mix is 13 KMPL.. the biggest positive is Space & looks and Ground clearance, Value for money.. at which the are offering features.. .. Every person / friend liked at first time.. Once you start using it then only you know all the issues.. But lets see how long i will keep it..
i have same model and agree withyou for all points including the last line
Positives negatives to har car me hota h.। But overall thik hi h car❤❤❤❤
Honest review 👍🎉🎉
Sir I own cvt from April 2023. Avi tak 3000 km chalaya hai in kolkata traffic. Mostly for office commute.
I agree with your most comments except the below
1. Milage. In city I am getting 13. Highways 19
2. Break noise. The car has a irritating break noise.
3. Also done some minor offroading. The car handles decently considering the price and fwd.
1. You must be very gentle and calculating as per MID.
2. Yes, poor parts all around. Maybe when you change pads, that will help.
3. Ground clearance and weight distribution is good. But don’t take it in muddy off road section or big rocky area.
@@GaganChoudhary Actually if you put the car in eco mode in highway and enable cruise control then you will get good milage.
No it was calcualted t2t. MID it was showing 22
very impressive review!!
In terms of quality yes the cost cutting is evident especially the exposed nuts and bolts..but i hardly agree with the opinion of the steering lock and the engine and gearbox performance...it feels a joy to drive and overtaking is not an issue..and having driven the venue i would say ithe over-all ride quality is better here...but yes throttle input has to be smooth.
Sir kindly make a video on all the gimmick features which the first time owner should avoid and should focus on driving instead, is touchscreen really that worth to be honest ? I find it useful only for map and navigation
"hi5, namaste" very good video buddy:-*
As an amt rxz owner, the first good thing is the looks. But overtaking is very difficult plus as he mentioned seat belt very difficult to put in insert. When i adjusted seat for my 6feet height, i have to bend and get inside. If i put seat back then entering fine but seat again to be positioned back to previous. Back seat passenger does not have full visibility as the glass is curvy. Another embarrassing thing you mistake kwid for kiger as both front is almost same.
Sir, u r the expert, and I already have kiger and it's my first car, but let me tell you it's very very very much value for money and see the actual price I r paying and don't compare this to altroz as itis hatch back
Magnite kiger se best hai??? Magnite aur triber me se konsi achi h?
Can i apply your points to Magnite as well... Seems they both have high common parts sharing.
Yes. Same.
Finally humare budget pe bui aa gaye aap banna saa 🙏
Great review. I own a Kiger RXT variant. For potential buyers I would like to say, you can go for kiger if you are looking for a budget compact SUV with good infotainment system and cabin, excellent passenger space, excellent boot space and great ground clearance. Downside to this car is definitely the engine and transmission. But practically speaking if you need a family car to get from point A to point B this car will do just fine.
Sir, mere pass Nissan magnite hai, mujhe bas suspension aur reverse gear mai vibrate karat hai uss se problem hai, but overall mujhe accha laga magnite. Mileage deta hai 21 - 22 kmpl with ac on, 80km/h ke speed se hi Chalta hu most of the time highways pe.
