U forgot 2 mention that its petrol efficient, has sufficient space and drives well on the high way... In my opinion seems like u hate Renault period, magnite also has cheap interior but u mentioned that its not an issue... I own a kiger and am happy
All her reviews are a waste of time actually. Very biased against Renault, and very pro Kia. Very little info on the actual car, just loads of singing, and moaning about other drivers
I think there's a bit of brand bias and little bit of nit picking wrt this review. Wireless charger - I bet you that most people who are buying these cars don't have phones that are Suitable for wireless charging + the cable charges are waaaaay faster than any wireless bit, so it shouldn't be a factor Cuppie holders - personally couldn't be bothered by that, use reusable bottles and slip them on the side of your door Unlock / lock - I'll give you that, that feels outdated But I think her hatred for the Kwid and love for Kia is clouding her You could also nit pick the Sonet & magnate .eg. they have awful speed/odometer display and and I don't love this car nor a fan of Renault, but the review felt too negative without substantial reasons to be, based on reasons given Still one of my favorite car reviewers though,
@@doomslayer9735suspension is great she didn't mention it in this review nor does she mention the kWh and torque,I wouldn't take reviews from someone like this
Juliette, at 3:15 you mentioned the interior and that the plastics are not great. Well, that is the truth. HOWEVER, it is interesting that in your review of the Nissan Magnite at 1:57 - 2:31 in that video review (which is in the same price range, same vehicle type etc) you mention that the interior plastics in the Magnite are also not great but then you go on to mention that it is not really a big deal at all because I mean, who touches the dashboard anyway? (which I agree with btw) but I noted that difference. You put (essentially) the same thing in a more positive light for the Magnite than you did with the Renault. But yes, the plastics are not of great quality. I am of the opinion that (depending on the price point of course) some of these "shortcuts" where they do not impact too much on the experience, can be considered reasonable. And on the Sonet, while I have not driven it, looks really great. I think also to bear in mind when comparing these vehicles are the different models. The Kiger Zen turbo manual is 40K cheaper and has the same engine and is nearly entirely the same as the top spec, bar the alloys and the sport mode, fog lights and a few minor cosmetic differences. Then when comparing it to the Sonet in that regard, it kind of warps things because of the price differential. Thanks for the great reviews and keep up the great work!
A small point: You kept saying competitors like Kia sonet, Urban Cruiser and so on, but you didn't realize that those are not Kiger's competitors. Kiger is priced way below those. Kiger's competition would be with Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite and so on in that range.
At the lower end it's competing with the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, where it loses. The upper end spec is slightly cheaper than the Jolion, where it gets absolutely smashed in every way other than fuel efficiency.
@@OraM2comp Wrong. Renault Capture is direct comparison to Kia Sonet in terms of size, engine, etc. Capture outsmart Sonet by far. I've test driven both from one dealer. Sonet seriously overated.
I have unfortunately bought this car and I have a lot of regret. The built quality is terrible. I've had to take it back to the dealership 3 times within a month of buying it. The wireless android auto doesn't work half the time. The absence of cup holders is a disaster (I've spilled my coffee a couple of times already). The driver's side window doesn't go down completely (I was told that's how the car is made and I must accept it). I've had gear issues. Poor paint job on the bonnet. No light in the boot. I can't fit a tow bar on it for my bike rack. The not unlocking thing is very annoying. The only good thing is the fuel efficiency
Are you in India ? Even in Europe, Renault car's are not the best class quality of the market. This is high volume production with a "cost killer" at many level of the car builting just like Carlos Ghosn wanted to be. Rather cheap cars but not great quality...
My gf bought a Nissan Micra at R300000 price point and I really wanted her to get a second Duster, unfortunately this wasn't out as yet because this looks way better than the vehicle she got. So maybe this segment is way bigger than comparing it to budget suv's. I saw onsle of these in the traffic yesterday and it looks fantastic. Don't underestimate the fact that you getting a turbo charged motor, the other manufacturers won't be giving you the same performance. Cup holders to me isn't a thing, never had anything that can spill in my vehicle
You can unlock the car with the button in the center console !? With a review it would be nice to explain more when you are so negative towards something. Amt is a different driving style, doesn’t mean it’s no good. Also depends on your climate.
You're not a fan of Renault thats for sure,you can find a hundred reasons not buy any of these x over models,the kiger is money well spent, you even trying to compare this car to a Kwid which is extremely odd cos the cars are nothing a like,you didn't talk about the engin the fuel efficiency nor do you mentioned the kWh or the torque This is an very biased review.
Thanks for the honest review! I would have preferred to see the new Sandero being brought to SA - that had very positive reviews worldwide. However, Renault in their questionable wisdom decided to bring this instead... Anyway.
True... automakers tend to send south africa all those 'never heard of' models which are the least attractive . To mention a few... where's the new Peugeot 308, Alfa Romeo, megane e-tec, Nissan sentra? We see & know about these models, but they never reach our shores...😭😭😭
Same situation in latin america. They won't be bringing the new Dacia's, God knows why. And they won't bring the Kiger either, they're coming up with a new model specifically for us instead. Which is more scary than exciting tbh
what's with the door knob with a nice hole in it??? criminals delight.....piece of wire through the door jam and the vehicle is open! Most vehicles today have door knobs at the door handle making it almost impossible to open! Good vid Juliet , always honest. :)

This is an opinion, not a review. My daughter has been driving her Clio .9T for the last 7 years without any hassle or breakdown. I believe this is a fake blonde opinion that is more interested in vibration than in a technical review of capabilities. Most of this video centres around face exposure than the actual car. I drove the car for my wife, because that is affordable while having children at university. Fake blondes should not test drive highly technical equipment. Did you tell your mother that the car you approved for her has a fatal engine flaw? There is an Indian lady doing a review on this car, watch it, that's the benchmark for ladies doing car reviews. I believe women are more than capable. Do not impress us with kitch. We are interested in the car, not some Juliet.
i agree it was more about her and not about the car. She just hates it.... and people saying its an HONEST review like really🤔 because they want to be nice because its a girl saying things she hates about it n not really reviewing this is a good car and purposeful and like all other cars it will have its ups and downs.
Great review. You managed to talk me out of adding this to my list for my change in 2022. Any chance of you reviewing the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro? It's been popping up all over social media and the specs vs price seem appealing but the brand makes me nervous.
@@memeguyTM a few things came to mind. I mentioned in a previous comment how Julia had reviewed the Nissan Magnite and she mentioned the cheap plastics but that the cheap plastics in the Magnite were not an issue because no one ever touches the dash anyway. Then on the same with the Kiger, she criticised the plastics as a negative. Note that the Kiger and the Magnite are manufactured on the same platform. Very similar vehicles.
@@memeguyTM I got the Kiger turbo zen for R250K and that's considerably cheaper than the Sonet. Julia testing the R290K intens with CVT, is of course different, so it at depends on the specific model. I reckon I got the best value for money for R250K but what do I know? I could be wrong.
@@jeffmeneses6426 I read her other reviews on Renaults. She simply hates the brand and it makes a "review" like this absolutely pointless. They gave the Sandero an average grade yet that car was considered best in class in so many countries. I've watched ignition TV for a long time and it's a shame that she shares the spotlight with Marius Robert's and proper motor journalists. Not liking a brand should not factor is giving fair reviews.
Your personality just makes you such a relatable and smile fulled person. You always bring a smile to my face during my anxious nights and might be one of the best motoring journalists I’ve come across. Thank you Juliet, I’m looking forward to you reviews to come!😀
Juliette, the lack of cupholders is actually a very special achievement by Renault. In the greater scheme of things, it should not be an absolute deal breaker but it is weird. Did you notice how awkward the seatbelt clips in the front are, they're positioned tightly between the seat and the centre console. I thought you might have mentioned it. Also the lack of any sort of lighting in the boot compartment. Yes, it the interior build quality could be better but it is not terrible, considering the price point and the necessity to save on costs somewhere and having a plasticky interior is not a deal breaker for me, so long as it is not a datsun go or Toyota etios type plasticky interior. The crucial part in this regard and I think, is that the fine points, the finishes which one utilises (and touches most often), perhaps the touch points if I can say, are in decent nick. Like the control dials and buttons are of an acceptable quality. Cabin confort is generally fine and legroom is good. Storage compartments all-round but particularly in the front (apart from the lack of front cupholder abomination/horror) are actually quite abundant. The centre storage console is deep and the storage compartment at the passenger side is deep too. The drive is okay, middding. It handles capably enough for what it is but of course, for what it is, people can't expect to fly around corners with it either. The different driving modes are interesting but the eco mode tortures the cars output to the point of strangulation. I think it is worth mentioning the fuel economy, which is impressive and is surely, these days, crucially important. The turbo model is a no brainer, when considering that this vehicle is only available with a 1 litre engine. You will comfortably get below 7 litres per 100km for combined cycle, possibly closer to 6l per 100km and it can be better or worse. The exterior styling is ace, that's however subjective.
@@wack202able thanks for the comment. I'm simply mentioning some details which I thought may be worth noting and not to throw shade as I enjoy all of Juliette's reviews. I just think that it really matters what model you're reviewing too and in this case Juliette reviewed the top spec cvt model going for R289 900 whereas I know that for R249 900 the turbo zen model is 90% similar in terms of specs, making the plasticky interior less of an issue. That's my opinion. Fuel economy is also great. Some irritating oversights though too, from Renault. Reviews are somewhat subjective. I could review a vehicle tomorrow and leave out a ton of stuff too, especially if there are perhaps time constraints involved in creating these videos but I usually tend to notice a lot of details quite quickly.
I bought a Triber last year and all I can say is.... I have cup holders but it's SQUARE shaped. Like wtf none of my cans fit in there I have to squash the can to squeeze it in.
That reaction @ 2:42 "...when last...!!!" priceless 🤣🤣🤣 I hope Renault get to see that, & they'll be like 'oops'. That lock function is outright a design flaw, child-lock with a twist 😂 locking the driver this time...
I could feel the Kwidness of this car from the back seat. Someone said they want to buy this as an upgrade from a Clio 4 and I cringed (I also drive a Clio 4 and happy) it would be a huge downgrade.
i must add , those shape of door unlocking knobs , with the holes in them , just makes it easier to get a wire coat hanger or similar hook thru it to unlock , faster for thieves to steal your stuff. you had me at cupholders. my daily driving daihatsu has cupholders in each door , two in front of gear lever , two behind the handbrake. it also has a light in the boot and no exposed wiring.
hope you were not on weeds to compare a Kia Sonet which is a lot more expensive car with the Kiger. you get what you pay for. seems Kia gave a pretty fat cheque. toyota urban cruiser is a rebadged sukuzi brezza, somebody told you that & a segment higher than this compact SUV. got get a life
My dad once drove around with my brother in law in a rented KWID and commented that the ride was as crap as a 1972 Datsun 1500. And he has MANY cars under his belt. MANY MANY!!I hope this is not as crap as that.
Yours is indeed not an honest review. You seem to have chosen to review Kiger with an already negative mindset, may be due to its name that resembles "Tiger". It would however, have made more sense, had you been unbiased and then pointed out the flaws. And it is definitely not a fat version of Kwid. That said, there was something really interesting in the way you said things.
The cheerful Juliet is more fun, the car is cheap so It would fail Juliet's expectations, Juliet is higher maintenance than a cheap car 🚗, a dacia sondero would be Juliet's idea of hell! much love Juliet!👍❤️🇬🇧
Actually if you have been following Juliet for a while you will notice that She actually does like a good value for money car, the Kiger has way too many corners that were cut, go test drive one, its not a good use of materials. The Nissan Magnite its based on is actually made a bit better but also has a bit of an issue with materials. The market for this car is there but it cant look pretty on the outside but not carry the same feel on the inside. And yes plastics are going to be there but not that harsh. Her review of a Sandero is actually not bad. ruclips.net/video/xhr3ywu0t50/видео.html
Thank you for such a full answer, the attention is gratefully received, Not every subscriber has been subcribed for many years, south African cars are a mystery in the u.k👍🇬🇧❤️ much love
The Kiger is excellent value for money, in my opinion. However I got the mid-spec model for 40K less and which doesn't have a lot of differences to the top spec model, so that's why I will remark that it is great value for money. At 290K I can more understand where Juliette is coming from however. That's why I did my research before buying and the negative aspects aren't deal breakers. The lack of cupholders is weird and quite frankly a ridiculous omission but overall, for 250K for the turbo Zen, I have few complaints.
Not my first time hearing a negative review... It looks nice on the outside and is very spacious and has a big boot but seems cheaply made inside... So I will no longer be considering it.. Looking into buying Kia sonet or Hyundai venue or Chery tiggo 4 pro or Haval jolion..
Honest review and I loved it. Looks good outside but I knew from the launch that something is not right about this car. Anyway Renault cars are not for me
Yes, it may be a budget car, but that carpet issue at 3:23 is still unforgivable! I mean how much are they REALLY saving by not finishing that bit?! Anyways, I don't think you were too critical at all! If anything it shows us that you are honest, are not afraid to call out the manufacturers (brave in this industry but HIGHLY respectable), and that you won't take bribes! Although Terence with Kia... hmmmm... that explains that I guess ;)! Joking obviously joking! Great video! :D
There are clearly Renaults and Renaults. Renault should do the right thing and rebrand the cheaper models (Kwid, Sandero, Triber, Kiger, Duster) as Dacias while keeping the Renault name for the more expensive models (Clio, Megane, Koleos, etc.) just like Nissan did with Datsun. (By the way, when are we getting the new Clio? The current one has been on the market longer than the Citi Golf...) And I agree with you on the door locking mechanism - I last did that in my Mazda 323...
Yho! Juliet you really hate this car and it's sibling Kwid.. but I agree quality is questionable,I only like the instrument cluster of Kiger, I wish Nissan Magnate had the same...
5:07 LOL Is anyone a Kwid Fan? If I had to choose between a Kwid or a DDT (Datsun's Death Trap) I'd take a Bajaj Qute. Here's Auto Trader's review of the Qute for reference ---> ruclips.net/video/ua-wivhvxT8/видео.html
Ah finally! And now I’m hella disappointed. Definitely keeping the ‘urban brezza’ on my list! And ONLY not going for the sonet because it doesn’t have split rear seats… tsk
My advice? Test drive all of them and read through and research all the nuances of these vehicles and try to best align your potential purchase, in line with your budget and your needs.
Alert.. Karen's reviews.. Alert Felt like someone handed a smartphone to a octogenarian 🤐 2:25 doesn't know there's Central lock unlock button right next to the hazard light button and cries when using the non user way. Goes on to Crib on features she didn't choose but are available like wireless charger and cup holders.. heck it's got Central arm rest and cup holder even for the passenger and Karen is complaining on one for driver.. Rest all are opinions.. rest view like a spectacle... give us a break... Goes on to Compares to cars outside the budget segment! Actual review inputs i got from REAL reviewers as below 1) Sound proofing sub par in cabin 2) AC lags behind when you start on a sunny day 3) Shockers arent Renault befitting 4) It is VALUE FOR MONEY !!!

I just think that it really matters what model you're reviewing too and in this case Juliette reviewed the top spec cvt model going for R289 900 whereas I know that for R249 900 the turbo zen model is 90% similar in terms of specs, making the plasticky interior less of an issue. That's my opinion. Fuel economy is also great. Some irritating oversights though too, from Renault. Reviews are somewhat subjective. I could review a vehicle tomorrow and leave out a ton of stuff too, especially if there are perhaps time constraints involved in creating these videos but I usually tend to notice a lot of details quite quickly.
This is a much better review than the video
I bought a Triber last year and all I can say is.... I have cup holders but it's SQUARE shaped. Like wtf none of my cans fit in there I have to squash the can to squeeze it in.
Take a measurement of the squre go to proclain maker custom made glasses
🤣🤣🤣
lol
😂😂😂 Juliet spitting bars "aah the kiger like tiger"
That reaction @ 2:42 "...when last...!!!" priceless 🤣🤣🤣
I hope Renault get to see that, & they'll be like 'oops'. That lock function is outright a design flaw, child-lock with a twist 😂 locking the driver this time...
I could feel the Kwidness of this car from the back seat. Someone said they want to buy this as an upgrade from a Clio 4 and I cringed (I also drive a Clio 4 and happy) it would be a huge downgrade.
It even looks like a Kwid that went to the gym
"It costs probably R4 to put in a piece of plastic" 😂
Lol 😆 you just don't like Renault most of you are bought by certain brands.
Not true. She loves the Sandero Stepway
True
@@jolene9952 nah, she hates Renault period. No pun intended!
That door lock button is designed to be opened with a coat hanger.
Love your honesty!!!! 😊keep up the great work.
that door lock thing is absolutely not good for our notorious country.
They won't get anywhere with this car don't be fooled by this knobs
R290 000 is really not a budget price bracket for me. Especially not if its being powered by a one litre engine
That's for the top of the range though.
The intens is a 1litre turbo engen
i must add , those shape of door unlocking knobs , with the holes in them , just makes it easier to get a wire coat hanger or similar hook thru it to unlock , faster for thieves to steal your stuff. you had me at cupholders. my daily driving daihatsu has cupholders in each door , two in front of gear lever , two behind the handbrake. it also has a light in the boot and no exposed wiring.
Why do the carpets inside it look like it was cut and fitted by Barney the Dinosaur 🦖 messy!
lol no ways, this car is way better than the urban cruiser. from the
on set
hope you were not on weeds to compare a Kia Sonet which is a lot more expensive car with the Kiger. you get what you pay for. seems Kia gave a pretty fat cheque. toyota urban cruiser is a rebadged sukuzi brezza, somebody told you that & a segment higher than this compact SUV. got get a life
Exactly
after driving a few cars in the segment, this review is highly biased if you look at things you dont mind on cars in the same segment...
Appreciate the honestly pop
@Juliet When are you doing Chery Tiggo 4 review
I think we can all appreciate how honest you are
My dad once drove around with my brother in law in a rented KWID and commented that the ride was as crap as a 1972 Datsun 1500. And he has MANY cars under his belt. MANY MANY!!I hope this is not as crap as that.
This vehicles is nothing like the kwid. The front styling is fairly reminiscent of the kwid but that is where all similarities begin and end.
It's a terrible review,this car is absolutely nothing like a Kwid infact it's great
Here in india people are going gaga over it and the main issue is its underpowered 999cc for a SUVmy hyundai i10 hatchback is 1200cc.
I hear you on the door locks - they're like from 1997 (like push a wire through the door rubber 1997)
Yours is indeed not an honest review. You seem to have chosen to review Kiger with an already negative mindset, may be due to its name that resembles "Tiger". It would however, have made more sense, had you been unbiased and then pointed out the flaws.
And it is definitely not a fat version of Kwid.
That said, there was something really interesting in the way you said things.
Worst car journalist out there
It is not widely promoted in India
Nice review. When you going to test the Haval H6
How does it sound when putting pressure on the accelerator
The cheerful Juliet is more fun, the car is cheap so It would fail Juliet's expectations, Juliet is higher maintenance than a cheap car 🚗, a dacia sondero would be Juliet's idea of hell! much love Juliet!👍❤️🇬🇧
Actually if you have been following Juliet for a while you will notice that She actually does like a good value for money car, the Kiger has way too many corners that were cut, go test drive one, its not a good use of materials. The Nissan Magnite its based on is actually made a bit better but also has a bit of an issue with materials. The market for this car is there but it cant look pretty on the outside but not carry the same feel on the inside.
And yes plastics are going to be there but not that harsh. Her review of a Sandero is actually not bad. ruclips.net/video/xhr3ywu0t50/видео.html
Thank you for such a full answer, the attention is gratefully received, Not every subscriber has been subcribed for many years, south African cars are a mystery in the u.k👍🇬🇧❤️ much love
The Kiger is excellent value for money, in my opinion. However I got the mid-spec model for 40K less and which doesn't have a lot of differences to the top spec model, so that's why I will remark that it is great value for money. At 290K I can more understand where Juliette is coming from however. That's why I did my research before buying and the negative aspects aren't deal breakers. The lack of cupholders is weird and quite frankly a ridiculous omission but overall, for 250K for the turbo Zen, I have few complaints.
Basically ur review is zero.. She knows nothing about cars..all her facts are topsy tervy..
Oh man the lack of cupholders 😢
yea yea we got it you know how to sing now you do your duty and do test....ah you forgot
Not my first time hearing a negative review... It looks nice on the outside and is very spacious and has a big boot but seems cheaply made inside... So I will no longer be considering it..
Looking into buying Kia sonet or Hyundai venue or Chery tiggo 4 pro or Haval jolion..
Jeez you make this car sound so kuk. 😔 We need to change from a Toyota Corolla quest to a more fuel efficient, decent car. Any ideas?
So today i passed by the iconic parking and took pictures
1:18
We get wireless charging in India in kiger
I've been waiting
Honest review and I loved it. Looks good outside but I knew from the launch that something is not right about this car. Anyway Renault cars are not for me
Yes, it may be a budget car, but that carpet issue at 3:23 is still unforgivable! I mean how much are they REALLY saving by not finishing that bit?! Anyways, I don't think you were too critical at all! If anything it shows us that you are honest, are not afraid to call out the manufacturers (brave in this industry but HIGHLY respectable), and that you won't take bribes! Although Terence with Kia... hmmmm... that explains that I guess ;)! Joking obviously joking! Great video! :D
Wow thanks for this review I won't be buying this anymore. Haval Jolion here I come 😊😄
A car that has only recently been safety tested 😂😂😂
Man… quite harsh dude!!
This vs Magnite?
I drive a Magnite,it has wireless charging,cruise control,traction control..these are some of the things kiger doesn't have.
Oi we were about to look at one tomorrow for my daughter now its not happening after this review.
She really hates Renault yhea?
But this car has wireless charging and cup holders
There are no cupholders in the front. An aftermarket alternative would need to be purchased.
The pigeons having fun 😂😂
I'd rather get that new Chery Tiggo 4 Pro instead of this. 🤦🏾♂️
Absolutely!
My dear there’s a unlock button there 😂
Yerrrrrrr, is it not just this test unit that looks dodgy?
You are souf african ,you must like Toyota and hate Renault's
😂 Thanks for the honest review Juliet I was about to request quotation for the car🤦🏽
There are clearly Renaults and Renaults. Renault should do the right thing and rebrand the cheaper models (Kwid, Sandero, Triber, Kiger, Duster) as Dacias while keeping the Renault name for the more expensive models (Clio, Megane, Koleos, etc.) just like Nissan did with Datsun. (By the way, when are we getting the new Clio? The current one has been on the market longer than the Citi Golf...) And I agree with you on the door locking mechanism - I last did that in my Mazda 323...
It is better to buy a second hand car than to buy such cars.
FRONX ALL THE WAY GUYS❤❤❤❤
Suzuki's are rust buckets, especially the ones from India.
"I'm so lazy I'm such a Diva" 🤣🤣
Maan I actually thought kiger was a nice car, I'm confused now....
Renault Kiger = Renault Captur 2 with Dacia Spring/Duster style... Because Renault Kwid = DACIA SPRING
Thanks for your honesty
Yho! Juliet you really hate this car and it's sibling Kwid.. but I agree quality is questionable,I only like the instrument cluster of Kiger, I wish Nissan Magnate had the same...
i dunno if its available in sa but try the mahindra scorpioN. i am planning to buy it.
My brother bought it 😞. Btw why isn’t Tata launching cars in SA . Would love to hear ur review on Tata harrier . Haha
Omg please don't quit your day job
5:07 LOL Is anyone a Kwid Fan?
If I had to choose between a Kwid or a DDT (Datsun's Death Trap) I'd take a Bajaj Qute.
Here's Auto Trader's review of the Qute for reference ---> ruclips.net/video/ua-wivhvxT8/видео.html
sonnet is a shit car. in india that model has got such a bad rep. they discontinued it. the built quality of sonnet is questionable.
Ah finally! And now I’m hella disappointed. Definitely keeping the ‘urban brezza’ on my list! And ONLY not going for the sonet because it doesn’t have split rear seats… tsk
Try the Suzuki Breeza ...same car as Toyota but less likely to be stolen in 🇿🇦
My advice?
Test drive all of them and read through and research all the nuances of these vehicles and try to best align your potential purchase, in line with your budget and your needs.
Those wheels look comically small on that car when i saw the sideview
They're 16 inch wheels. Look fine imo however that's subjective of course.
Kigarrrr like Tigaaar 😂😆😆
Kadjar much better and build quality to match.😊
kadjar cost a couple of thousands more
Thanks for a great review I agree it’s a crap car
The cringe in this video
Wonder you could blame French for this.
Best review ever😂
Alert.. Karen's reviews.. Alert
Felt like someone handed a smartphone to a octogenarian 🤐
2:25 doesn't know there's Central lock unlock button right next to the hazard light button and cries when using the non user way.
Goes on to Crib on features she didn't choose but are available like wireless charger and cup holders.. heck it's got Central arm rest and cup holder even for the passenger and Karen is complaining on one for driver..
Rest all are opinions.. rest view like a spectacle... give us a break...
Goes on to Compares to cars outside the budget segment!
Actual review inputs i got from REAL reviewers as below
1) Sound proofing sub par in cabin
2) AC lags behind when you start on a sunny day
3) Shockers arent Renault befitting
4) It is VALUE FOR MONEY !!!
XUV 700 pla

hey
This and the kwid are absolutely vile things
Crap review..
