The new Renault Kiger has been launched in South Africa as an affordable SUV alternative. But is there a catch? Let’s take a closer look:
We got to experience the new Renault Kiger on some country roads near Pretoria this week, and thankfully we were able to sample both engine types.
The 1.0 Turbo model that I tried next, also in manual guise, provided a significantly enhanced driving experience. The gearbox felt better, the engine was quieter and, most importantly, performance was very impressive. It doesn’t lag on pull-off and the vehicle picks up speed very quickly. The Kiger’s ride quality was reasonably comfortable and roadholding was adequate, but it can be noisy at times and all considered, it’s not the most refined SUV out there, but this has to be balanced against its relatively low asking price.The interior is best described as sensible. Most of the textures and surfaces correlate with the car’s affordable price tag and there’s little in the way of cabin glamour.
