Renault Kiger vs Tata Tigor Comparison

Take a moment with the Renault Kiger, and you know that it is not pursuing pure performance or luxury. Instead, it is concerned with what the majority of buyers actually require: space, practicality and good value. It fits easily into your routine, whether you're running in the city daily or taking an infrequent highway run. You are offered a high driving position, high visibility and low running stress. It isn’t perfect. The naturally aspirated engine is modest, and the cabin materials are in harmony with its price. Nevertheless, according to Kingshuk Dutta, it is a good-looking car that has only been made better and is of great value for money. That sums up the Kiger well.

The Tata Tigor knows exactly what it needs to be. It is not trying to be a corner-carving sports sedan. Instead, it serves as a highly practical, pocket-friendly runabout for the everyday buyer. The addition of the iCNG AMT variant is also a massive win for urban drivers who want low running costs without the constant excessive fuel consumption in bad traffic.

Remarkably, the 1.2-litre engine lacks some punch when revved hard, and the cabin materials are a bit workmanlike compared to the premium feel of the Hyundai Aura. However, it filters out road bumps brilliantly, keeping occupants comfortable over pothole-ridden terrain. Overall, if you want a safe, solid car that keeps your fuel bills low, the Tigor is an incredibly smart buy.

Seshan summarises,

“If you’re looking for a frugal, city-friendly automatic, the Tigor iCNG AMT ticks all the right boxes.”
