In a bid to find a stronger foothold in the sub-compact SUV market, Renault has slashed the price of the RXT (O) manual version of the Renault Kiger. Previously priced at Rs 8.25 lakh, the Renault Kiger RXT (O) manual now costs Rs 7.99 lakh; a reduction of roughly Rs 26,000 in the price of the mid-spec trim of the sub-compact SUV. The RXT (O) continues with the same features list as before, which includes LED headlights and tail-lights, an 8.0-inch touchscreen and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

We are confident that the new enhanced range of Renault Kiger will exceed the expectations of our customers and reinforce our position as a trusted brand in the automotive industry”, Mamillapalle added.
The Kiger operates in a segment now dominated by the Tata Nexon, but also has to contend with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300 and the mechanically-related Nissan Magnite. Prices for the Renault Kiger range from Rs 6.50 lakh to Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom).
