The carandbike Show - Episode 886 Renault Kiger vs Rivals | Honda Drive To Discover

One of the first concepts that you study in Economics is perfect competition! And a near perfect example of that in the Indian automobile industry is the subcompact SUV segment! With the coming of the Renault Kiger, Indian car buyers have nine car models to choose from, with each model getting multiple variants too! So, it is a problem of plenty, you see. And yes! It is a motley crew of subcompact SUVs that we have here! The Kiger is proverbial ‘new kid on the block’; the Venue was the winner of our last subcompact SUV shootout, beating the Sonet. And the Tata Nexon is here since it wasn’t a part of our previous subcompact SUV comparison! So, does the Kiger have enough mettle to fend off its established rivals or not? Time to find out! The Honda Drive To Discover has entered its tenth edition, and this year the drive was from Bengaluru to Goa. Of course, with all due COVID protocols in place! We had had the entire fleet of Honda cars at our disposal for this trim, including its current flagship, the new-gen City. On this 800+ kilometre drive, Seshan Vijayraghvan got to cover everything from the pristine coffee plantations of Chikmagalur and the coastal cuisines of Mangluru, to the beaches of Kundapura and Goa.
