The Renault Kiger is a stylish and feature-packed sub-compact SUV designed for India’s value-conscious yet aspirational buyers. With its bold styling, roomy cabin, and dual engine options a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol it offers versatility for both city driving and highway runs. Positioned as an affordable SUV in the under-4m category, the Kiger rivals models like the Nissan Magnite, Tata Nexon, Tata Punch, and Maruti Brezza.
Previously, small petrol cars under 4 metres with engines up to 1200cc like the Renault Kiger were taxed at 28% GST and 1% cess, totalling 29%. This inflated its ex-showroom price, especially on the higher-spec turbo petrol trims, and reduced its cost competitiveness compared to rivals.
With the introduction of GST 2.0, effective September 22, 2025, the cess has been abolished, and the Kiger now falls under a flat 18% GST slab. This has led to an 11% reduction in total tax, which means the Kiger gets a price cut of around ₹50,000–₹96,000 depending on the variant. This makes the Renault Kiger an even stronger value for money in the highly competitive compact SUV space.
