Mumbai to Ganpatipule in Renault Kiger: 5 things worth highlighting

The Renault Kiger RXZ Turbo has enough power to drive on all kinds of roads and overtaking is not an issue if you stay in the turbo range.

BHPian anuragsingh recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I took my Renault Kiger on another trip, this time in the first week of January 2025, from Mumbai to Ganpatipule.

Started at 6 AM from Mumbai and went through Panvel before joining NH66. The roads are good overall. But there are certain sections on NH66 still under construction, and due to that, there are a lot of diversions on the route.

The last 40 km of this Mumbai to Ganpatipule is on state highways, a lot of that on very narrow roads, passing through ghats and forests. Be very careful while passing through it as the road is wide enough for just 1 vehicle and if there is another one coming from the opposite side, 1 will have to move away from the road to give way.

Our stay in Ganpatipule was in the MTDC resort, which, in my opinion, is the best place to stay here. It is right next to the Ganpati temple and has a private beach.

About Kiger Now

I will complete 3 years with Kiger in April 2025. And so far it has been a perfect companion. No big issues so far. I have only gone to a service centre for periodic maintenance, that's it.

A few good things worth highlighting:

1. The RXZ Turbo variant has enough power to drive on all kinds of roads and overtaking is not an issue if you stay in the turbo range.
2. Wireless Android Auto works flawlessly. I have driven for more than 12 hours a day on many occasions and this feature always works.
3. The infotainment screen is not very fancy. But it works. Have never encountered a day when it stopped or got stuck.
4. Light steering helps in city drives and it gains enough weight at higher speeds.
5. Very good mileage

Overall Kiger has been a very reliable and low-maintenance car for me. And I plan to keep it for many more years before upgrading to a new one.
