The Renault Kiger facelift is due to arrive later this year and road trials have already begun. A test mule of the upcoming compact SUV was recently spotted in Ooty. Although camouflaged, it did reveal some interesting design details.
Looking at the latest spy images, it seems like the Kiger will receive a minor cosmetic update. The test car appears to have clear lens taillights and is equipped with a rear spoiler, roof rails and a shark fin antenna.
While the image showing the front end is slightly blurry, the new Kiger appears to have a slightly larger front grille with LED DRLs on either side. It might also get redesigned front and rear bumpers and a new set of alloy wheels.
The Kiger facelift is expected to be offered with the same set of engines as the outgoing model. These include a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated, 3-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol. Transmission options will also remain the same, with a 5-speed manual and AMT being offered on the NA petrol, while the Turbo version will get a CVT option.

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.
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:
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.

Renault is all set to roll out a mid-cycle refresh for the Kiger. The compact SUV was recently spotted testing for the first time as it began its road trials ahead of the market launch slated for later this year.
The spy image shows a heavily camouflaged prototype, which means there could be significant updates made to the car. The Kiger facelift appears to have an upright front fascia with sharp wraparound headlamps, while the rear features a raked windshield and a roof spoiler.
The updated Kiger is also expected to get new front and rear bumpers and will sport Renault’s redesigned logo. Inside, we could see a few changes being made to the dashboard, while new seat upholstery and trims should freshen up the cabin.
The Kiger facelift is expected to be offered with the same set of engines as the outgoing model. These include a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated, 3-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol. Transmission options will also remain the same, with a 5-speed manual and AMT being offered on the NA Petrol, while the Turbo version will get a CVT option.

Renault is reportedly working on two mass-market EVs for the Indian market. These will be based on the Kiger and Triber, with the former expected to be launched in 2027.
According to media reports, Renault is developing the Kiger EV under the codename 'Project RJ2K5'. It is said to be based on a dedicated EV platform. The electric SUV could go into production in the second half of 2026 and is expected to go on sale around March 2027.
Reports suggest that the Kiger EV will be aimed at mass-market buyers, with a target price of under Rs 15 lakh. An electric version of the Triber is also said to be on the cards.
Renault is reportedly in talks with Tata AutoComp to source batteries for its upcoming EVs. The company is looking to source components locally in order to keep costs down.
Apart from the two EVs, Renault is also planning to launch the updated versions of the Kiger and Triber. Next year, we will witness the return of the Duster, followed by its 7-seater version, the Bigster.

Renault India has announced that it plans to launch the next-generation Renault Kiger and Triber in the second half of 2025.
The Kiger hasn't received any major updates since its launch. But now, instead of a midlife facelift, Renault has decided to introduce a new generation altogether. Hence, we can expect the Kiger to feature a heavily revised exterior and interior in line with the brand's current design philosophy.
Similarly, the Triber has only received minor feature updates throughout its lifetime. With the new-gen model, we can expect a big update, along with a complete design makeover.
However, both models are likely to retain the same set of engines as the current generation. These include 1.0-litre naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol units.
Renault has also confirmed a "premium SUV" for 2026. It is likely to be the new-gen Duster, which was expected to be launched this year.
