Renault has just unveiled the Kiger concept, meant to preview an all-new upcoming small crossover aimed initially at the Indian market. The production version of the Kiger, said to measure less than 4 meters long, will give Renault yet another option for buyers in India, joining the Kwid, Duster and Triber in the carmaker’s range.
Visually, the Kiger concept stands out
with its nearly full-width LED headlights, sculpted hood, slender windshield
and a semi-floating roof (plus a futuristic roof rack). The side mirrors have
been designed to look like airplane wings (the bottom part), while the rear end
features a spoiler, central exhaust and C-shaped tail lights. We wouldn’t bet
on those mirrors making it into production though.
The show car also comes with a green
‘Aurora Borealis’ exterior, to go with various fluorescent touches that
highlight aluminum elements such as the door handles, bumper inserts, logo
contours and brake calipers. nce it enters production, the Kiger will aim to
“attract customers looking for novelty and modernity in a B-segment that
represents 51% of the Indian market.”
The production model will also be exported
to markets outside of India, although that’s all the French carmaker will say
at the moment.
