Renault Kiger Gets New Evolution+ Variant With Affordable Turbo Engine
French carmaker Renault has introduced a new Evolution+ variant of the Renault Kiger, making the turbo petrol version of the compact SUV more accessible for Indian buyers. Priced at Rs 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom), the newly launched trim bridges the gap between affordability and premium features, strengthening the Kiger’s position in the competitive compact SUV India segment.
The launch is particularly significant because the turbo petrol engine was previously available from higher variants onwards. With the arrival of the Renault Kiger Evolution+, buyers can now experience turbocharged performance at a lower entry price.
Other notable additions include steering-mounted controls, rear AC vents, electrically adjustable ORVMs, a rear-view camera, automatic climate control, push-button start/stop, and keyless entry. These features help the Kiger deliver a premium in-cabin experience despite its aggressive pricing.
While the new variant offers strong value, Renault has kept certain premium features exclusive to higher trims. Buyers will miss out on ventilated seats, drive modes, diamond-cut alloy wheels, and a 360-degree camera. However, for most urban users, the available equipment list remains practical and well-balanced.

The turbocharged setup gives the SUV a stronger mid-range performance compared to naturally aspirated engines, making overtakes and long drives more comfortable. Renault claims an ARAI-certified mileage of 20.5 kmpl for the manual variant, making it a fuel-efficient option in the turbo petrol SUV category.
The Kiger already stands out with its bold styling, spacious cabin, and practical design. The addition of the more affordable turbo petrol variant now makes the SUV even more appealing for buyers looking for performance without stretching their budget too much.
Renault’s strategy appears focused on delivering premium technology and turbocharged performance at a value-driven price point. As competition intensifies in the compact SUV India market, the Renault Kiger Evolution+ could emerge as an attractive option for young urban buyers and families alike.
