Renault India launches cheaper Kiger Evolution+ turbo SUV at Rs 7.89 lakh

Renault India has added a new Evolution+ variant to its Kiger sub‑compact SUV line‑up, reducing the entry price of the turbo‑petrol version to Rs 7.89 lakh (ex‑showroom). The Evolution+ is offered with both the 1.0‑litre turbo‑petrol engine (100 hp, 160 Nm) and a naturally aspirated 1.0‑litre unit (72 hp, 96 Nm). A manual gearbox option is now available on the Techno Turbo trim for about Rs 8.45 lakh, roughly Rs 90,000 cheaper than the CVT version.

Key upgrades on the Evolution+ include an 8‑inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, push‑button start/stop, keyless entry, automatic climate control and a height‑adjustable driver seat. The Techno trim adds LED headlamps and 16‑inch wheels, while higher trims retain features such as ventilated seats and a 360‑degree camera.

Francisco Hidalgo, VP of Sales and Marketing for Renault India, said, “At Renault, our focus has always been on making innovation and mobility more accessible to customers… This update reflects our effort to democratise features and technologies that matter most, while staying true to Kiger’s core promise of performance.”
