The base-spec RXE variant is priced from Rs 5.45 lakh, making its introductory entry-level price marginally lower than the Magnite. The AMT variants demand a premium of Rs 45,000 over the manual variants. The CVT variants, on the other hand, come at a premium of a lakh over the turbo-petrol manual variants. Even the top-spec variant of the Kiger is about Rs 4,000 cheaper than the Magnite.
Kiger is one of the most feature-rich SUVs in the segment with several premium highlights. It features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay, air purifier (optional), wireless charging (optional), a 7-inch fully digital instrument panel, and push-button start stop.
Safety is covered by four airbags, ABS with EBD, a rear parking camera, hill start assist, and vehicle stability control (VSC). Since it shares its underpinnings with the Nissan Magnite, we can expect it to get a 4-star safety rating as well.
