Watch Video: 2025 Renault Kiger Facelift Rear Seat Space And Comfort Tested
One of the biggest strengths of the Renault Kiger since 2021 has been its rear seat space. But does the facelifted sub-4m SUV deliver a similar experience? We find out
- Write a comment
The Renault Kiger is one of the most value-for-money sub-4m SUVs on sale in India, prices of which range between Rs 6.30 lakh and Rs 11.30 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). It received a mid-cycle update recently that rendered it with a modern exterior design, a two-tone interior theme and a couple of new features. That being said, has the rear seat comfort quotient changed with the facelift?
To find out, we tested the seating space of its rear bench by accommodating passengers with heights ranging from 5 feet to 6 feet in our latest Instagram Reel on the CarDekho Instagram handle. Here’s how we did it and the results we found:
Setup
The first and foremost thing that we did to determine the cabin space available for rear seat passengers was to adjust the driver's seat to a position that would be comfortable for an adult who measured more than 6 feet in length. After that, we moved onto the rear bench and tried seating individuals with heights varying from 5 feet 5 inches to over 6 feet to check out the space and comfort factor.
