Renault Kiger 1-litre Turbo-Petrol CVT vs 1-litre AMT: Real-world Fuel Efficiency Compared
The Kiger’s two petrol engines, although the same in displacement, get two different automatic gearboxes. Let’s see how frugal they are in the real world
Renault’s offering in the sub-4m SUV space is the Kiger. The SUV, along with its cousin, the Nissan Magnite, is one of the most affordable models in its segment. It is offered with a set of 1-litre petrol engines: a 1-litre naturally aspirated or the other a 1-litre turbocharged unit. While both get a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard, it’s in terms of automatic transmission that they have their uniqueness. The former comes with a 5-speed AMT, while the latter gets a CVT.
In this story, let’s compare the real-world mileage figures of both the automatic transmissions. First, let’s get the basics out of the way:
