Market Position & Strategy

Renault is strategically updating the Kiger to maintain its competitiveness until the much-anticipated Duster relaunch. The B-SUV segment in India has expanded rapidly, with demand rising from 12% of the market in 2021 to 31% in 2025.

For Renault, the Kiger has been a key volume driver, contributing over half of its domestic sales. The facelift strengthens Renault’s position in this high-growth segment by offering more safety, comfort, and value without significantly increasing prices.
