First introduced into the South African market in September 2021, the Renault KIGER has enjoyed success from the outset, with over 28 000 units sold to date.
What is new?
The new Renault Kiger Naturally Aspirated (NA) model, a sub-four metre SUV or crossover, has now evolved with notable design and feature enhancements. Apart from a notable ground clearance of 205mm, it offers refreshed exterior and interior design, advanced technological enhancements and improved safety features, adding to its innate appeal.
Exterior:
The Kiger NA has a new front grille, all-new bonnet, redesigned front and rear bumpers, LED headlamps, C-shaped LED tail lamps, fog lamps, along with 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels and skid plates.
The Kiger model is available in four attractive colour palettes, including a new addition - Grey, alongside existing options: Blue, White and Silver.
Interior:
Inside is a new dual-tone dashboard, premium ventilated leatherette seats, new seat upholstery and enhanced noise insulation.
The refined cabin offers enhanced airflow that keeps the cabin cooler with front and rear AC vents, as well as an improved quiet ride for driver and passengers’ comfort.
A multi-view camera, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, wireless smartphone connectivity, 8” floating touchscreen infotainment, and a premium 3D Arkamys surround sound system all contribute to the new Kiger NA’s feature-rich legacy.
It also offers 15+ standard safety features, with six airbags, ESP, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist and Isofix child seat anchors across the KIGER range variants.
Engine:
The new Kiger model is available with a naturally aspirated engine, delivering 52kW of power and 96Nm of torque, connected to a standard 5-speed manual gearbox for those who love control and the convenient Easy-R AMT.
Range:
Renault Kiger Naturally Aspirated MT Evolution (R219 999), Renault Kiger Naturally Aspirated MT Techno (R244 999) and the Renault Kiger Naturally Aspirated AMT Techno (R254 999).
Range anxiety remains one of the main concerns for motorists considering a switch to electrified vehicles, particularly in markets where charging infrastructure is still developing. iCAUR believes its new V27 SUV offers an alternative by combining electric driving capability with extended driving range through a range-extender powertrain.
GWM has expanded its P300 line-up with the introduction of the P300 2.0T Pioneer Hi4-T PHEV, marking the arrival of the first electrified version of the bakkie range.
As a relatively new player in South Africa's motoring industry, LDV is often assumed to stand for "Light Delivery Vehicles". The acronym actually originates from Leyland DAF Vans, a heritage that dates to the founding of Leyland Motors in the UK in 1896. The brand is now part of the SAIC Motor Group, one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers.
