Performance and Engine of Renault Kiger in India

Engine: 1.0L Energy (NA) / 1.0L Turbo Petrol

The Kiger offers two distinct 3-cylinder engine options. The 1.0L Energy is a naturally aspirated unit focused on fuel efficiency for city driving. For enthusiasts, the 1.0L Turbocharged petrol engine provides significantly more punch, utilizing technologies from the Nissan GT-R’s engine lineage (like mirror bore coating) to reduce friction and improve heat management.

The Turbo variant is the star performer, producing 100 PS of power. When paired with the manual gearbox, it delivers a peak torque of 160 Nm (limited to 152 Nm for the CVT). The naturally aspirated engine provides a steady 72 PS and 96 Nm, suitable for relaxed urban commutes.
