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.
Power and Torque: 100 PS and 160 Nm (Turbo)
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.
