What owners say

Aggregated themes from hundreds of discussions across Reddit, Team-BHP, and direct owner reports.

Value pricing

Owners consistently call it the most car for the least money in the segment.

Thin network

Renault's shrinking dealer and service footprint is the biggest long-term worry owners voice.

Turbo CVT

The 1.0 turbo CVT is peppy once rolling but drones under hard acceleration.

Boot space

405 L is class-best — luggage space wins family approval.

Loving my Renault Kiger petrol. The engine is exceptionally refined and quiet at idle, sometimes I have to check the tachometer to see if it is running. The ride is soft and comfortable.

The suspension is tuned too soft. There is a lot of body roll around corners, and the car floats and bounces on wavy highway roads, making rear passengers feel car-sick.

Overall a solid packages, but the touchscreen infotainment is prone to random freezes. The cabin is spacious, but the middle rear seat is too narrow and firm for long journeys.

The headlights throw is very poor. The white LED high beam looks fancy but has zero penetration in rainy or foggy conditions, making night highway driving quite scary.
