Our Verdict
Looking and contrasting at the base variants of both these cars, we feel that Kiger has done a good job in the exteriors as this one sport LED DRLs and turn indicators at ORVM. On the other side, the Nissan Magnite is more of a family-friendly vehicle as it is more spacious on the inside. Similarly, this one also gets additional safety features such as a defogger, rear wiper, and washer which are the crucial essentials during winter and rainy days.
Seemingly, the Renault Kiger adopts other alluring facets such as extra 12V charging space for rear passengers, convenient windows, and adjustable headrests. Overall, although Nissan Magnite is a bit on the pricier side compared to the Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite feels more of a complete vehicle as Kiger SUV misses out on some point.
