I switched to Renault Kiger RXT after just one drive.

Until just a few months ago, I was content driving my 5-year-old hatchback. I never realized that the world had changed a lot. While I knew that new technologies, newer features and even new design ideas were changing the way we drive cars, I never felt the need to change until that one day.


My boss and I were scheduled to go for our factory visit that morning. Since his home was on the way, I told him that I will pick him up in my car. I reached his home and found that he was ready and waiting for me.


He had recently bought a Renault Kiger RXT and hence insisted that we take his car instead of mine. He had not taken the car on a long drive yet and hence wanted to check its capabilities on this journey. So I parked my car and hopped into his.


The moment I stepped inside his Renault Kiger RXT, I suddenly felt as if I had stepped into a different world! I was used to his earlier sedan and distinctly remembered that for a 6-footer like me, ingress and egress from his sedan meant that I always banged my head against the top ledge of the door. But this time, things were different. I got in the car without a hitch!


“Welcome to my new Renault Kiger RXT” my boss exclaimed when he saw me get in without hurting my head. I smiled back sheepishly.


Our factory is a good 120 km long drive out of the city and I knew that it would take about 2 hours to reach there. So to cut time, we began chatting. While I had no plans to ditch my 5-year-old hatch so early, I still felt curious about my boss’s Renault Kiger RXT and asked him why he picked this car over anything else.


He gave me 4 reasons for his decision – space, features, safety and price! Then he began explaining all four of them to me in great depth.


According to him, Renault Kiger RXT had everything that a car enthusiast could ask for. On the inside, the car had ample room for not just the heavy luggage but also featured smartly designed storage for travel essentials. He said that the 29L of internal storage space and 405L of boot, which could be extended to 879L, were simply awesome. The car also offered 222 mm of knee room for the rear seat passenger which meant that all passengers would travel in comfort even on long distances. The height-adjustable driver’s seat made sure that the driver always enjoyed a commanding view of the outside world while being positioned comfortably.


Steering wheel mounted audio controls and the infotainment system entertained you with ease. The smart card access meant that you never have to worry about the keys again. Ergonomic seating coupled with a powerful AC and a PM2.5 air filter kept every passenger remained fresh as a fiddle irrespective of their seating position or duration of the journey. His kids who refused to travel long distances in his old sedan were now eager to get into Renault Kiger RXT.


But the thing he emphasized on were his car’s safety features. With a 4-star rating for adults by Global NCAP, 4 airbags, rear parking sensors, ABS & EBD, and a solid build quality, he felt safe inside his Renault Kiger RXT.

With a starting price of Rs. 7.49 Lakh* (Ex. Showroom Delhi), and a maintenance cost of just 40 paisa per km*, he felt that his Renault Kiger RXT offered him the best bang for his buck!


I must confess that when I heard his reasoning, I too felt the same for a minute. But since I had no plans to change my car anytime soon, I decided not to allow those thoughts to enter my mind thereafter.


Although my resolve did not last for long! Throughout the journey, I kept thinking about it. I even drove back to my boss’s place and I must say that I was impressed with what I had experienced.


Soon I was doing my own research about the car on the internet and found some good reviews on YouTube, CarWale, CarDekho, DriveSpark etc. and in prominent newspapers like The Hindu and The New Indian Express. That is when I finally booked a formal test drive online and experienced Renault Kiger RXT with my family.


I finally got the delivery last month and since then my life has changed for good!
