Over the Kiger, the updated Magnite’s cabin has leatherette seat upholstery and leatherette wrapped steering wheel and armrest. The Kiger, on the hand, gets semi-leatherette upholstery.
Both SUVs get a 7-inch fully digital driver’s display, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, a wireless phone charger, and push button start/stop.
The Magnite facelift, however, offers a better safety package which not only includes 6 airbags as standard, but also a 360-degree camera.
In comparison, the Renault Kiger only gets four airbags and a rear parking camera.

Price Range

2024 Nissan Magnite	Renault Kiger
Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 11.50 lakh (introductory)	Rs 6 lakh to Rs 11.23 lakh

All prices are ex-showroom Delhi

Both 2024 Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger are priced in the same ballpark, with the top-spec turbo-petrol automatic variant of the Magnite asking for around Rs 30,000 extra.

Final Takeaway

From the above comparison, it’s clear that the recently launched facelifted Nissan Magnite is now better packaged and offers more safety features, including 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera. It even feels more premium than the Kiger, thanks to leatherette seats and a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel. However, the Magnite hasn’t received any performance upgrades and still uses the same engine and transmission options that are also offered with the Kiger.

The Renault Kiger, on the other hand, lacks the premium feel that the Magnite facelift now offers. However, it does have some advantages, such as more boot space and multi-drive modes. That said, the Kiger lacks safety features like 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera. So, if you are specifically looking for a better-packaged SUV under Rs 12 lakh, the 2024 Magnite should be your choice. If you prefer large boot space and are willing to compromise on a few features, then you can pick the Kiger and save around Rs 30,000.
