Renault Kiger Gets Stealth Black Paintjob To Celebrate 50,000 Units

The Kiger subcompact SUV has been on sale since February 2021 

Renault’s Kiger has hit the 50,000 production milestone at its Chennai plant. To commemorate this landmark, Renault has introduced a new Stealth Black hue to the colour pallete of the SUV. It is now available in seven paint options including four dual-tone choices. The new Stealth Black shade, however, will be exclusive to the RXT(O) and RXZ trims.

Since its inception in 2021, the Kiger has been the flagbearer for the French automaker in the highly contentious sub-compact SUV segment. It recently got a yearly update in the form of a few cosmetic revisions, a new turbo variant, and feature additions. Adding value to the overall package is the safety quotient of the sub-compact SUV which boasts a 4-star safety rating for adult protection in the Global NCAP crash tests. 

It is worth noting that Renault also exports the Kiger from its Indian facilities, so not all of the 50,000 units produced have been sold in India.

Here’s the press release for detailed information:
