Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.69L more for the Kiger Emotion: the Kiger Emotion shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Kiger swallows the most luggage at 405 litres
- Also on the Kiger Emotion: ventilated front seats, touchscreen (8" against 7"), drive modes and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kiger Emotion, you give up connected car tech, height-adjustable driver seat and 60:40 split rear seat, which the Fronx Zeta keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Zeta if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.69L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Renault Kiger Emotion if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
